Itchy scalp sometimes known as scalp pruritus is not a rare condition. The most common conditions associated with itchy scalps include dandruff and Seborrheic dermatitis, a condition that causes the inflammation of the scalp. The latter can be as a result of stress, hormonal fluctuation and increased growth of yeast on the skin. 

Dandruff may also be caused by certain conditions such as dry hair or overly oily hair.
