The crown of my scalp is itchy almost every day. it only happens on my crown, my mom checked it and says there is nothing out of the ordinary. what could it be?

Itchy scalp: If your mom does not see anything there is probably no significant problem. Some thoughts would be possibility of early eczema, tinea capitis, or dandruff. Try a dandruff shampoo and see if that helps. If problem persists see your provider.
