What Causes Itching In The Scalp And Lower Back?
Good morning, I have been experiencing annoying itch scalp that is mostly located in the lower back of my head about an inch above the neck hairline...keeping me awake at night scarthing. I am using head and shoulders scalp anti itch shampoo but no relief ? Can you suggest my next step to end this issue? Thank you for any help...Cheryl

causes of itching should be determined first. it may be due to dandruff/ fungal infection, seborrheic dermatitis (scalp disease) or some other cause. proper examination should be done by a dermatologist and then prescription according to diagnosis
