My dermatologist is very honest. We don't know! I can accept that to a point but what is being done?

Sadly I don't think there is any answer. So many weird things. I don't leave the teatree on ,just sprinkle and rinse. Only 1 percent of people get this. I fear we are not a priority for research. Just keep sharing, it's a help.

Sounds rather painful.. I know this PN in my arms and legs feel at times ants are crawling under my skin but i read its connected to the nervous system.......but the head, is something you'd need to ask your Dr. I know psoriasis and eczema can be on the scalp but was not aware PN is. I had read PN is most times on legs arms, back and stomach......but you should know, and it makes perfect sense why many of us have an uncontrollable itchy scalps at times......(now it added on my list to google) After all, skin is the organ attacked with PN and our skull is covered with skin ......but with headaches, may I suggest you run that by your Dr........many things can cause headaches, from simple to complex.....call for an appt...not having the same symptom, I don't feel I can answer, would not want to misinform you.
