It’s tempting to scratch an itchy scalp. Doing so may relieve the itch, but it can make things worse. That’s because scratching releases flakes of skin and increases visible dandruff. It can also weaken hair, making it prone to breaking.
Luckily, you may be able to get some relief by using over-the-counter (OTC) shampoos that are formulated to calm tight, itchy scalps.
If you have any trouble finding the right product, ask your doctor or pharmacist for a suggestion.
