Itching in the Head

Question

Dear Dr. Hi! this is vivek, I am 27 and from last 4 days i am feeling itching in the head and i feel like pulling my hair. I scratch my head whole day and it looks very emberrasing. Also sometimes it pains too. I am using Sebowash. I am tensed and can concentrate on my work, because of this. Please guide me what should i do about this? how much time it will take? Thanks vivek

Answer

Dear Vivek, You are experiencing Seborrheic Dermatitis. I would recommend that you use Nizoral Shampoo alternating with Head and Shoulders Extra Strength. If this is not helping in 2-3 weeks then you should visit a dermatologist to start you on a topical steroid for your scalp.
