Dealing with a persistently itchy scalp? It’s more than just a nuisance—it’s your body signaling that something’s up. Dandruff, psoriasis, fungal infections, allergies, stress, or even sunburn could be to blame. For dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, shampoos with ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione can work wonders. Psoriasis flare-ups may ease with medicated shampoos, corticosteroids, and stress-relief practices like meditation.
Fungal infections often need oral antifungal meds from a doctor. Allergic reactions to hair products? Always test new ones on a small patch of skin and stick to gentle options. Sunburned scalps benefit from hats or sunscreen for protection. If lice are the culprit, use targeted treatments and wash all bedding to stop the spread.
For relief, choose mild shampoos, avoid hot water, moisturize your scalp, and eat nutrient-rich foods. Don’t ignore an itchy scalp—it deserves care to keep you comfortable and healthy.
