Reasons to scratch one's head, say (6)

I believe the answer is:

itches

(Other definitions for itches that I've seen before include "Feels tingling sensation in skin" , "They need to be scratched" , "They're in need of a scratch" , "Ethics (anag)" , "Has uncomfortable tingling sensation" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
