In btwn my salon visits I don't p ut any grease or oil on my scalp bc I hate the way it makes my hair feel heavy. However, my scalp is really dry...very flaky and if u look at it...it seems like my scalp is scaled over!

Avatar n tn Hi, Too much of manipulation of the hair can lead to what is called traction alopecia.Traction alopecia is a form of alopecia, or gradual hair loss, caused primarily by pulling force being applied to the hair. The use of thermal or chemical hair straightening, and hair braiding or weaving are examples of styling techniques that place African American women at high risk for various "traumatic" alopecias.

She also have numerous birthmarks over her body she have on on her back that break out in a sore once and become larger after. Can the these both be cancerous. I know of an American solider that had a birthmarks on his buttock and was sore once and later died of Melanoma resulting from this birthmark.

Avatar m tn I have had these outbreaks of dark spots near my front hair line that turn grey-ish when i get in the shower or sweat. I went to a dermatologist and he said it was seborrheic dermatitis and gave me some desonide and a Znp bar back in February 09. The Desonide seemed to work but it began to discolor my skin "Im African American" so i use it sparingly.

Avatar f tn Hello, I am a 19 y/o, African American, woman. This summer my sister noticed a had a small bald spot when I took my weave out. It was really small though. I thought that I might have cut out a piece of hair off when I was taking out the thread used to attach the extensions. Maybe a month later, I used a relaxer on the nape area. I might have left it on too long. But long story short... I put a bold spot into my head. Will it grow back with treatment? Help!!

Avatar f tn Hi there, I started shaving my vagina area at a young age and I've gotteb ingrown hairs and razor bumps from it. But I didn't care much about it back then, but now at 18 I still have some scars. I don't shave there anymore in fear of getting more razor bumps. But how could I get rid or even fade some of the marks? They're really embarrassing now since I want to wear bikinis and now that I have a boyfriend.
Avatar m tn My daughter has same experience. I have been dealing with her scalp since she was a baby. Long ago I noticed a few brown spots behind her ear like a few light brown spots. I panic at first show her dad he says hmm that is nothing maybe a birth mark don't worry. I'm wow I don't know but, he won she said mom I always had this and it doesn't bother me. She is now 10 and I can't tell you exactly when I noticed but, it was some years ago.
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.
363243 tn?1331033850 Hello all, coco in particular! I have been struggling with excessive hair all over my body for years (since I was 13), I'm African American and all of my friends used to make fun of me for it because they were always so smooth. As a younger girl I tried to get rid of the hair by shaving and plucking but it scarred me so horribly...so now I have to deal with the hair and the scars...especially since I'm much lighter, the scars are very visible. I can't even wear a bathing suit.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm African American and I've been braiding my hair since I found out I was pregnant 17 weeks ago tomorrow, I was wondering do I continue to go chemical free or can I get my hair done at some point. When is it possible or can the chemicals use hurt the baby through out the pregnancy. What are your thoughts ladies?
Avatar n tn For the last 10 years I have had a problem with my scalp. It started out of the blue, my scalp became very itchy and I could not help scratching it, when I scratched it, what appeared to be white flakes of skin came off. I thought this was just normal dandruff so bought Anti-dandruff shampoo (over the years I have tried every Anti-dandruff shampoo you can think of, even stuff from my GP).
9562964 tn?1416928231 You get a 3 part system. Nioxin cleanser , scalp revitaliser ( conditioner) and scalp treatment. It is designed for thinning hair but would help your dandruff aswell. It will unblock blocked follicles to aid hair growth and also make the hair you have look thicker and stronger.
Avatar n tn t anything visible except dandruff, so is my hair loss without scalp disease? My father has dandruff too but not hair loss. so, is my hair loss associated with tinea? Once I did take pills suggested by a dermatologist but that did not really help.
