Choosing A Shampoo For Itchy Scalp
If your scalp itch is caused by dandruff, learn more about what causes it and which shampoo can be used as a dry scalp treatment while fighting dandruff at the same time.
Not all itchy scalps are caused by dandruff It’s true, there are many dermatological conditions that can lead to an itchy scalp – some conditions may require treatment by a doctor.
Most of the time, however, these issues are caused by dandruff – and it’s easily treated with the right shampoo for itchy scalp.
Itchy scalps caused by dandruff
Dandruff affects around 1 in 2 people in the world. Apart from visible flaking, the most common symptom is an itchy scalp. The sensitive skin on your scalp becomes irritated, and it responds by shedding the outer layers more quickly, attempting to get rid of dandruff-causing irritants.
This irritation causes an urge to scratch – which we definitely advise against as its been shown to damage the scalp even more.
How to treat an itchy scalp An itchy scalp needs to be treated by a shampoo that:
cleans– to rid the scalp of any dirt or grease that could break down into irritating substances
calms– to relieve scalp discomfort with instant cooling freshness, containing ingredients like menthol, peppermint and eucalyptus
tackles the root cause– to keep the dandruff from coming back and causing scalp itch
