What Are the Treatments for Burning & Itching Scalp?
A burning and itching scalp can result from any number of inflammatory skin conditions, such as dandruff, fungal infection, psoriasis or eczema. It may also be a reaction to hair styling or hygiene products, as Columbia University points out on its Go Ask Alice! website. Some causes require specific treatments, so seek diagnosis from a dermatologist. There are general remedies for symptoms of burning and itching, however, on the scalp that should help regardless of the cause.
