Re: [QUAD-L] Itchy Head
I fight the itch in my scalp. I shave my head with a number 1 clipper and use the expensive selsun blue shampoo after I use regular shampoo when I shower. It helps somewhat, but still get a little itching. should be better with summer. Since I have been a quad I have a fixation with wearing a beanie hat. Im sure that doesn't help things.

I have a weird swirl in my hair on back of my head. When I lay on it, it bends back. I now keep my hair real short. But its driving me crazy. I WISH I could scratch it all day long. I just ordered a glove brush. It has a big oval bristle pad. I'm going to cut it out and Velcro it to my headrest. So I can just turn my head all day. Greg

Re: [QUAD-L] Itchy Head
itchy scalps are worse for me in winter. I keep a bottle of scalp shampoo in the shower. Lather it up on my head then have a white scrub brush to scrub all the dead skin off then rinse. after that I go over again with regular shampoo.
