Several effective topical treatments can help relieve scalp itch from eczema. Ketoconazole (available in 1% over-the-counter or 2% prescription strength) and azole medications work as both antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents to reduce itching and irritation. Ciclopirox is another antifungal option that many people find effective for managing scalp symptoms. Natural remedies can also provide relief. Apple cider vinegar diluted with water and applied with a cotton ball has helped some people reduce itching and redness. Squalane oil and aloe vera gel have been reported as soothing options. Some find relief by avoiding conditioner and using baking soda mixed with shampoo to remove scalp buildup. For severe itching, your healthcare provider may recommend steroidal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Oral antihistamines can also help reduce itching while potentially helping with sleep. Consider using wet wrap therapy for intense itching episodes.
