Dandruff And Severe Itching

by Peter Van

I have a similar problem to those who have commented above. I have had dandruff for a while that has steadily gotten worse at age 23. I tried multiple shampoos. I thought I had finally gotten rid of most of it with a combination of Head & Shoulders, and some other kind I can't remember in a blue bottle. But now I'm getting severe itch attacks when outside, which is frequent when working, especially when starting to sweat. It lasts about 5-10 minutes and usually starts to calm down but it seems it might be spreading a bit to my face other areas when the itch is on.

Response To Dandruff And Severe Itching
by: Nanette From Skin-Remedies.com

Hello Peter,
One of the goals of our website is to provide extensive information on how to care for the skin, scalp and body as a whole - naturally". I am very big on folks becoming "label readers" so that they can know what harmful chemicals in everyday products can do to hurt their body.

These are the ingredients in the Head & Shoulders product you have been using. Pyrithione zinc 1%, water, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamide MEA, zinc carbonate, glycol distearate, dimethicone, fragrance, cetyl alcohol, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sodium benzoate, magnesium carbonate hydroxide, ammonium laureth sulfate, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, sodium xylenesulfonate, blue 1, red 4

Sodium lauryl sulfate is used because it is an inexpensive detergent and has cancer causing properties. Benzyl alcohol is used as a general solvent for inks, paints, lacquers, and epoxy resin coatings. If you see the word "fragrance" on the ingredient list it means synthetic ingredients that can cause allergic reactions. Anything with dyes in it, such as the blue and red dyes contained in this product will be toxic to your body.
The big ingredient I want to draw your attention to is zinc pyrithione which is used in outdoor paints and other products such as household sponges and in its industrial forms and strengths, it may be harmful by contact or ingestion. Recent research suggests that zinc pyrithione is a potent heat shock response inducer that may cause DNA damage and PARP-dependent energy crisis in cultured human keratinocytes and melanocytes.

The heat shock pathway is a biochemical mechanism found in almost all cells and all organisms and scientists believe it helps cells deal with stressors -- including excessive heat or chemical toxins. The severe itching you are experiencing when you sweat and your body heats up may very well be your body's response mechanism to the chemicals in this product. Further, as we wash our hair, keep in mind that the soapy suds flow down our face as we wash and then rinse our heads, hence the reaction to your face becoming itchy as well.

I strongly recommend using our DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM combined with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT as these provide a natural, health building powerful remedy for your scalp condition. Apply the cream at night on the areas of the scalp directly affected and in the morning wash with the shampoo. These two products work by starting from the bottom of the scalp tissue on up....7 layers deep thus repairing the scalp thoroughly and restoring it with health and balance again. They will provide anti itch, anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties. Once your scalp condition is gone, simply continue using the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT whenever you wash your hair to keep the scalp healthy with the proper PH balance.
Please keep me posted on your progress Peter.
Warm Regards,
Nanette
