Yeah it could be. When I was a teenager/kid I had issues with dandruff but never, never had any major itch as I have nowadays. It was like, a scratch here and there and it would alleviate, but this itchiness that came along my hair loss problems is different. Painful, stingy, annoying. My scalp is cleaner than ever and still I have this issue sometimes, what leads me to believe that is something psychological; the fear of losing my hair, maybe? I don't know. Derms said that things such 'Dht itch' don't exist, but many people on forums tell otherwise. Guess we'll never know.

Everyone is different. But just remember itching is a symptom of hair loss. If you solve the androgenic issues then you won't itch. Keto works because it is an antiandrogen.

Nowadays it doesn't compare to what it was in the beginning, but just so you know how bad it was, in 2019 I used to scratch my head with a fork. It was insane.

Its just an experiment atm. If my hair turns too f*****g dry im switching back to once daily. But gonna oil my hair some too.
I recall the below post from last year where aspirin was the only thing that successfully alleviated his scalp itch. But one problem is that aspirin can compromise the efficacy of minoxidil:

From my experience, I'd guess either some irritant is involved, or maybe it's a circulation issue. Most likely circulation, if it's irregular. I use several different tools for this, and also take nutritional supplements. I've found that there doesn't seem to be any 1 comb or brush that stimulates the scalp entirely or consistently. The scalp is a tendon that covers the top of the skull, but sometimes my itching is behind the temples, or on the back of the skull. Perhaps it is a skin condition, and not scalp inflamation, although I believe that I experience that, as well.
I use a boar bristle brush, a circular flat plastic brush, a slicker brush and a plastic circular device with nubs on it. They all do different things.
The one with nubs will deliver a Dutch rub like nobody's business. Quite painful at first, at least for me. I notice a pronounced swelling along the cranial 'stitcches'. I also get a couple of bumps at points that I suspect are nerve junctions on the sides of my skull, at about the widest point. This requires a soft touch, and after a few days, it all subsides, unless I quit for awhile.
The flat round plastic brush has longer, finer 'teth' that are a bit stiff. I had another one a bit softer that I want replace. This one feels quite a bit different to use, and I use it more if the previous one causes too much pain the first few days.
The boar bristle brush is basically a different type of massage. Usually it is more of a cleaner, as I seem to have thick skin that somehow does not shed easily. My skin has been quite oily, although recent nutritional changes seem to be reducing that.
The slicker brush is a wire brush with 'tines' about the diameter of the third string on an electric guitar. I use this instead of needling, which seems a bit inefficient to me. Caution is advised, however, as I have drawn blood with it several times.
If I am diligent with this, it appears to result in growth returning around the periphery. Only takes a couple of minutes a day, and I use the bristle brush to clean the others.
