Avatar m tn However, I would speak to your medical team about the itchiness which could possibly be liver-related. The tx itself may make your skin drier; up your water intake especially during tx and transfer to a natural shampoo with no harsh chemicals. Speak to your nurse about the problems you're having... Good luck.

Avatar f tn I have started using some maleluca oil to help but it is so annoying and gross! I dont always have time to shower everyday because of having 2 and 1 year old and a busy schedule and it has never been an issue...now I feel icky if I dont have one every day.
2078979 tn?1332206668 Its called t-gel (tge shampoo that looks darkish brown) it does work good, or try denorex extra strength (it doestnt burn like selsom blue, it just has a sligjt cool minty tingle. Ive and what I thought was dadruff most of my life but I found out that dandruff is actually a scalp condition that is caused by a natural bacteria that grows on ur scalp and u can use oils like tea tree, and eucaliptus to kill it and calm/get rid of dadruff. But u could just have dry scalp which is different.
Avatar f tn ) I was raised on a farm drinking well water and continue to this very day to drink un-filtered well water. The balance and health of "our" particular water (where I live) is perfect; so, I get all the wonderful benefits of good minerals, etc. that go with the purpose of drinking water. We have a very good, safe and deep well. I've never had any safety issues with our well water.
Avatar f tn Yes, well water is safe and great! You really shouldn't be concerned, but if you are, and to be safe, there are test kits so you can check for its purity. That's sounds so cool. Oh what I could do on 30 acres......sounds like an awesome move.....But, I don't sense you seem as happy as I am for you.......lol. Good luck, and Enjoy the well water !! luv, Nauty..............
Avatar n tn If so, you might research dermatologists and find one with schooling at a well-respected school and plenty of experience and see if that person concurs with the previous two. You might even request a biopsy (rarely done) to try to eliminate other possible causes and to try to learn what type of psoriasis you have. Here is an article which lists treatments for psoriasis: http://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar n tn Bird mites have to be treated with a bug bomb and the bird or rodent nest removed. Pet mites(or walking dandruff) look like tiny white dandruff that moves. This is treated with a strong flea/mite shampoo weekly for 4 weeks plus the carpet/upholstery must be treated with a flea carpet spray weekly for 4 weeks.
Avatar n tn i am an 18 yr boy. i have a lot of dandruff and pimples on my face, neck and arms. I sleep atleast 14 hours in a day, drink a lot of water.
Avatar m tn More often than not, the hair will have that white bulb on the end of it – my eyebrows have a similar problem as well. I plan on seeing a dermatologist, and possibly and endocrinologist, soon, but until then, if anyone has any ideas as to what the problem might be I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
Avatar n tn s lost the 3 extra pounds he was carrying and his muscle tone looks wonderful. And as I said, his coat actually looks really nice and shiny. But he still has dandruff, and some days it's only a few flakes, but some days it's really, really bad! He NEVER scratches. I'm home with him all day, and he doesn't scratch or bite at himself or seem the least bit uncomfortable, and his energy levels seem normal as well. His skin doesn't seem dry, which seems weird.
Avatar n tn My hairdresser told me that dandruff shampoo was making my flakes much worse. I switched to Neutrogena moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and my scalp has been salvaged as well as my hair. I still occasionally have flakes but they are few an far between.
Avatar n tn Im 13 (going to be 14 in 2months if that makes any sense) and im having dandruff for almost a year. I have tryed a lot of shampoos that say im going to get rid of dandruff but that doesnt help. Before it was a lot more ,i think now its a little bit less but still there. I really hate that. Does anybody now some good ways how to get rid of dandruff ??
Avatar m tn The itching started on his back and legs and progressed to his arms and now his hands when he washes the dishes. He itches if he is caught in the rain, when he steps out of the bath and had a terrible reaction after being in the pool for about and hour and stepped out of it. I've noticed sometimes he gets a lot of dandruff in his hair and has very dry skin.
Avatar n tn she is old and beautiful and sweet but she seems to have a bit of dandruff. does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it?
Avatar m tn depends. Vitamin D level can cause you all types of issues. There is research that items like dermatitis might be the lack of Vitamin K2 or K in your body as well. I would check K, D ,Calcium, and Magnesium levels or get a Dr to do it. Also, with scalp dermatitis it can be caused by dandruff Dandruff is caused by 3 types of fungus, so if you only use one type of shampoo it will never go away. I think using Cesium Blue, Head and shoulder and another...
548408 tn?1214692039 My rabbit got maggots when she got poop stuck to her. The vet told us to wash he in salt water and then dry her well. We did this and she died during the night. Im not suggesting this because she died. She could have died cuz she wasnt dried enough and got too cold, the salt water affected her, or if it was cuz of the maggots but it might help. I bath my bunny i have now with a soft baby soap and warm water then towel dry her hand put her near the fire place.
Avatar n tn then i started to develop light dandruff (white, very little grains) and seem not to manage to get it under control with normal dandruff shampoos etc. while googling dandruff i read that dandruff (but i assume heavy) can be a sign of hiv infection. then i started reading about scary high aids rates in portugal. especially as most new infections here come from hetero sexual encounters.
Avatar f tn I never had dandruff problems before pregnancy, but once I entered my 2nd trimester my scalp is dry and I have lots of dandruff. Anybody else have this problem and a solution? Does it go away after the baby is born?
Avatar n tn You can also take vit B6 and vit A and E which are good for hair and skin. Try medicated shampoos for dandruff. There are a number of over-the-counter shampoos available that can help. The most effective ingredients -- antimicrobials -- to look for are zinc pyridinethione, selenium sulfide, sulfur and ketoconazole (also available by prescription). If your hair is colored, don't use products with selenium sulfide or sulfur.Also check out the above causes of dandruff.
1351676 tn?1301339436 Dandruff is common in cats of many coat colors, but very noticeable in black cats. My now deceased black longhair had dandruff at times, and I treated that with brushing/combing, which he was thrilled with, and a high-quality diet, which he was less thrilled with. A bit of flax oil on his food seemed to help, as did a "pet shampoo spray" I found in a pet store, which moisturized his fur and skin without the hassle of giving him a bath.
