Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore and itchy scalp which seems to be due to fungal infection, hair follicle infection or Folliculitis, Impetigo, contact dermatitis, side effects of any medications or allergies to certain shampoos or hair cosmetics. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you treatments depending upon the exact cause of the problem. As of now you can take anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Benadryl to relieve itching. In case of fungal infection antifungal shampoos along with steroid lotion massage can relieve. In case of Folliculitis or Impetigo, antibiotic ointments and oral antibiotics can be advised. Anti allergics like Levocetrizine and steroid lotions along with avoiding the irritant use can relieve allergies.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
