Dear zuzu8
Thank you so much for this info. The dermatologist does not know what it is, however, did just recently prescribe low dose of elavil, which, from what I can gather so far from the net is the treatment of choice for scalp dyesesthesia. It appears the University of Connecticut dermatology department has decided this is a psychological disorder, something I am not willing to buy at this point. I will pursue getting her to a good neurologist and will keep you posted on hopefully her progress. Thank you again, I had not heard of scalp dyesesthesia before.
