Hi
Scalp itching could be due to either seborrheic eczema or head lice .
A direct examination of the scalp by a dermatologist is essential to differentiate between the above two causes and guide regarding further treatment .
Since you have been using cortisone without much relief ,either you need to be put on stronger steroid lotions like beclomethasone or you might need anti lice treatment .
