Excessive scratching of the scalp can lead to irritation, inflammation, and potential damage to the skin. This can result in conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, or even secondary infections. Continued scratching may also disrupt the scalp's natural barrier, leading to dryness, flakiness, and potentially hair loss in severe cases. It is important to address the underlying cause of the itching and avoid excessive scratching to maintain scalp health.
