Itching at the back of my head.
The back of my neck is constantly itching. It is flaky, red and hurts/stings. Most of the time the itching is so strong that I scratch myself with nails and then it bleeds. It happens in humid climate and due to sweat at that area. This is only at the end of my hairline at the back of my neck. Even if it dries and heals I scratch it again and then it starts all over again.
