to be small and now grew bigger and im

I wouldn't worry too much. I have the
same problem, and have my entire life. I
used to use prescription shampoos to try
to get rid of the scales, but it didn't
work, so I gave up. I have decided to
just deal with it. My head itches a lot
because of it, and I have a lot of
problems with people (especially nurses
when I was in school) thinking I have
headlice. I haven't had any problems with
it coming out onto my face, although if I
don't wash my face enough my eyebrows will
start to get dandruff-looking flakes in
them.
Hope that helps.

Thank you that relly helped but it really
didn't come on to your face or
anything.....Did it cover your whole scalp
....... Yes I tried a lot pf
prescription.... Shampoo's topical
solutions ... It works at the moment and
1 hr later when your head dries up its
back. Yes I actually gave up on trying to
treat it and is still trying to learn how
to face it ... As long as its no there
for everybody to see its all good your
reply had made me feel a lot better
because I never knew anyone with this
problem , I myself have never heard about
dermatitis or psoriasis till this
situation has occured! Thanks
mon.

Yes, it covers my whole scalp, but it has
never gone past my hairline. I recently
got a really short haircut, which makes it
more noticeable, but I decided not to
worry about what people think. If someone
mentions that there is white stuff on the
back of my head, I just smile and say I
must have used too much hair gel;)
it does go into my ears sometimes tho.
Not like all the way down into them, but
around the top, where the skin folds over,
I get scaly spots. The doctor said that
if I keep that area dry it would go away,
but of course it didn't. I just try not
to pick at anything, cause that causes me
to bleed.
I'm glad that I could help you:d

Make sure you don't take too hot of
showers, the hotter the water the more it
dries and irritates your skalp. In fact
baths are easier on your skin in general.
My bf has psoriasis on his scalp and he
always uses dandruff shamp. It helps a
little. They do have those surface shots
now (topical sstuff is nearly impossible
to get under your hair-i know cuz i've had
eczema on my scalp b4). You should ask
your doc. About the new shots.

What Is This Scalp Thing Posted: 01-03-05 13:58pm
I have this also. It drives me nuts.
When I was at the skin doctor, he told me
that it was keratosis of the scalp.
Your right becklyn, for saying not to take
too hot of shower's. I break right out.
I also break out with red blouches all of
my face and very dry after an hour or so.
The hard crusty stuff does not go to my
face, just red blouches all over it.
It is very hard to get use too having
this. If you keep your hair washed and
don't let it get greesy at all,,,,,,it
does clear up a bit.
The eyebrow thing,,,,,yes I get that
too,,,,,my whole face get's dry and
cracky.........But mainly around my scalp
area.......Keep your face washed and keep
the oil away.
Have a great day

Flacky Sclap Posted: 11-22-05 06:42am
I read your articles about dry scalp which
i've had for years and thought there was
some light when I saw a web site address
ref a program d/load. However this site
seems to have moved or shut down, can
anyone tell me what the program contained
please.
I'm so ashamed with how dry my skin is
that anytime someone walks near me I think
they must think i'm unclean. If I wash
what little hair I have I know it's only a
matter of minutes before I can feel my
skin drying out and leaving clumps of dry
skin, this also happens if I get caught
out in the rain and if i'm away from home
at work I know what's going to happen.
My doctor said "yes dry skin" and gave me
the normal coldtar shampoo which made it
worse not better. I was then told that
people have this condition all their life,
well i'm fed. Someone please help me
thanks

Buy vitamin e in the capsules, 400 iu snip
the tips off several of them and mix them
with a small amount of blue star ointment
and vasaline (petroleum jelly). This is
thick and smelly but massage this
concoction directly onto your scalp.
Try using it when you can leave it in a
while maybe overnight and part of the day.
The thing is to oil your scalp and stop
it from being dry. Most african americans
already do this and really don't have
dandruff or scalp issues. I am 50/50
b&w but my daughter had this problem.
Her scalp would ooze and then turn into a
hard cap. I discovered that when I used
this combination the condition cleared up
and now she hardly ever has a
re-occurrence at 27. Vicks can be used in
place of the blue star. It is great for
killing ring worms too. Be sure to get
the e capsules. The stuff in the bottles
doesn't work. Good luck

Also for your body parts like arms and
legs just rub the oil from the vitamin e
capsules all over. You should see
improvement within a week. You will peel
and then get fresh skin. When the problem
re- occurs or even before use this again.
To stop acne break outs use only soap that
is french milled or english, these are
usually made form vegatable/plant fat
never use anything that contains animal
fat. I find the best, cheapest and easy
to find are the "yardley" brand. Find one
scent you like and stick to it for your
entire body especially for your face.
Regular soap should never touch your face
and most of the acne products in the store
is formulated to keep you coming back for
more so although you see some improvement
you still experience breakouts. After
using the same soap for aboout two weeks
your body will get used to it and your
skin will clear up. For those who have
other problems like dry skin please
remember to use the e capsules because the
soap, although wonderful is going to leave
you dry.

Dry Skin Posted: 12-16-06 09:46am
After years of suffering from very dry
head skin which nothing has helped i've
found some relief is using a product
called "skin so soft" made by avon.
Intially when applied one feels a slight
burning sensation which is harmless and
goes very quickly. Give it a go, it may
help you!
