No, my scalp is just really itchy. What can I do at home?
user
There are many options that might work, some of which are home treatments, like applying a warm compress, taking a hot shower, or doing an easy yoga pose. There are also medications available at most drug stores, like corticosteroid creams and antihistamines, but you might have to see a doctor for these.
