Sure, when I am sweaty my scalp gets real itchy and then my face and neck will be very itchy feeling. I have used tried dandruff shampoo and wash my hair every night because I thought it was because I would wash every other day. The past few days it has been very bad..could it be an allergy?
There are multiple causes of itchy scalp and it requires close physical examination to see and diagnose the exact entity.
I suggest you to meet a dermatologist near you so that the exact cause can be diagnosed.
Till that time in my patients with your kind of condition I suggest them to use ketoconazole shampoo locally everyday. It is to be used in diluted form by mixing equal amount of water in it.
For itching I generally prefer to give antihistamine such as loratadine for once or twice daily.
All the best.
