Scratching My Scalp Twice A Week: Good, Bad Or Indifferent?

[FrankieNYC]

Even though I’ve tried nizoral, Medicated shampoos, etc my scalp still itches on occasion. I give my scalp a nice scratch with my fingernails or brush 2x a week. Close to 50-75 (estimate) hairs fall out in the process.
Any long term damage in doing this? Does it even help with scalp blood circulation?

I would say indifferent. Scratching wont cause permanent hair loss. You might have psoriasis and need to find a good shampoo.
