Itchy head

Hi there!

I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2020 and over the last 6 months have had to change medication due to further lesions.

During this time I’ve had a couple of periods of “itchy scalp”

Been to the doctor and my scalp looks normal so nothing they can really give. Did a bit of Googling and seems this might be a symptom for some people. Has anyone else experienced this?

MS itches are very annoying. Mine are mostly in my hands, so it is usually fairly easy to run them under a cold tap, which usually helps. It’s not so easy when it’s your scalp! All I can suggest is, try not to get overheated if you can help it. For me at least, it is getting too warm that gets the MS itching going in some areas of residual nerve damage.

I have them too which I never linked to being a possible symptom. My scalp itches to the point I check for nits :blush::woman_facepalming:t2: I also have itchy feet and face.
