Itchy scalp

What sort of infestation Petra …apart from head lice🙀

It isn't my conditioner- I use very little and on the ends, not my scalp.

I don't know how you would apply cream on your scalp and also hope it isn't an infestation- unless it has come from my coat! I shall get out a magnifying glass!

Not the heating, it's been on since October.
Could be a dry scalp just because I'm getting old I suppose.

My diet has changed though, so that could be a factor and I need to get back on track with this after Christmas.

I have hardly been out and always wear a faux fur hood- could it be that? It's a fairly new coat so that's a possibility as it is also affecting the back of my neck.

Maybe it is my coat? I love it though, it is so warm! I hope it isn't my coat- but it could be.

How do you know it isn’t an infestation
I didn’t know mine was until I saw a Trichologist who used a super magnifying camera on my scalp.

I don't have any suggestions but are you rinsing your conditioner out thoroughly? My scalp drives me nuts of I get conditioner on my skin - so I always tip my head forward after shampooing and only put conditioner on the hair strands.

My DH had similar and was given a prescription for a low % topical steroid cream.
I would seek a medical opinion.

I'd say there must have been something different in your diet, toiletries or laundry products -- or you've maybe been in contact with something that you haven't before (woodsmoke, for example, or even something in the snow/rain if you've got your hair wet outside). Wait and see seems like a good idea, as does seeing a pharmacist.

Could it be caused by your heating? Perhaps it’s making your scalp drier than usual?
