The national average price of gasoline this Labor Day weekend will be its lowest at this time of year since 2004, a result of low oil prices and a quiet hurricane season that has allowed refineries to churn out gasoline and diesel.
Many scalp problems such as hair loss, bumps, zits, dandruff and itchiness are caused by stress. According to Mountain Auburn Hospital, flaking, itching, pimples and crusting on the scalp are more often a result of either stress or a condition called lichen planus.
Skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis are at the root of an itchy scalp for many patients but the condition itself is not the cause of hair loss. Hair loss is the result of patient reactions and treatments to the itchy skin and flaking. Scratching the scalp to remove flakes or excessive scratching can lead to hair loss. Additionally, shampoo and skin treatments for the conditions may be too harsh to hair strands and follicles.
