i have maddening itchy scalp. My dermatologist finds nothing, skin is clear, no visible symptoms. The cause is allergy. Some relief is thusly found in anti-allergents like Benadryl. But only for 6 hours and it causes sleepiness so daytime use is risky. And what I am allergic to is a mistery. Karel

I was diagnosed have Iodine allergy 40 years ago. By reducing salt in food and ingestion of seafood I've been able to reduce the problem considerably. When I feel severe itching in my scalp it coincides with a relaxed diet, thus the itch. Severe itching causes thick, large skin dandruff and will itch and cause me to scratch to the point of bleeding. It takes weeks to reduce the itch to a confortable status but it never dissapears.
