Itching of the scalp is a permanent or temporary sensation of irritation of the skin area. In most cases, itching manifests itself in the form of a response of the body to an irritant, however, in some situations, this phenomenon may indicate the presence of any disease.
Severe itching of the scalp in a permanent form can lead to thinning of the skin, against the background of scratching, to its damage in the form of cracks, as well as inflammation, if there is an infection.

In medical practice, the following causes of scalp itching are most common:
1. Seborrhea (seborrheic dermatitis)
background of excessive secretion of sebum with a disturbed chemical composition. Dry seborrhea is accompanied by dandruff, severe itching of the scalp.
2. Allergic reactions to shampoo and other hair care products
It is not uncommon for the skin to become very itchy when changing the hair care product or products (mask, conditioner, shampoo, balm, styling or coloring products). If itching occurs immediately after applying a new care product, it is recommended to return to the previously tested old one, or try another product that does not contain such substances. This is often the source of the itching. nine0017 Allergy to hair dye is also common and can cause itchy skin.
3. Dermatophytosis (lichen)
Lichen is an infectious fungal skin lesion. This problem is common among children who are in contact with children's groups or infectious animals.
The main signs of lichen is the appearance on the scalp of severely itchy lesions, in the area of \u200b\u200bwhich the hair is broken off or completely falls out. nine0003
4. Various stress factors
Stressful situations (psychological pressure, mental or physical strain, emotional instability, illness or death of loved ones), have already been proven, can also be a source of scalp itching. Against the background of stress in the body, excessive production of adrenaline is observed. To remove the latter from the body, physical activity is necessary. If there are none, adrenaline begins to accumulate in the blood, which leads to the appearance of exhausting itching of the skin. nine0003
5. Psoriasis of the scalp
6. Parasites (lice, mites, etc.)
conducting trichoscopy, the doctor will determine the cause of the itching of the scalp and select the optimal method of treatment. If necessary, prescribe additional methods of laboratory diagnostics.
