Hello, Apart from dandruff, it can be fungal infection of the scalp. For head or scalp fungus, you can use shampoos or creams containing terbinafine, clotrimazole, econazole, ketoconazole, miconazole. A pharmacist can help you in this. If the symptoms persist then oral antifungals may be needed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

I have a variety of infections from toe fungus to urinary tract and now itchty scalp. Could these infections be causing hair loss I am expierincing? I have Firomyalgia and am also menopausal and I am having dr. look at thyroid funcion and vitimin and hormone levels.

I sweat (nerves) and my scalp sours very easily. What can I do to help or prevent.

I'm a former football player and ive been exprencing acne in my scalp around my neck line. I thought it may have been due to dirt and sweat that built up in my helmet. So i cleaned all pads inside the helmet and disinfected it. Since then(2 years ago) ive tried alcohol/witch hazel. Ive tried picking the acne and cleaning it with peroxide. Nothing has seem to work. Could they be from a bad set of hair clippers? How can i get rid of these small bumps?

Since a year now, my hair has been falling alot and my scalp hurts very often. I dont know what is causing this. I'm not under any medication and take multivitamin tablets everyday.

Would appreciate any help. thanks This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/311250'>Bad Scalp Problem</a>.

I have a very very itchy and flaky scalp. I have tried all the OTC remedies, Sea Breeze and Tea Tree Oil. It is driving me crazy. I wake up in the middle of the night sratching my head. I do not have this problem anywhere else on my body except the scalp. I have to constantly wipe my clothing off. I color my hair but have for years. I have not changed my shampoo or hair products at all. Can someone tell me about a remedy that will help...I will try just about anything!

I also just found a small bald spot on my scalp but it doesn't itch. Could it be more than just one diagnosis? Is it alopecea? What kind of doctor should I see. My regular doctor?

I have had a burning/itching sensation on a very small area my scalp. There is nothing obvious to the eye. Although it hurts to the touch and very itchy. Size is irritation is under an inch. Location of sensation is just above the hair line on the scalp. Could this be skin cancer?

He now has very very dry skin on his face and his scalp is very very dry. He moisturizes his scalp and a couple of hours later it is dry again. Same with his face; he puts lotion on his face and a couple of hours later, it is dry again. Could it be the Claritin that is doing this? What can we do?

Iam a 29 yr old woman with 4 yr old child.I have an oily sin and scalp with acne problem. Also my hair is very thin on the top.

I have blisters on my face and scalp that are not acne. The only way to describe them is like the blisters you get on your feet from wearing new shoes. The ones on my face & scalp are small red blisters, and when popped, are raw underneath. It is clear fluid that comes out but then they dry up, become scaley and slightly itch but continue to have "puss" coming from them. They appear under my nose, my chin and around my mouth and everywhere on my scalp.

For the last year I have began experiencing lumps on my scalp and face. They look like a hive from some sort of allergy, there is no head, they are hard and typically red and itchy. They only appear when I am exposed to the sun and most of the time it takes several weeks for the lumps to go away even when there is no repeated sun exposure. I have treated them with OTC creams for allergy etc. with no results. The rest of my body doesn't react to the sun this way.
