I don't get the itching my head hurts so bad during flairs I can't brush my hair though

I cut off all my hair because it hurt so much that even the weight of my hair hurts it

Yeah that happens to me sometimes. Usually at night while I’m trying to sleep because I can’t focus on anything else, I end up scratching until I bleed

Same here, when I talked to my primary doctor about it, he said that he doesn’t think it has something to do with nerves but then again he doesn’t specialize in that kind of stuff.

I often get scabs on my scalp from it itching during flares! I thought I was crazy and it couldn’t be related

I didn’t know it had to do with my flares until my mom said something about nerves making it seem like there’s a spider in her hair.

Yes, all the time!! I also pick at bumps and other skin oddities

Tyle_r

I do that subconsciously

I get that all the time and I wondered what it was from. Thank you for making me not feel crazy!

Tyle_r

I’m glad that I’m not crazy either lol

Mine does really badly during a flare up! I usually coat it in conditioner or coconut oil if I have it because of how irritated it gets
