Q: Can you suggest ways to help my itchy scalp, especially this winter? Do the products I use cause my scalp itch?

A: It is always a good idea to check the ingredient label to make sure there is nothing on the list that you are allergic to. You can also test your products by eliminating one at a time from your regime to see if it makes any difference. We have found that the usual cause of an itchy scalp is lack of scalp stimulation, reaction to a medication, or excessive heat in the shower at home or work. We offer a wonderful treatment that manipulates your scalp to increase blood flow, which loosens your scalp and alleviates the itching. Ask us about it when you make your next appointment.
