Avatar f tn I try not to scratch because that obviously irritates the skin more and turns it red. I also have an odd patch of bumps on my scalp. The bumps on my scalp have been there for quite some time. They itch and are very red and Im not sure what to do about it. I havent changed anything in my daily living to out of the norm. I use the same soaps and lotions that I always have so I dont think its an allergic reaction.

1041303 tn?1421387341 I am 13 weeks and for the last week I have extremely itchy scalp!! I have not changed my shampoos recently, and I don't have lice lol. I did start a high blood pressure pill last Monday, but can not find anything to do with that.
Avatar n tn If scratched, any condition on the scalp can get infected and become more itchy or painful. Also, fungal infections or ringworm of the scalp can also present as an itchy, red scalp. In addition, applying a variety of treatments may cause an allergic contact dermatitis. Is there any way you can get to a dermatologist quickly? All the potential conditions are treated differently.
Avatar f tn Hi gypsy,this is an old thread from 2009.What helped me with the itchy skin and rashes during treatment was the Thera Wise-SHO Bio Active Skin Healing Ointment.It releaved the itching to a minimum,it also helped with the rashes.Or just plain old fashion olive oil does wonders for some.

1148619 tn?1332010984 I know the itchy skin and scalp has been hashed over and I feel like I have a handle on the skin, lotions, humidifier, cool showers, etc but the itchy scalp is not calming down. I wonder what people think while talking to me and I constantly itch scalp. My doc looked and there is no dandruff. I tried hot oil packs, all sorts of different shampoos, etc. thinking of going to salon and see if they have a suggestion. I know I saw somewhere here recently this being mentioned.

Avatar f tn A month ago, I got these little red dots on my back and stomach. they're really itchy. suddenly, they've transferred into my arms and legs. after sometime they're gone, my skin became "chicken skin". and now when I feel itchy and scratched my legs, red itchy bumps will appear. They're like mosquito bites. But when I stop scratching, they will be gone after few minutes. What could these be?
Avatar f tn The skin is red in spots on my neck, but the skin on my scalp is said to be a different color than the rest of my skin. Almost like the skin is much thicker there.
