18 year old son struggling with itchy scalp and skin accompanied by hot flashes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itch, flashes: Check scalp for inflammation or for excessive dryness,dandruff. Switch to washing hair from shampoo to soap which will remove less oils from scalp and hair. For true hot flashes check for low testosterone levels. Consult endocrinologist and dermatologist as needed.
