The point of the article was that, contrary to popular belief, an itchy scalp doesn't "just" mean your hair is growing. We wanted to show what some possible causes were and how someone might relieve the itchies. If someone has concern about an ongoing condition, they should absolutely consult their physician! :) CaliCurl, you’re absolutely right — an itchy scalp can definitely be something serious.

Sometimes an itchy scalp means you have a scalp condition which needs to be diagnosed by a dermatologist. I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is extremely common. It causes itchiness and flaky, scaly patches of skin on the scalp, parts of the face, upper back, etc. Anywhere there are oil glands. I have to keep it under control with over-the-counter dandruff shampoo, and occasionally hydrocortisone cream for my hairline and face. Sometimes, it's best NOT to self-diagnose.
