I have had this hurting itching burning and scabs on my scalp for a very long time now. I even have a big spot of baldness on the top of my head. Any advice would be appreciated cause this is driving me crazy.

I go to dermatologist. Meds he has given has helped.

I hate these scabs and sores on my head! My hair is about the last thing that I have that's any good!!! I have tried many shampoos and conditioners. I find that mine get better when they are dried out. I have been using a dandruff shampoo and they are not as painful now.

Tresemme shampoo and conditioner for dry hair is the brand I have found I can use for the longest period of time.I hope you find something to help .

I would go to a different dermatologist. I think they could prescribe steroid cream for that.

Funny thing is for some reason it calms it down. Than about 5 or 6 weeks after the dye starts wearing off or my hair grown in. I wear it short the burning and itching starts up again. Terrible to say but I think the ammonia in the hair dye somehow on me calms it down
