What Does Itching On The Scalp Indicate?

The past two weeks my skin just itches all over even my scalp. I have been taking lexapro, Simvastatin,elavil and HTCZ for a long time. My only other symtom is urine that smells like rubber. I am a healthy 68y/F. i had back surgery and take motrin 800mg and an occasional tramadol. I think it may be Hypothyroid???

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hypothyroidism will not cause itching . I think it could be a localized inflammation and would like you to see a dermatologist for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
