Hello,

I need to know if you have headache along with these cramps or not? This might be due to dermatitis or scalp dandruff. I suggest you to visit your dermatologist for detailed examination and treatment if needed.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
