Hi there,

I find that I have this problem too. It can be very irritating, but I have found that switching shampoos and conditioners to all natural brands has helped enormously. I use Lush products.

Like you, my hairdresser mentioned it and she has the same problem too. I don't know if it's the steroids, or something 'eczema-ry' as I understand there is a link between the two.

Lush here I come!

Thanks for replying. Any excuse to visit Lush. xx
