Elderly with an Itchy scalp

by Patty Harper
(Keller, TX)

Has anyone's elderly experienced an itchy scalp when a variety of doctors have ruled out everything obvious?


A skin biopsy showed nothing unusual, ph balance is normal, all hair products changed to natural.

Could be damaged nerve endings but neurologist cannot say for sure.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

My 91 year old mom going thru same thing! So I’m following this thread and hope someone can shed light on this issue. A friend said it could be internal issue like liver not fully functioning. Good luck!
