A member asked:
Can the growth of gray hairs be the reason my scalp itches really bad and painfully?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gray hair: The growth of gray hair will not cause your scalp to itch. See a dermatologist to determine the cause of your itching.

No: Getting gray hair will not cause any skin conditions that would cause itchy scalp. The dyes used to combat the grey hair may cause a dermatitis/skin reaction that may cause itchiness. Best wishes.
