I have Psoriasis and have used most of the OTC products for itchy scalp in the past. I now rely primarily on prescription meds, but can recommend the products that have helped me along the way. TSal is better than TGel - the active ingredient is Salicylic acid. Scalpicin is a solution which also contains Salicylic acid. I also use an oil at night called Derma Smoothe - I can't remember if it's OTC or not ... It doesn't make you pretty but it feels sooooooo good! Also, I alternate my Rx shampoo with a zinc shampoo.
Is your home dry? I've had a problem with that this winter. A humidifier might help... I've been using a big kettle on my stove and I notice a big difference in overall itching. Good luck with it!

Try TGel, it has a creosote base. Worked wonders for me.
