I scratch my head a lot, especially when stressed or bored. It gets itchy and I just can't help it. I'm a clean guy, but for some reason I just can't help but get an itchy scalp!

I will sit and watch tv and my head will hurt, so I scratch it and pretty much maul my head. I'm also going bald, but the doctor said it's probably unrelated. I get a lot of dandruff and even on my beard too.

I don't understand it - my skin is oily, except for on my head and beard, where it flakes and gets itchy. I rinse my hair thoroughly and condition it, but still the problem persists.

Is this normal?

    I touch my hair a lot. I just like how it feels. But I like women's hair more. There's something really sexy about touching a woman's hair or massaging her scalp. I'm probably weird.

      In the immortal words of David F. Bowie (the F stands for "Fucking"), "YOU'RE NOT ALONE!".

      But yeah, get some dandruff shampoo. If OTC stuff fails try to get a prescription.

    Head and shoulders or other medicated shampoos- can't hurt to try them. Plus when you have healthy skin on your scalp, your hair looks healthier.
    Try not to scratch the shit out of your scalp.

    You either have termites or lice. Or perhaps the legendary termite lice! Seriously, get some prescriptive shampoo. Or like help is here said steal some head and shoulders.
