What to do to calm down?

Practice relaxation techniques: meditation, yoga, deep breathing.
Use gentle, moisturizing products for your scalp.
Consult a professional if the itching becomes unmanageable.
Lice: Always a problem
Even adults can catch lice, especially when in contact with children. The itching is particularly intense behind the ears and the back of the neck.

Effective treatment:

Use specific anti-lice shampoos and comb through the area with a fine-tooth comb to remove nits.
Disinfect bedding and clothing to prevent reinfection.
Practical tips for relieving itching :
Use gentle shampoos and avoid very hot water.
Do not scratch with your nails to avoid damaging the skin.
Moisturize your scalp regularly, especially during dry periods.
Eat a balanced diet to support hair health.
When to see a professional?
If itching persists or is accompanied by redness, patches, thick scales, or hair loss, consult a dermatologist. Identifying the exact cause is essential for appropriate treatment.

An itchy scalp can be uncomfortable and even debilitating on a daily basis. While it can have many causes, there are solutions for each case. Don't let this worry get you down: an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care will help you regain comfort and peace of mind.
