      The solution for my eczema is strong steroid cream but my doctor refused to prescribe it to me last time I had an appointment. I had eczema all over my body, including the scalp but he didn’t suggest anything for my scalp, only a moisturizing cream for my body that I know will makes it sting more and make me itch like crazy but he didn’t care when I told him.

    • @athenazz81
      @athenazz81 Před 7 měsíci

      ​@@88marome Get a new doctor, sadly using steroids constantly can cause more harm... Definitely request a referral to a dermatologist for other remedies like oral meds or dupixent.
      I have severe chronic eczema all over my body not one part isn't affected. My derm prescribed the highest dose of dupixent which I inject every 2 weeks.
      Before dupixent I got dependent on steroid creams which then caused me to go through TSW.. It was a living hell

    I have dry, naturally curly hair with a dry scalp. I find that the fewer products I use on my scalp, the better. More products or heavy styling products tend to cause a buildup that eventually starts flaking or lifting which causes more itching. :-( I don't apply any styling products on my roots, in fact I keep them at least 2 inches down the hair shaft to prevent this issue. I also sleep on satin pillow cases which prevents a lot of frizz but a nice side effect is less itchiness on my scalp, I think due to less friction applied to my head while sleeping. :-) Thanks again for another captivating video Dr. Dray! Happy Friday! :)

I previously used Neutrogena T/Gel, I actually tried one wash since using the Vanicream and it made my scalp red and inflamed. I just re-read the ingredients for T/Gel and it does have Fragrance, I'm thinking that may be the cause. The Vanicream seems to be the cure! Thank you and love you and your videos!

    I like to take a gentle clarifying shampoo (sulfate, fragrance free, I like the MoroccanOil brand one) and dilute it into a bottle of water with a long thin applicator (most beauty supply stores have them for like a buck) shake it up, and squirt it directly to different localised areas on my scalp to get more precise, even coverage, and to help me scrub less to get my whole scalp, plus i rinse it out more quickly.

    I get acne on my scalp when I really stressed out, but I rarely get acne on my face. It's mainly on my sideburn area, below the area behind my ears, the top of my head, and then spread out all around. I can't stop picking at it, it's so painful!!! :"( I dont think it's eczema since it's not itchy, per say, but it's lumpy and pus comes out when I scratch them open :"(

    I got really bad scalp for years due to dandruff and dermatitis, it's really extremely irritating that I scratch my head til it bleed, in those years, I always blamed the shampoos and thought to myself that I need to wash my hair more. Unfortunately, the problems never went away, so one day, I found out that salt has a property that will suck the water out of the bacteria and it could prevent fungus from growing. So every time I take a bath, I always use a mixture of salt ( about 3 tbs / 1 tbsp of water ) as my shampoo, and i just rub them for 10 mins, then I wait for another 20 mins , then I wash my hair with clean water, while I was waiting, I could feel the salt was doing its job, I felt like there were like hundreds of fire ants biting my scalp, but after that, I felt great, the itchiness subsides significantly, and now I barely have dandruff.

    I have struggled with this my whole life. Several years ago I tried the Wen line of shampoo & conditioning products. They have up to 15 - 20 essentially oil fragrances in each product. What a terrible disaster! My scalp was oozing, inflamed, peeling, rashy & I developed secondary infection. Omg! I still struggle with flakes. I do have a dermatology appt coming up. However I value these videos so much. I'm getting the vani shampoo today. Truly I could rip my whole scalp off some days. It's itchy & painful. Thanks Dr Dray.

    I'd never go to a Dr for this. Dermatologists know very little about skin disorders. However, they know a lot about pre$cription$ that does no good. Skin conditions are mostly internal or autoimmune disorders. Treat what goes into your body which will treat what appears on the outside. Shampoos do have a lot of junk in them.

    Honestly you would have had a field day with the Hema UK serum I saw earlier: it said it was not perfumed. Despite containing at least 5 scent-only essential oils, and literally containing PARFUM.
    That aside, I don't have eczema but I do have scalp psoriasis and the only thing that particularly helps me is Polytar shampoo. Other than that I've mostly given up, although ginger or oat shampoos (NOT the Aveeno baby head-to-toe though! That was helllll) tend to be a reasonable bet. Mostly though I just use my Polytar as directed, and just use something which at least doesn't worsen things on the non-tar days so I can at least enjoy smelling nice. I do also make my own as well as having some store-bought ones, and my current favourite is a coffee mocha shampoo featuring coconut oil as a mild surfactant and descaling ingredient, which smells A+ and works pretty damned well!

Saw 2 dermatologists, tried various prescribed items. Nothing seemed to help. After watching Dr. Dray’s videos, I have been alternating Nizoral shampoo with Free & Clear shampoo. Has seemed to help tremendously. Not gone, but more manageable and sores are gone. My derm says alternating is something they often suggest.
