What About For The Scalp?

My scalp is hyper-greasy with huge chunky flakes. The oil doesn't wash off and my hair is super dry. The hair in back is in clumps.

You can't moisturize greasy scalp. Can you tell me what to use please? Thank you

Itchy And Bone Dry Scalp

by Ivan Costa

I've dealt with "normal" dandruff off and on over the year, but last summer it morphed into full blow Seborrheic Dermatitis. I lost hair, had eczema patch-like scales along my hair line, with an itchy and bone dry scalp. It was awful. I changed my diet and eliminated all processed sugars, alcohol, simple carbs, caff. etc. It helped some esp. with the itching, but it didn't go far enough to manage the flakes and dry scalp and hair. My doctor prescribed Nizoral and it seemed to work some at first but destroyed my hair which is now wispy and dry. I then tried Zincplex and it worked well in terms of "flake management" but it is drying and I still need to use it daily. And my hair was still so dry it wouldn't hold conditioner or even oil treatments.

Out of desperation I've tried every remedy I could find and take everything and anything in terms of supplements, yoga, etc. Then I cam across your products. THANK YOU! The Herbal Shampoo Treatment and especially the Double Strength TheraCream are right now the best solution to manage this condition. And though I'm not rid of the flaking 100% yet, the dry - pulling scalp are a thing of the past. Most of my hair has grown back and more importantly, it feels "normal" again.

I have a process by which I wet my hair slightly and rub in your TheraCream onto my scalp and then comb through. I leave it on anywhere from a few hours to overnight. Next I wash my hair with your wonderful Herbal Shampoo Treatment, and WHA-LA, my hair feels wonderful and scalp is 90% plus free of flakes.

Scalp Psoriasis Or Dry Scalp???

by Geraldine Morin
(Munich)

Dear Nanette,

I am a 32 years old woman with (what I've been told by doctors for many years) scalp psoriasis. It started in winter when I was 10, a little dry spot at the back of my head. It used to go away in summer, but coming back every winter. Some years it was bigger, but never really itchy or bloody. Just dry skin and flaky. Never had anywhere else on my body.

I had tar shampoo, liquid hydrocortisone, and other psoriasis treatments. Sometimes it works for a while, most of the time I never saw a difference.

Since I moved in Europe, in a city with a lot of calcium in the water (lime) it is much worse, covering almost all my head, flaking, with this horrible tearing sensation. Now I'm using a shampoo for psoriasis with sulfur and other stuff that's drying my hair (I can see) and I guess my scalp. It doesn't work.

Going through your website makes me wonder... Maybe all those years, I was misdiagnosed and all psoriasis treatments got my dry scalp dryer.

I think I will stop using the psoriasis shampoo and follow your tips for dry scalp. I'll write you again to let you know.

Thanks for all this information.

Scalp Condition

by Keryn
(Los Angeles)

Hi,
First of all, thanks for this website. I am 29 years old and suffer dermatitis condition since I was 9. I live with lots of frustration and haven't realized that luckily I only have it in my scalp, sometimes I get some spots in my body but they just disappear...

My hair is curly and unmanageable by nature and adding to my condition it is very difficult to live with, I have thick layers of dandruff and have tried every product but those only help at the beginning and stop working after a while, it is like the illness gets used to it.

Please, if you know of a shampoo or cream that can help me I would love to try it, I've heard of quickrelief, but haven't tried yet.

Thank you.

Psoriasis On Scalp And Very Dry Papery Hands From Psoriasis

by Sharon
(Washington, Indiana)

I would just like to be able to wear dark colors but cannot due to an extreme case of scalp psoriasis. Also my hands are so dry and papery.

I have a severe back problem and received cortisone epidurals which give me relief and for some reason, also clear up my psoriasis, but I cannot have them very much because I am diabetic and you know cortisone is not good for me. Anyway, my scalp is so bad I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks, Sharon

My daughter is now 10 years old. She is suffering from dry scalp. For the past year. especially during winter, it is the worst and nothing is working on her scalp. I really carefully handle her

Dry, Itchy, Scalp With Patchy Hair Loss

by Y.K.
(Abuja )

Hello Nanette,

I have been suffering from crazy, dry, itchy scalp for several years now - right on the center of my scalp. I have used several shampoos, products, hair lotions, everything to stop the itch and subsequent hair-loss, but nothing seems to work.

The more it itches, the more I scratch and pull, and then the hair never grows in that spot. All other parts of my scalp are unaffected except that particular spot. I have read about several scalp conditions and can't seem to find what the problem is. Note that I don't really have flaky skin in that spot except on other parts of my hair/scalp.

p.s I have African-American hair. It's curly and cannot be washed every single day.

Please help. I'm desperate.

If this cream is used in conjunction with your shampoo for treatment of seborrheic dermatitis; is it a leave-in product or should it be rinsed out after a few minutes? Thank you.

ITCHY, DRY, SCALP AND PARTIAL HAIRLOSS

by Yinka
(Abuja )

Hello Nanette,

I have had a very itchy scalp for several years now. Just on the crown part of my scalp. I have tried everything from shampoos, to conditioners, to creams and treatments. Nothing seems to work to stop the itching which is driving me insane. Recently I've been using a DHT blocker scalp pomade, this has alleviated the itching, but it has not stopped completely and the patchy hair loss is still there.

My main concern is 1) in order to use your shampoo treatment, what is the frequency of usage that I can manage. I have African hair which I perm every 6 - 8 weeks. So it is not very possible for me to get my hair washed daily for the treatment. As my hair will dry out. I feel I have a two fold issue very oily scalp in the crown area but the rest of my scalp is normal/dry plus a dry hair.

What is the best way for me to handle the treatment. As i have read other user reviews and their successes. I'd like to sort out my scalp issue once and for all.

P.s the reason I can not wash my hair everyday is because it needs to conditioned and rolled professionally to sit properly to avoid it drying out.

Thank you

Horrible..SEVERE Dry Scalp!

by Alexanderia
(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!!!

Sodium Laurel Sulphate Reaction

by Jan K.

My name is Jan , I have a really bad itchy rash on my scalp and face. It appeared after I was prescribed antibiotics. When I checked the antibiotics I found they had Sodium Laurel Sulphate in them which is a detergent. I rang the doctor and she said it was probably used as a binder.....I was horrified! I am a beauty therapist and I have always had good skin.... never ever had a rash etc. I was then referred to a dermatologist who said I had seborrheic dermatitis. He prescribed ketoconarole shampoo which also had SLS in it so I asked the pharmacist for one without any chemicals in it. She gave me Ceanel which I have just picked up. This rash has been going on for months now as I had to wait for an appointment with the dermatologist. It has really got me down as the rash on my scalp and face is very itchy and red! What cream would you advise me to apply to my face? My hair was very tangled and matted and it got so bad I had to cut the matted bits out. When I looked up SLS the side affects were dry matted and tangled hair! I am a Candida sufferer which means I have to avoid yeast and sugar in my diet and in products as it feeds the yeast.

Red Irritation with Dry Crust on Top

by Christopher
(Columbus, Ohio)

Only when my hair grows a little thicker it breaks out in blotches of red irritation with white crust on top. I have to have my fiance scrape and grease it for relief. But the problem still persists. Mainly when my hair grows back to half of inch or more. Once I cut my hair and medicate with hydrocortisone 1% sometimes prescribed 2.5%.it seems to disappear. But once hair grows back to half inch the whole problem comes right back. Is there a better solution to this other than shaving my head and medicating it with hydrocortisone which works temporary, there has to be a better solution? It's painful, but if I don't scrape and grease while hair is grown thicker it seems to just be itchy, red, and the dry skin which seems to appear like chunks of dry snake skin that peels which leaves it red under the dry skin. Any better solutions? This happens even when its humid out, in fact its worst on humid days. Does anybody know some better solutions because it's beyond "head and shoulders."

Thank You, Christopher Dyer

Psoriasis

by Colleen
(Florida)

I have been diagnosed with psoriasis finally! I had to have 3 areas taken from my left buttock and hip area and sent out for testing. I have had this problem for years and have seen several Dermatologists. Of course they write out prescriptions for lotions, creams, gels, shampoos, and it is all useless and a waste of money! I am a nurse and I knew it was psoriosis or eczema! So now that I have a true diagnosis I still get the same problems. It is seriously driving me nuts!! I am 54 years old and have several health issues and one of the major issues are the blood pressure medications that dry out my skin as well but I can't stop those medications and I am tired of spending hundreds of dollars on junk that dose not work. I saw your website about your products and more than anything in this world, I would love to find something for my scalp and hair follicles. So I ask for your opinion as to what would work for my scalp to start with. Thanks, Colleen.
