What Causes an Itchy Scalp and How Can You Find Relief in Washington?

Understanding the Causes of Itchy Scalp

Itchy scalp is a common condition caused by various factors such as dandruff, scalp psoriasis, allergic reactions, fungal infections, or irritation from hair products. Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment.

Research indicates that dandruff affects up to 50% of adults at some point, often leading to scalp itching and discomfort. Other causes like psoriasis are chronic autoimmune conditions requiring medical management.

Symptoms and When to Seek Medical Advice

Symptoms include persistent itching, flaking, redness, scalp irritation, or soreness. If symptoms worsen or are associated with hair loss or infection signs, consult a healthcare provider promptly.

Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve scalp health, especially with professional guidance from qualified providers.
