Try not to scratch if flakes itch. You won't end the flaking and you may cause bleeding or hair loss, making the problem worse. When to See a Doctor. See a skin doctor if none of these tips helps. The doctor may prescribe a stronger dandruff shampoo that contains the antifungal ketoconazole. Flaking can also be caused by a condition like scalp psoriasis.
Skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis are at the root of an itchy scalp for many patients but the condition itself is not the cause of hair loss. Hair loss is the result of patient reactions and treatments to the itchy skin and flaking. Scratching the scalp to remove flakes or excessive scratching can lead to hair loss. Additionally, shampoo and skin treatments for the conditions may be too harsh to hair strands and follicles.
