Have Itchy Scalp And Ears. Cure?
My scalp and ear itches very badly and rhe itching is unbearable in such a way that I cannot sleep or work. The itching is somewhat controllable by taking the tablet winolap 5mg. What is the best suggestion for that as a permenant cure? I have tried all shampoos including the anti itching ones. I have seen many doctors. I really dont know what to do. Please suggest.

Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
It seems that you have seborrhoeic dermatitis. This is due to oily skin. So, there is no permanent remedy. How ever, you can try the following:
1. No oil application to scalp.
2. Use tar based shampoos weekly twice followed by conditioners.
3. Take oral fluconazole 150 mg per week for eight weeks.
4. Take antihistamines at be time.
5. Reduce stress.
Thanks good day
