Other symptoms include eyelash fall, styes on my eyes, small pimples on my face, changes in my skin, itchy forehad, bleeding scalp, and beaus lines on my nails, along with minor pitting. My scalp is extremely itchy as well. Ive already come to terms with my hair loss on the top of my scalp, but I dont want to loose the hair on my sides or my eyebrows!! please help!!!!
My skin was extremely dry I tried coconut oil tummyy butter aveeno lotion and baby oil nothing helped so I started using something called "mothers friend" it works amazing got it from a local pharmacy but it can be ordered online and is only $8. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water also it helps. For my hair ive been using mane and tail horse shampoo.
But now, I still have itching where the rash was, and an intensely itchy scalp! I always wear a hat in the sun, so I dont think my scalp was ever sun-burned. The itch is not that unpleasant, kind of like the itch one would get, from an opiate, so I havent been taking any more anti-itch pills, because I avoid extra meds, as a genreral principle, in my daily life.
It 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.

I have recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was put on levothyroxine (about the middle of September). I went from taking 25mcg to 50mcg about three weeks ago. For the past two weeks I have had a terrible itchy and flaky scalp and have been using a dandruff shampoo but it doesn't seem to be working. Could this be a side effect from the medicine?
For the last few weeks while i've been on vacation my scalp has been itchy and my hair has been falling out, at first i thought i was going bald at a young age (which was upsetting) then i did some more research and read that it could be a skin infection of some sort that could be reversable.
when scalp becomes oily it starts itching, sometime i can see itchy pimples. Have gone to doctors few time and had taken Antibiotics and shampoos like KZ lotion, Kertyol, Endruff lotion etc..once after medication it becomes bit less but i need to use these shampoos daily to avoid itching and pimples and at the end of the day it always bit itchy
2. I have seen my scalp shape has got bit changed. Its not round anymore like before. It is bit enlarged at the crown area where it normally itches.
I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant and super Itchy especially on my face, scalp, neck, and back. I feel like I rolled in insulation. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
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.
Your doctor can also prescribe a topical steroid for this. These meds are available in a solution that is non-greasy for use on the scalp. The one I've used (and found very helpful) is fluocinonide solution. I also didn't do well with strong menthol shampoos or conditioners - they really irritated my skin even more.
Thanks for the info! I have tried some of the shampoos with salicylic acid or coal tar - all it did was make my scalp worse- sort of firery sore and super itchy. that's why I think its dry scalp and not dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis - the symptoms just don't fit. my hair and scalp are dry, not greasy - even if i go 3 days between shampoos my hair is not greasy. the flakes are small and white and not oily.
s happening to me as well, I have flaky stuff around my hairline and scalp, and through my hair. It shows everytime I wash and dry my hair and that's up I always have my hair up cause am embarrassed about it :( it really is ruining my life, I hardly go out because of it. I use the shame shampoo. Can anyone help?
I put my hair half up half down (mine is long) so I get it on my lower scalp (above my neck, on scalp behind my ears etc) and crown/top of my head. You really dont need it on your hair, just scalp so splitting my hair works best. Only wash it every two days.
Dr can prescribe clobetasol for itchy spots if it gets worse.
Water, sunshine and keeping stress low also helps a lot:) I hardly have issues anymore.
"I have had this for a few months now (2-4 months) and I have had bumps around my scalp. They come and go. I have not had such a bad itch recently but, I also itch around my body, although it's not horrible. I just want to know what I have.
I have hypothyroidism and have been told by an allergist that my skin itching is due to the thryroid. I wake up almost every morning with my skin itchy and red and can't see to control it. Was on steriod and nothing took it away, saw an allergist and still nothing. Really need to find out if there is someone else out there who has this same problem. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
