Ouch. Have you been taking any vitamins containing Vit.K.\nIt happened to me and my sis told me about it.  My head also itches since I am allergic to some shampoos and when I do not use that shampoo, there is no itching.

Long, hot showers or baths can cause overall itching especially this time of year. They dry out the skin. It is called winter itch.\n\n1. Try taking a quick shower with warm water.\n2. Put lotion on body as soon as you get out even before skin\n   is completely dry.

this time of year it is probably just dry skin itch. get a good bath oil and soak in a not hot tub. hot water tends to dry the skin out even more, later up after bath with baby oil  all over . see if that doesnt work.\nif these itches are accompanied by red raised lines on your skin could be a critter called scabies. need a rx to fix that problem.

Use ice to make the itching stop for like, 2 minutes while you put on some anti-itch cream (Cortisone cream, Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, etc). After that, try not to scratch it and apply the cream when you need to. Another really good thing is calamine lotion. That can make anything stop itching. They make clear calamine lotion too if you really don't want to see the white lotion on your skin when it dries. Apply that whenever you start to itch and/or after washing the skin. It works wonders!

I am still working on this one myself- aveno oat meal baths, reguarly use a healing mosturizer (I like curel ultra healing extra strength skin hydrator) the key is to put it on before the itching starts- Ive been told not to use cortizone too much because it thins the skin- benadryl gel can be helpful- store it in the fridge so that its cold when it goes on- sarna anti-itch cream SOMETIMES helps- I also find it helpful sometimes to either apply an ice pack or wrap it in an ace bandage- Ive also been told to "pat dry" when getting out of shower/bath- avoid scratching at all costs- BELIEVE ME I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS!!

Try hydrocortezone or an antihistamine like benadryl

Did you tell the doc you still have itching? I recommend Switching meds.  There are usually three or four meds that can do the same thing with slight variations.  The first med prescribed isn't always the best for you.

You got hive. You can take some benadryl now but it won't go away...go see the dr. and get some prednisone and hydroxizine and epipen asap. Don't scratch. The more you scratch the more they spread. If they are too itchy ask the dr. write you the rx or itchy cream also.

first of all, CHANGE YOUR SHAMPOO! if you've been using that shampoo for two months and it's still not working, then it's better to throw it in the trash and get a new one! Use a mild, non-medicated shampoo. The scalp should be massaged gently to loosen flakes and the hair and scalp rinsed thoroughly. It is possible you're not rinsing your hair properly so make sure you do! but don't scratch your head when rinsing, use the tip of your fingers and massage. You may want to use tea tree oil, it's proven to be great on fungal diseases. FYI, dandruff is fungus. so change your bed sheets, pillow sheets, etc. and rinse your combs and brushes. If dandruff is still persistent, call your dermatologist.

You can't get rid of it my friend. It has to wear itself out! But to feel better try Tylenol Severe Cold Formula. It helps. And sip on piping hot drinks(tea, hot lemonade) to help clear your head.  Hope ya feel better soon.

there is a cream you need to find a better doctor(s)I think it starts with a P. I had it once from working as a cashier someone gave it to me and I gave it to my kid dr prescribed the cream and it only took a few days to clear up. If it's that nad you need to get help immediately go to the E.R. if you have to if you get that cream you will feel so much better I can't believe you could deal with that so long...the itching is horrible.

Ok...I don't know how you wear your hair...but do you wear it up all the time? Like..in a ponytail or bun or something? Cuz I used to wear my hair like that everday and it was always itchy. So I started wearing it down one day, and after about a month, my head was fine. But yeah, if you don't wear your hair up all the time, and it's just itchy for no reason, I would suggest asking your doctor, cuz I have no clue. Sorry...

Well I assume you are white so have you ever considered that you have lice (do you live with animals in the house??). If not then start by thoroughly washing your hair with medicated shampoo. Then use a light oil or grease in your hair. Sulfur 8 works for me and my kids when their heads start to itch. A little oil/grease wont hurt anybody, no matter what hair type!!

try running a bowl of warm water and adding mint or lavender to it.put your head over the bowl and place a towel over your head and stay like that for ten minutes.alternately you could go and see the doctor or just rest,stay indoors if you can help it. ♥b♥

This is a itchy inflammation of the skin, characterized by dry, scaly, and thickening.  Stress and tension can increase the itching.  Normally treated with corticosteroid creams and maybe anihistimines.  Sometimes your doc may even prescribe a patch with the meds in it so it decreases the scratching
