my son has a really itchy head?!


Question: My son has a really itchy head?
i've checked his head over and over and he definitely doesn't have lice or eggs or anything like that. it's not a dry scalp either so i'm out of ideas. any suggestions?

Answers:

He probably isn't rinsing his head after shampooing very good, on top of the weather and it being so dry out, my grandson had the same thing but he is only 4 years old and I rinse his hair and everything, shaved his hair, not bald but short enough and he still gets it every now and then, Doctor says its Eczema !



It could be a type of eczema which can make the head itch. I had to switch to DOVE. Even though it's expensive, I purchase it on a regular basis because it caused the itching to stop. Also, he could have an allergy to something in his regular shampoo. Or, just a reaction to some of the chemicals. Try switching shampoo,



Perhaps it's a shampoo or something he's eating. Has he eaten anything new recently? It could even be an allergic reaction. To find out exactly what it is I'd take him to a doctor. They'd be able to pin point it.

If he uses gel or hairspray that could be causing the itch as well...especially if it isn't being washed thoroughly



Use head & shoulders
