Itchy/ numb skull

[simonetwentynine 16]

Hi all,

I know this sounds weired, but I'm suffering from an insanely itchy head , yet when I scratch I can nearly feel my scalp.

I had my sleeve 6 weeks ago, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this weired sensation? Could it have something to do with the hair loss that sometimes occurs post surgery?

Oops I meant can bearly feel my scalp...

Wow, that sounds strange.. I can't help you with that question! I don't even get sleeved till July.. Just wanted to say hope that it sorts itself out soon. Must be annoying. Take care x

It could be related to Hair loss but also dry skin. With the low amount of food that we eat I think it also drys our skin. I do take Biotin but I still have itchy skin: tummy, head, arms. I use alot of creams too!

are you getting enough good fats and Protein? are you being followed by a nutritionist? sounds like a Vitamin deficiency to me.

•I try to eat 2/3 avocados a week , but no other good fats, I guess that's probably not enough.

•I do see a Nut, but am not due to see her for a few weeks.

•My intentions where to start a multi Vitamin as soon as I was on a full diet again , However I wasn't able to find a brand that had a small capsule ( I find the large ones hard to swallow )

So I bit the bullet and purchased some 2 weeks ago.

I googled my symptoms & it turns out when hair follicles go into the resting phase they can cause itchy/burning/irritation & numbness.

Ill call my Drs office on Friday , as its a public holiday in Australia today . Hopefully it's nothing to worry about it... Although it is driving me nuts!

Benadryl is a cough elixir here in Australia, are u suggesting I take some kind of antihistamine perhaps?

Thanks everyone for your comments & suggestions ????

One a day makes petite. They aren't super tiny, but a lot better then the regular full size pills. About 1/2 the size.

Do you think 1000 mg of fish oil a day would help your skin? Also benadryl will help with the itching temporarily until you figure out the cause.

I take cod liver oil caps it helps.
