Head lice, also called pediculosis capitis, can cause intense itching behind the ears and on the scalp. Head lice are extremely contagious. Other conditions exist that may cause itching behind the ears. Consult your doctor for a clear diagnosis.
In the United States, it is believed that about 6 to 12 million children between 3 and 12 years of age get head lice each year. Head lice are not known to spread disease, but having head lice can make your scalp extremely itchy. If you scratch a lot, it can cause sores on the scalp that may lead to an infection. Some people lose sleep because the itch is so intense. Treatment, which most people can do at home, usually gets rid of head lice.
