Why is my scab itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find cause: The most common is a mild infection with pityrosporum which is handled best with some serious dandruff shampoo. Failing this, a physician's office visit may be in order; it's a common problem with a few different possible causes, and family physicains manage it often.
