I don't have dandruff so why does my scalp itch?

Dry skin, how long do you go between washings? Try finding a good moisturizer and drink plenty of water... keeps the entire body hydrated.

It's too much testosterone converting in your scalp to deaden hair folicles. Usually genetic. Or it could be a health issue. Check your family or check with your doctor (usually dermatologist)

Well, my first guess would be that the headache and skin condition aren't actually related.\n\nFirst of all, it may be that you're itching because when it's cold outside your skin becomes drier, and it's harder to keep moisturized, which can in turn lead it to flake off and become itchy. So long as there isn't redness and/or sores where you're itching, I'd suggest a heady duty moisturizer. Any sort of lotion applied regularly would work, but in this kind of weather, the thicker and creamier, the better. \n\nAs far as your headache, your question seemed to imply that the headache goes along with the cold weather. If this is the case, you could be having sinus headaches, which can affect some people according to the weather. \n\nOf course, if any of the symptoms continue for extended periods of time even after trying over-the-counter remedies, or worsen to the point that it's difficult to function, I'd suggest going to the doctor. Actually, I'd suggest it anyway, as it's extremely difficult to understand symptoms via the internet without a physical examination, and there may be a condition causing both the headache AND the itch (such as an allergic reaction to a product you're using) that it would be difficult to diagnose without a full exam and more information.

I have some dandruff as well and this is what i do. You can buy this neat thing called an "scrub brush" from most stores that sell shampoo and other hair products. With some anti-shampoo and the scrub-brush, scrub your scalp and get all the dandruff you can off it then wash your hair with the shampoo repeat this daily and it should get rid of your problem pretty quickly.

I've got a great solution for you! My hairdresser used Sea Breeze astringent liberally all over my husband's head after she shampooed and washed it (he has terribly dry, flaky scalp and skin) and ran her fingers through his hair to distribute in around his scalp. It doesn't sound like it would work but it did! It loosens up all the loose dry skin and clears it off your head. Ever since, he hardly ever has any dandruff or dry skin. Use about once per week if it's really bad, or as needed. It won't hurt your hair, quite the opposite, it will help clean off build up from product use. Try it! Hope this helps!

For one........don't over wash your hair!\nYour body produces natural oils for a reason.\nWash in the P.M. then allow the night oils to help the scalp, skip days if possible.\n\nMixing Mayonaise and pure olive oil into a conditioner then put your head and rub in.Wrap your head in a moist hot towel for 1/2 hour. Rinse gently in warm water, do not shampoo. and leave overnight. Shampoo lightly in the A.M if you have to.\nIf that fails after multiple trys..... Head and Shoulders has a 2 in 1 for dry scalp with menthol to sooth the itch.\nAsk you doctor if you may be suffering from allergies as well.

Dandruff is the excessive flaking of dead skin that forms on the scalp. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Some people, however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers, experience an unusually large amount of flaking, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation. Most cases of dandruff can be treated with specialized shampoos or common household remedies which are available over the counter at your local pharmacy.\nDandruff can also be a symptom of seborrhea dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infection or head lice. Excessive scratching should be avoided. Scratching to the point of causing breaks in the skin can increase the risk for infections, particularly from staph and strep bacteria. While these infections are the biggest risk from dandruff, many people find that dandruff can cause social or self-esteem issues, so treatment can be very important for purely social reasons. So it might be better if you had a check with your doctor on this. \nHowever I find that "Garnier Anti- Dandruff" shampoo and conditioner works well as using this on a regular basis keeps the dandruff at a low level as well as getting sufficient exercise and eating well and stress less. \nAs for acne it depends on how bad your case is as to what will work the best. When i was a bit younger i had fairly bad acne and i went to my doctor and she gave me pills for it. You could also try a number of household remedies for eg- \n- try putting some metho on a tissue and wiping the excess oil, doing this for a few day on and a few days off\n- my mother used to tell me to put toothpaste on face b4 i went to sleep which also helped \nIn conclusion i suggest to go and consult your doctor he/she maybe able to give you something or there are a number of herbal treatments.\nBest of all when you have found the product that works for you stil to it.\nGood luck as its a long road.

It could be several things. You may need to try a soap that has no fragrance or additives in it, like Ivory. Changing soaps often isn't good to do either. You may also have "hard" water in your area which will leave a soap film on your skin which can cause itching. Your skin may be extra sensitive to it. Try having your water tested or get a water softener installed. Your shower water may be too hot which pulls all the natural oils from your skin, causing drying which could also be the culprit. Try taking a cooler shower. Keep in mind that it will take a few days for your skin to regain it's PH levels so the itching may continue for several more days.

Is it psoriasis, dermatitis, or just plain dandruff? Is on on exposed skin or just your hair?\n\nThe easiest answer without knowing your exact condition is this...\n\n1. Use a coal tar shampoo on your scalp (Like T-Gel) or similar dandruff products which can be bought at Walmart...\n\n2. Don't use conditioner all the way down to the roots...(Makes it worse)\n\n3. Getting some sunshine helps dandruff and  psoriasis...May I recomend a local pool? The chlorine seems to help too...\n\nIf the problem still persists very badly or covers a large portion of your body then you should see a dermatologist so they can give you prescription treatments...

NO! That will dry your scalp more. You should wash your hair every other day or 2x's a week. Try using a dandruff shampoo like Selsun Blue or Tegrin.

Green skin?....I wonder, could it be that you have exposed your scalp to a chemical...maybe a hair dye or perm that is causing this kind of reaction.  I had a family member that had a similar problem-every month when she'd dye her hair, after about 1-2 days, her entire scalp would turn into one huge flake.  After another day or so, the flake would break up into smaller flakes and they would be whatever color she happened to have dyed her hair.  The green sounds as if there's a chemical and allergic reaction going on.  I would check with a dermatologist.

ok firstly wash your hair every 3days and make sure you dont use any other hair products such as creams or mouses or hairspray. the night before you wash your hair massage your head with coconut oils and leave overnight. use an intensive conditioner once a weak with wheat proteins in it... drink more milk and eat more protein foods . also stay away from hairbands that are tight... like elastics. keep doin this for a few mnths and youl notice an improvement! oh and dandruff.. use head and shoulders. trust me
