*Updated! Unexplained scalp & upper body ITCHINESS!

Emily

For the last 4 weeks I have had a very itchy scalp and neck. Located from the back of my head, and then down to my neck and upper shoulders.

- no rash or irritated skin

- not a sunburn!

- no dandruff or flaky skin

I don't think it's a shampoo or soap reaction; I've used the same stuff (pert shampoo and Target brand body wash) for years.

At first I though it was related to sweating, but now I don't think so. I had been biking more (and so sweating a lot more especially wearing a helmet). But I haven't biked for a couple weeks and nothing has changed.

From what my husband can see of my scalp, there just aren't any visible signs of discomfort. But I can't stop scratching! I might go a few hours at a time that it doesn't bother me, but without fail it will start itching badly, and I HAVE to scratch a LOT.

Anyone ever had anything similar? What did you do?!

*I am planning a doctor visit. I've been on vacation, and didn't want to delay or change our plans! Mostly I'd just like to hear that I'm not losing my mind, and that I'm not alone.

**UPDATE 1!

Went to the doctor, she said it looks like mild exema or psoriasis. I've never had either before. We'll see in a couple weeks if the cream helps!

**update 2!

The corticosteroid worked! Been 2 weeks and I am not constantly itchy. I think excessive sweating aggravated my skin, so now I apply a little of this cream if I notice itchiness. But I don't even need it every day!
