Answers:
Hello. You said it has lasted three weeks so far, so my first question to you is have you recently switched shampoos/conditioner.? Even body soaps perhaps.? A man below said something about warm olive oil. This is a good idea. Adding rosemary to the olive oil will also have great effects. It will both clean your scalp and supplement it. A few years back I started getting the same thing when I moved to Florida. I thought the sunlight had burned my scalp or something and I started using Paul Mitchel's Tea Tree Shampoo and conditioner. The idea was to cut away the dandruff. Then I realized it wasn't dandruff. It was much larger and flakier. I tried everything, all kinds of herbs and milks and even Tsal and Tgel. Nothing worked. I started to think it was psoriasis on my scalp. What did help was taking the juice from a lemon and mixing it with water and my conditioner in the shower and massaging it in. However, that only lasted for a short period until it flaked up again. Then I got something called Nizoral. It is a shampoo, usually in a blue bottle. It isn't expensive, and you can find it at places like walmart. Immediately I saw the difference. It wiped out the flakes, regenerated my scalp, shined up my hair, and I could feel each individual space between hair follicles it was so clean. You need to use it daily until the bottle is gone. My mother, a doctor, told me to keep using it forever to prevent it from coming back but it has been two years and so far not a problem at all :) Good luck! Honestly, I think if that does not work, you should see a dermatologist. I really think you should try Nizoral first though. -CharlieHealth Question & Answer
