need advice about an itchy scalp

I know this may have already been covered but my itchy scalp is driving me crazy!!

i already have dry skin pretty bad so i'm not sure if thats just all it is or what the deal is. I absolutely hate washing my head because it itches so bad afterwards when i put my wig back on. My scalp cannot handle anything on it. lotion makes me itch like crazy, any type of hat or scarf. every wig i have ever tried has made me itch like mad. I wear three head caps under my wig just to protect my head a little more. If i leave my head alone for about two days the itching will not be as bad but i feel gross if i don't wash my head!!

my poor little head!!! does anybody else have this problem or can offer any advice?

My head also itches a lot. I thought maybe it was because some of my hair on my head is coming back. I also itch like crazy. I also wear a liner, but sometimes it just doesn't matter and I need to pull off my wig a SCRATCH. I put lotin on it, but that doesn't even help. I also have very dry skin.

My doctor explained to me its because of not having hair, my body doesn't produce the oils that people with hair naturally have. I don't wear any liners, but what I do is....and even though they say you never do this, I wash all my human hair wigs in the shower. Keep on my head, and wash it. Same technique, just wash easy and downwards, don't scrub or you will have a tangled mess, and use conditioner, it helps keep the itchies away. I put it up in a towel, and everything! Might try that and see if it helps! Good luck!
