Haan bilkul, sir par bhi eczema ho sakta hai, jise log scalp eczema ya seborrheic dermatitis kehte hain. Isse bahut zyada dandruff aur itching hoti hai na? Kisi achhe doctor ko dikhakar medicated shampoo shuru karo, normal oiling se kaam nahi chalega.
Yes, I have been managing scalp eczema for the last five years. My advice is to avoid hot water head baths completely as they dry out the scalp further. Use only the prescription coal tar or ketoconazole shampoo your dermatologist recommends, and never scratch the itchy patches.
It can indeed happen on the head and it is very annoying. I tried applying aloe vera gel and diluted apple cider vinegar, which gave very mild relief from the itching. But honestly, only a doctor's prescribed lotion and hair wash finally controlled the flaking properly.

Yes, you can get it on your head. Just try to avoid using hair styling gels and heavy chemical hair dyes until it completely heals.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! It is just a common scalp issue and very easily treatable. Just stop using hard shampoos for a while, keep your scalp clean, and let a skin doc suggest a good mild wash. It will clear up soon.
