I have had an itchy scalp for a really long time. It seems to have gotten worse. I have used evertying from T-Gel, T-Sal, Selson Blue, Nexus anti Dandriff and a few medicated shampoos that my dermotalogist gave me such as Clubex, Zooma another one that I an't remember the name.

I'm getting my hair permed again on Satruday. the last time was a year and a a half ago. However, this problem occured before I started doing anything to my hair.

What can I use in the meantime to make the itch go away without it smelling bad or ruining my perm once I get it?  Will this get worse from the perm chemicals?

Itchy scalp can be caused by several different problems, such as Anais suggested.  It would be best to find out what is causing your itching.

The chemicals from the perm may temporarily resolve the itchiness, or make it worse. If it gets worse, try diluting a moisturizing conditioner, and apply it to your scalp.

Good luck.

What Christiana said is quite common.  Is your itchiness a seasonal condition (i.e. only during the winter?) or is it all-year?

If your scalp is dry, the dandruff shampoos might be making it worse.  Maybe you should get a second opinion about your scalp condition?

Another thing is to not give into the itch.  It can cause more itching and you can break the scalp.

I hope everything works out for you.
