Horrible..SEVERE Dry Scalp!

(Fort Hood, TX)

My name is Alex,

I'm 20 years old and recently within the past year after I went home on leave with my husband to Long Island, started getting a dry flaky scalp. I thought "OH"! No problem - I'm in the cold, and I've been living in Texas for 1 year so I'll just start using Head and Shoulders. WRONG! It has gotten SO bad that I've wasted my time waiting for useless prescriptions, money on at least 1,000 dollars worth of hair crap (no lie) oh, and my SANITY because I feel ugly and disgusting with this mess all over my head. I have dark hair, so it's worse because everyone points it out. I also have psoriasis, however it's very, very mild and I've never had an outbreak from it just a tiny patch on my elbow that I don't bother with anymore. So naturally I'm not associating that with what's on my head. It is HORRIBLE!!! It's reaching further down my ears, behind them and all over my scalp it's red and itchy and just mass amounts of flakes everywhere. It's embarrassing, every time I sweep my bathroom floor its just a huge pile of dry skin. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hello Alex,

From what you describe it sounds like you are suffering from Seborrhea or Seborrheic Dermatitis as it is also called, which is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin and is characterized by intermittent, active phases that manifest with burning, scaling, and itching, alternating with inactive periods. Activity is usually increased in the winter and early spring.

Although the exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown, there are a number of possible causes. These include: stress, fatigue, weather extremes, oily skin, infrequent shampoos or skin cleaning, use of shampoos that contain alcohol and other toxic hair products, skin disorders (such as acne), neurologic conditions, appears to run in families and have a genetic origin, as well as thought to be due to a combination of an over production of skin oil and irritation from a yeast called malessizia.

You mentioned using a myriad of products and prescriptions for your condition, all of which have not worked. This doesn't surprise me as most of these contain harsh chemicals that are actually toxic to the body and produce dangerous side effects.

To bring your scalp back to a healthy balance, I strongly recommend the following. At night before bedtime, rub in our specially formulated therapeutic DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the scalp. This double strength formula is all natural and penetrates the thicker skin of the scalp deeper and faster. It has anti fungal and anti bacterial properties and further alleviates any associated itching from dry scalp. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue.

Next, when you wash your hair and scalp use our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which is hypo-allergenic and filled with nutrients. These 2 products, together, will unpack dry damaged cells to the deepest part of the scalp and restore much needed moisture and assist your scalp in regaining a healthy balance once again as well as restore its proper PH.

Once your scalp condition is repaired you need only use the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT to keep your scalp healthy and problem free.

Please keep me posted on your progress Alex.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
