Is Biopsy Required For Itching And Burning Scalp?

Itchy, burning scalp; long history of hives but only on my scalp after haircoloring until about a year ago; scalp feels "crawly"; hot, sweaty scalp makes situation worse; should I have a scalp biopsy to see what's going on? My Derm says its hives; all blood work normal; histimine levels in blood over 300.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
in my opinion you are suffering from eczematic dermatitis induced by hair colouring agents

In my opinion you should take a course of anti allergic drug like tab fexofenadine for 5 to 7 days

if symptoms persist even after that please consult your dermatologist

hope I have answered your question
Have a nice day
