Really itchy scalp with no signs of rash/flakes/nits?

OK so headlice were my first thought, but have asked a few lucky people to check now and it's definitely not that.

Apparently there is no flaking, redness, rash or scabbing anywhere. The crown of my head just itches like fury. I'm pregnant, so possibly it is in the vast "one of those things" category.

Anyone recommend any treatments? Seem to remember a TV ad for something called T Gel, any good?

GentlyDoesIt....I had the same on both my pregnancies ,drove me mad!
Used to rake my head like crazy and as the pregnancy progressed the itching seemed to get worse and go all over my head.
Never found anything that got rid of it only the births lol! but even then it went on for a few weeks after on each ,gradually got less and less then just disappeared .
Sorry cant be of any help.

Thanks MMooMar.

I went out last night and realised I was scratching a bit too much, kept reassuring everyone it wasn't headlice as I'd kissed them all hello

just bumping in hopes that someone has a solution. I woke up with hair like Edward Scissorhands this morning from scratching all night...
