I have an itchy rash on the back of my neck and up on my scalp. I haven t changed soaps of shampoo or anything like that. Don t wear hats but but rash is on my head. It is getting to the point where I am itching that my head hurts. This isn t spreading but it is driving me crazy!!
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that the rash is due to seborrhea dermatitis or related to an allergy in the area. If there are flakes present then seborrhea dermatitis is the likely cause. The exact reason that this condition occurs is not known, but it can be treated with the use of certain shampoos and lotions. Shampoo at least twice-weekly for one month, leaving the shampoo on your head for 3 to 5 minutes. Mizoram, ciclopirox or a tar based shampoo can be used. If it is related to an allergy then an oral antihistamine and a topical steroid cream can be applied twice a day e.g. HY Chat Doctor. The oral anti histamine can be bought over the counter. I hope this helps
