Itchy scalp: An itchy scalp can be caused by many things, but often it is due to seborrhea. It causes a red, itchy rash and white scales. Consider coal tar shampoo (neutrogena t/gel), or selenium sulfide (selsun blue) or zinc (head & shoulders). If this does not work, see a physician or dermatologist to help you with a diagnosis.
