Is it possible to permanently treat an itchy dry scalp? how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry scalp: The dry scalp can be from eczema but also can be from contact dermatitis, if you apply products on your hair. You need to use a vegetable oil to massage your scalp overnight under a shower cap to keep the moisture trapped in your scalp. There are prescription products that you can use too, a dermatologist can guide you.
