Question : Itchy Scalp - potential Fungla
Brief Answer:
Do not apply oil and leave overnight, apply KZ shampoo
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor Service.
Itchy scalp is usually due to dry scalp or it could be due to fungal infection.
Apply oil 2 hour before taking bath and wash off well with shampoo.
If you do not see any improvement, then you can try KZ shampoo which is medicated antifungal shampoo.
However, if the problem is other than fungal infection, you will need to consult a dermatologist and get yourself examined.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards
