Abstract Scalp dysesthesia may be underrecognized but is an important condition which requires special management strategies. Through our case series of four patients, we have noted that patients were frequently misdiagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis and failed standard treatment. However, patients did benefit from low doses of oral pregabalin and a topical compound of amitriptyline, lidocaine and ketamine. Oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroids did not work sufficiently on their own but added value when used in conjunction with analgesic agents. Our experience and published work also suggest the association of cervical spinal changes, psychiatric disorders, and other environmental and habitual factors.
