Hi

I’ve got seborrheic dermatitis which can give me a very itchy scalp. There are a few things you can try to alleviate this. I only use Head and Shoulders shampoo occasionally as it’s very drying.

It’s possible that it’s linked to histamine intolerance, so you might want to have a look into that.

Could it be lichen planus?

I have Dermatitis and Coeliac. I have it on my scalp. Also, have it on my back and legs. I am taking antihistamines and using steroid cream, but I still get a lot of bother with it.

I went to a dermatologist for dry scalp/hair & they recommended putting a little (drops) of argan oil on your scalp after washing your hair. That advice did not come cheap to me!

Did the Argon oil help Clarrisa ?

My hair lost it’s frizziness over time & the overall condition of my scalp has much improved. However I had made many other changes as well; For instance my B-2 level tested low so I started a supplement. I also began shopping for fresher groceries at a somewhat more expensive market, & using a more expensive shampoo (which the dermatologist did not seem to deem necessary). Additionally, I purchased specific foods for their nutrient content to increase magnesium & copper (which I had later tested low on), so who is to say.

I have been loosing more hair, but I think that is because I have adjusted my thyroid medication over this time period too. My dentist found the condition of my gums had improved so much so she wanted to know what I was doing differently. I am in a yearly memory study & marked improvement there too.

Sometimes it seems you can’t win. I am working on hair loss this coming year!
