Dry Scalp:

Dry skin or scalp is itchy because of dehydration. When the skin is dry, it is not well-conditioned and cannot protect you from irritants and allergens. A scalp is dry due to dehydration or you may have naturally dry skin or scalp. Drink a lot of water and condition your scalp with oil or a good conditioner to avoid itching because of dry skin.

Dandruff:

This is the most common problem of the scalp occurring due to the overgrowth of yeast that causes flaky and itchy scalp. Yeast survives on the scalp and other hairy areas of the body and the problems increase because of the presence of too much yeast on the scalp.

Your dermatologist may prescribe an anti-dandruff shampoo to attack the yeast to control the dandruff problem. Sometimes, ointments or creams are not useful and you need medication to control dandruff as well.

Psoriasis:

Psoriasis is a chronic scalp disorder that is the reason of reddish and scaly patches on the skin or scalp. Experts do not know about the exact reasons for the problem and treat it as an autoimmune disease. The experts try to control the disease by prescribing special medicated shampoos or other medications.

Tinea Capitis or Ringworm:

Tinea captis is a fungal infection that infects the scalp to form round patches of hair loss. These patches increase in size as the conditions are more severe. The experts recommend anti-fungal shampoos or lotions to remove the effect of Ringworm from the scalp. Oral anti-fungal medicines are also necessary because the infective organism is present in the deep roots of hair follicles.

Lice:

It is a common myth that lice invade your head because of unhygienic habits because lice can be present on the head that is perfectly clean. Adult lice move around the head while their eggs are glued to the hair shafts. Medicated shampoos are used to control head lice.
