Benedryl helps with itching. I also get itchy at night and benedryl takes care of it for me.

Oh wow so happy to see I was not going crazy I would get the itchy head and thought I had head lice go treat and to find out that was not it at all. Sometimes I am so hot I burn from the inside out.

I get itchy head and nose. Sometime's I think I am going to go crazy from the itching. I take a small dose Xanax to help calm me- the itching leads to anxiety and the Xanax works quickly.

I thought I was still having hot flashes. I get them so bad that I am soaked and it is just from my shoulders up. My head and legs itch so bad and I cant seem to get any relief.

Frances75. Yes, I have itchy scalp and sweats, seemingly experienced mostly at night. I think being active during the daytime, we just do not notice as much. I have told this to several doctors and they just give me a blank look. Even the dermatologist did the same. So, where do we find the answers? My own diagnosis is that I have a yeast/fungus problem, for which I take probiotics daily which seems to help. I can say that because when I get off the probiotics or eat too much sugar, my itching gets worse. God luck to you.
