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.
I have the abnormal itching on my top part of my skull. This happen when I m focusing to much or in deep thought,reading an article to too long. When I stop for a moment, it cooles down. Is this normal should be worried?. Your assistance will be highly welcome. Kind Regards.
If the itching occurs mainly when you are concerned or worried then it is possible that they may be both a physical and psychological (anxiety) component to it.
Physical causes would be fungal or bacterial infection. If it is fungal then you would need to use oral medications and not a cream. If it is bacterial , it may be able to respond to topical agents/cream
It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
