My scalp is always super itchy but i don't have lice, dandruff, or marks of anykind. The only thing that helps is cold water. What could be wrong?

Dandruff and dry skin I have patches of dry itchy skin on my scalp and hair-line. I also have a few patches of red itchy skin near my eyes and eyebrows. Any idea what would be the cause of this and any solutions would be great too.
