Brief Answer:
Try calamine lotion!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this itchy scalp and the injury you sustained. I will advise that we try local agents such as calamine lotion. If this fails, then we may turn to steroid injections in the scalp to address this problem. Discuss these options with your doctor and report the results to me so that together we can make more helpful suggestions and recommendations.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
