Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good afternoon - For about a week I have had an extremely itchy scalp - there is no dandruff but the itching is insane. there have no changes in my routine such as the shampoo I use or the conditioner - what should I do? what do you think it might be?
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest to apply cooling agents, such as menthol or calamine. If the symptoms continue, you should see a dermatologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
