Probably not Scabies: Scabies infestations tend to make you itch in all the private places, and on your arms and legs. If your scalp is the only part of your body involved its more likely you have head lice. They are tough enough. If Home remedies and OTC treatments are not working see your PCP for a prescription medication. Also see: http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/ http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/
