Is it normal i scratch my head to the point it scabs. habit?

I scratch my head all the time. And everywhere else, specially back. My head just itches!!!!! And then I San and its even more itchy!
I take showers every other day. I'm female so I can't dry out my scalp (y I wash every other day)

What to do! Or do other people do this?
I change my shampoo and conditioner up a lot.

    Try not to overcondition. I had this problem in middle school. I used head and shoulders dandruff control. It worked wonders for me. Try to remind yourself to stop once you start itching, because it'll just get worse.

    Hi there!

    It seems as if you have nurtured a habit to the point that it may be harder to kill off.
    Maybe, however, you're worrying about something which needs medical treatment.
    My son, Samuel, the youngest of twins, has extreme excema covering his eyebrow, chin, neck, chest and back, and some on his arms. He's only five so we have to keep telling him to stop scratching, but perhaps you need to get checked out in case your 'habit' is actually physical, like excema.
    Good luck!

    For some reason, I have had an itchy scalp recently! I tried that T-Gel shampoo which is coal tar. It stinks but it's very good. I also started taking an anti-histimine which seems to be doing the trick.
