Has anyone had an itchy scalp with this? If yes have you got any suggestions solutions?

hi Wirralian

I have been on Zeluja for 5 months and have also started having an itchy scalp when I’m in the sun, it’s really intense. All I’ve done is wearing a hat but like you would love to hear any suggestions 🤞☺️

I have been on Zeluja for 10 months now I have only started to have an itchy scalp while we have had this lively sunny weather, I have to wear a hat while out in the sun. It does say that it can make your skin sensitive to the sun. I wear sunscreen from 11 am to 3pm while I am out, but you can't be putting it on you head. I don't know any way other than a hat to stop it.

hi wirralian. Like the other ladies say . It could be the sun. You can buy a spray sunscreen for your scalp. Ultra sun do one for face and scalp spf50. Also don’t spray perfume over your head as this makes you sensitive too. Also take antihistamine. X

hi, Thankyou for the advice about the suntan lotion I will have a go with that 👍🏻☺️

I have also become sensitive to the sun on my head and am wearing a hat more often: although it doesn’t itch. I get itchy skin on the inside area of my knees. I am just using E45 itch cream and taking a half dose of Piriteze at night when it is worse.
