Irritated and itchy skin with no rash
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Feb 5 7:15pm | Replies (67)Comment receiving replies
Has any experienced severe itching and burning on the scalp and hair so so dry, breaking and thinning? It just came on and I have been trying everything from tea tree and olive oil, leaving it under a shower cap for 24 hours and didn’t do a thing. I also get these bumps on my scalp that just pops up. Has anyone experienced this and have any that helped?

Yes, I have the same but my skin on my entire body feels this way. Almost like sand paper.

Hi @jjentages. Sorry you are experIencing such problems with scalp. I am going on 4 yrs of long covid with ever changing head to toe types of rash bumps/no rash bumps with no itching to severe itching. As others here have shared, my experience definitely also related to new covid created reactions of histamine/spice in food as I could eat anything before. Recent doctor visit validated my scalp/ hair loss issues due to covid and being very mindful of everything I eat appears to be helping. If your body can tolerate 100% cold pressed olive oil, I found putting a few drops in my hot water helped for the dryness and hair loss. Again as with everything else on this journey, took months to determine even for obvious items like kiwi or cinnamon so patience and persistence your friend🤞Now at least its not as constant and severe and my hair/scalp doing better. Hope this helpful and quickest healing journey to you🌈
