I"m hoping someone else has had this, cause i am clueless. About three weeks ago the base of my head started to itch and nothing but a benadryl stops it. I really dont want to add to my dryness but i need to sleep at night. It isnt all the time ,but if i get in the sun or perspire it seems to activate it.
I've looked and the scalp is clear/any suggestions?

I cannot take Benadryl as it gives me the most painfully dry eyes ever.
On a daily basis I do get itchy raised areas that I think are hives they are always in the same places (my head) they come just about every evening to morning and go away on their own (I try not to itch them). Don't know what the cause is and I have wondered if anyone else with SS has anything like this. Hives are around the back of my ears but on my head not the ear and sometimes on the temple area (sides of my face). They usually fade throughout the day.
