Common Culprits of itchy scalp

• Dandruff

One of the major causes of itchy scalp, dandruff occurs when the body sheds its dead cells in clumps, resulting in accumulation of white, flaky skin coming off the scalp. 

• Ringworm

Lest you misconstrue, this condition has nothing to do with worms. This is a ring-like appearance of scaly, white patches on the scalp caused by a fungal infection. Ringworm can be contagious and must be controlled using appropriate shampoo.

• Incomplete rinsing

Whether you are applying shampoo or dye to your hair, rinsing your hair completely is crucial. Leaving the shampoo or dye can result in dandruff and further flakiness. It may also trigger a condition called contact dermatitis. Hence rinse thoroughly and leave no residuals.

• Head Lice

These miniscule bugs, if not cleared away, can give you sleepless nights. Besides the irritating itch, the crawling of insects can cause an unnerving effect making your head feel ticklish.

• Skin conditions

Chronic diseases like Psoriasis, Eczema and Seborrheic Dermatitis have a detrimental impact on skin as well as your mental well being. One of the many symptoms of these conditions is dry flares and flaky scalp causing irritation. However, it can be controlled with dedicated coping mechanisms and lifestyle adjustments.
