I have constant itching on my scalp, and my skin is flaking like dandruff. What should I do?

You should consult your doctor or a dermatologist, as persistent scalp itching and flaking may be due to seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis rather than simple dandruff. Your doctor may recommend an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium sulphide, or coal tar to reduce inflammation and clear flaking skin effectively.

It sounds uncomfortable to have constant itching and flaking on your scalp. This is often related to dandruff or a scalp condition that may benefit from specific treatment.

You might consider using a medicated lotion like Momate Lotion, which is a topical treatment available by prescription and can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, since this lotion requires a doctor's prescription, I recommend consulting a dermatologist who can examine your scalp and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

In the meantime, you can try to:

  • Use a gentle, anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide.
  • Avoid scratching to prevent irritation or infection.
  • Keep your scalp clean and avoid harsh hair products.

If you notice worsening symptoms, such as severe redness, swelling, pain, or hair loss, please seek prompt evaluation from a dermatologist.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're dealing with constant itching and flaking on your scalp.
