Some sort of vitamin deficiency? The rest of my skin (other than face and scalp) is pretty dry, too. I have had my thyroid checked, but never had vitamin levels checked. Any advice? I am so tired of being embarassed.
My issue dates back 7 years where I had an intensely itchy scalp like a crawling sensation for a month. It has since come back for 2 weeks at a time then disappears. Until last year when it came back April 2017 it has gone for 2 months then has been there pretty much for a year. It is an unbearable need to scratch it and is like a crawling sensation all over my head.
Go back to your doctor and have him/her a full blood work to see whats up and take it from there. It could be something small such as vitamin deficiency where a supplement will help, but it could be something such as a thryoid issue that needs attention. I also definitely agree with finding a natural shampoo. If you do not want to make your own and do not mind spending a little extra money, www.****.com has all natural shampoos, conditioners, lotions, soaps, etc. Good luck!
My scalp is very red, slightly smelly and itchy, however it is only down the centre part of my hair. In addition, I am losing handfuls of hair every time I wash it. I have tried oral antibiotics, topical antifungals, corticosteriods, coconut oil, Head & Shoulders shampoo for itchy scalp, Nizoral shampoo and Neutrogena Tar shampoo, however, nothing has improved my scalp. It started about five months ago and it is getting more severe.
Hi-
I have had the same feeling for the past three weeks. Especially my face and scalp. I thought it might have been scabies but the doctor stated it was a reaction to a bug bite and that scabies don't infest the scalp and face, gave me anti-itch cream and wrote me off. After two weeks, I still itch but now it's accompanied by pins and needles sensation which increases the itching. I also get tiny pimple like bumps immediately followin the itch.
Gluten could be it. Any food allergy or vitamin deficiency. Try cutting out gluten (wheat, bread, baked goods, cereals). I have the same thing, and then I connected to the fact that I also have an itchy back and scalp. I noticed my back would itch after eating gluten, I have just now connected it to my legs and scalp. Give it a try!
stress-related reasons, thyroid disorders, iron deficiency anemia, excessive intake of Vitamin A, hereditary reasons etc. I suggest you to take opinion of a Dermatologist who will do a methodical medical check-up and advice accordingly.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Hi,
Seborrhoeic eczema (also Seborrheic dermatitis AmE, seborrhea) is a skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and trunk causing scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin. It particularly affects the sebum-gland rich areas of skin.
Soaps and detergents such as sodium laureth sulfate may precipitate a flare-up, as they strip moisture from the top layers of the skin, and the drying property of these can cause flare-ups and may worsen the condition.
This neuropathy can be due to Diabetes, Prediabetes, Vitamin deficiency, and altered blood pressure status, any nutritional deficiency, and abnormal endocrine status, compression of nerve or impingement of nerve at time of exit from Vertebrae.
You should be doing HbA1C, ESR, serum protein/immuno-electrophoresis, and vitamin B12, BUN, and creatinine levels.
In your case it could be due to diabetes or dehydration, so you should hydrate your self well.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.
Then I surfed on net and came to know that HLA-B27 positive people have gluten sensitivity and intake of gluten does not let intestine to absorb vitamin B12 and hence continuous intake of gluten creates vitamin B12 deficiency which lead to itchy eye problem and B12 deficiency related problems.
I have celiac disease related symptom like fatigue but that is also related to vitamin B12 deficiency.
My mother has chronic diarrhea and headache problem since 2005 which seems celiac disease.
depends. Vitamin D level can cause you all types of issues. There is research that items like dermatitis might be the lack of Vitamin K2 or K in your body as well. I would check K, D ,Calcium, and Magnesium levels or get a Dr to do it.
Also, with scalp dermatitis it can be caused by dandruff Dandruff is caused by 3 types of fungus, so if you only use one type of shampoo it will never go away. I think using Cesium Blue, Head and shoulder and another...
They are common in alcoholics and metabolic disorders like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism. They can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the tingling is gone or not.
In case the symptoms persist then please consult a neurologist as it can be due to some neurological disorder. Hope it helps.
On finding out I was Vitamin D deficient I decided to sit out in my back garden in the blazing heat for a good 30 minutes. Later on that evening I started feeling itchy all over my body including scalp, nose, nose, private areas...everywhere. It was accompanied by a burning sensation in my lower back. I ignored it for a few days thinking it will go away. But it didn'the. I was advised to take anti histamines like Clarityn/Piriton which had little effect.
Kidney disease, liver disease and some hereditary diseases can cause impair vitamin D conversion into its active form. Vitamin D deficiency leads to bad mineralization of bones and this can lead to bone softening, which causes osteomalacia, rickets and osteoporosis. Rickets develops in
children and osteomalacia affects adults.
Vitamin D also helps with the absorption of calcium which is required for healthy teeth and bones.
I also have a regularly itchy and dry scalp with white or yellow flakes everywhere. I lose a lot of hair during combing and when washing it so have reduced to washing my hair only a couple of times a week or at the most 3 times.
Also I often find 'scabs' on my scalp which itch like crazy till I pick them off (gross, I know!) and there are even some small 'bloody' bits in places. My hair strands always have something whitish-clear stuck to them like glue (oil?).
I now take sublingual B12 spray and magnesium with vitamin D3. I posted an indepth list of causes for vitamin B12 and vitamin D deficiency on another answer:
