I don't have nits, I wash enough but not too much, I have a bit of dandruff, I scratch the back of my scalp till it bleeds and scabs over, it's not my shampoo so it must be the heat. IIN?

Is It Normal?

    I'm scratching my own head in puzzlement: sweat anywhere can cause itching, how can you not know that?

    You need medicated shampoo, eg Head & Shoulders, and if you've been washing your hair every day, stop it, you're drying your scalp out.

    I can get this too sometimes. Use Denorex mentholated anti-dandruff shampoo with 3% salicylic acid. It feels good on irritated skin and it helps heal the scabs. I have eczema and I use steroidal cream to control breakouts. Maybe consider seeing a dermatologist?

    The back of my head itches a lot when I sweat. I have to force myself not to scratch or I have the same problem as you, sores.
