Hello All,
I have a strange question / issue and was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or advice.
I am a fairly seasoned diver and do a couple of dive trips a year. I just got back from Bonaire, but had an unusual experience while there.
I would get about 10-15 minutes into a dive and all of sudden I would develop an extremely itchy scalp. Almost like a rash -- it would preoccupy me on the dive once it set in.
Once I got out of the water it would stop after about 1 or 2 minutes. There was no redness or swelling or other indication of problem. I do not have dandruff or any other type of hair or scalp problem and do not have any issues on dry land or experienced this before.
It happened on multiple dive sites, different depths, multiple days.
Anyone experienced or heard of this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks
