Avatar m tn Topical Terbinafine cream did not help doctor is treating with Ketoconazole 2% shampoo and topical Clindamycin 1%. I may be noticing a 10% increase in my normal gray follicles at two weeks treatment. I would love to send a picture.
Avatar n tn Topical terbinafine solution (1%) has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of scalp seborrhoea,as may lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or corticosteroids (such as fluocinolone acetonide). Pimecrolimus topical lotion is also sometimes prescribed. It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for the symptoms and a proper clinical examination if the symptoms persist. Let us know if you need any other information and post us on how you are doing. Regards.
Avatar n tn All my life I've been told that I have thick hair. I'm 21, Asian, male; for the past few years I've been noticing that I have thinner hair on the right side of my scalp. When I run my hand gently through my hair I notice that hair falls out WAY easier than the left side of my head. I'm not shedding clumps of hair, it's just my right side of the scalp sheds more in comparison to the left. Is this something normal? I've been stressing about this a lot!

Avatar n tn Hi This may be a fungal infection with an overlying bacterial infection. Culture of the discharge and culture of the of skin scrapings from the scalp may help ascertain the diagnosis. Hair loss is due to scalp conditions like tinea capitis, discoid lupus and seborrheic dermatitis. You may need oral antifungals or antibiotics for this. Treating the underlying scalp condition will help revert the hair loss.
Avatar f tn My question is simple: How can I get rid of it!?!?!?!? I spoke with two derms. in my local area who told me I couldn't get rid of it & the only option was to learn to deal with it. It covers my scalp (only). It itches, peals, bleeds, runs, and is terribly sore! I can't sleep comfortably at night & have resorted to Advil PM's to sleep, which surpisingly gets rid of the headaches that I get when my scalp becomes really irritated.
Avatar n tn Since a year now, my hair has been falling alot and my scalp hurts very often. I dont know what is causing this. I'm not under any medication and take multivitamin tablets everyday. The scalp pain is unbearable....so much so that i have to put an ice pack sometimes to numb the pain. Would appreciate any help. thanks This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/311250'>Bad Scalp Problem</a>.
Avatar m tn If he has tinea capitis or ring worm of the scalp, he needs oral anti-fungal medicine like Griseofulvin or Terbinafine. My son is dealing with this same problem, and from what I've read and heard from his doctor topical medications don't penetrate the hair follicle to kill the fungus. The selenium sulfide (2.5%) shampoo didn't do much either. Also, don't the use of steroids cause tinea incognito?
Avatar m tn For severe disease, keratolytics such as salicylic acid or coal tar preparations may be used to remove dense scale. Topical terbinafine solution (1%) has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of scalp seborrhoea,as may lotions containing alpha hydroxy acids or corticosteroids (such as fluocinolone acetonide). Pimecrolimus topical lotion is also sometimes prescribed.

Avatar n tn Broad spectrum antibiotics (3 months; folliculitis suspected, later ruled out), nizoral pills (3 weeks), fluconazole (50mg/day for 5 weeks), itraconazole (200mg/day for 9 weeks) -probably forgot something... 6) Outcome of treatment: Very characteristically (and contrary to the promises) my SD is not controllable at all (not even by adrenal cortical hormones), and I can find no correlation between medication (of any kind) and my symptoms. They are consistent and annoying!
Avatar n tn The treatment options include - Topical antifungal agents such as terbinafine 1% cream (Lamasil) applied twice daily until symptoms resolve (usually 1-2 weeks). Terbinifine is not recommended for children < 2 years old or anyone with impaired hepatic function. Systemically with oral medications, especially for scalp ring worm, or infection of the finger nails or toe nails. Call your doctor if: * Ringworm infects your scalp or beard.
687194 tn?1244811182 I have a very very itchy and flaky scalp. I have tried all the OTC remedies, Sea Breeze and Tea Tree Oil. It is driving me crazy. I wake up in the middle of the night sratching my head. I do not have this problem anywhere else on my body except the scalp. I have to constantly wipe my clothing off. I color my hair but have for years. I have not changed my shampoo or hair products at all. Can someone tell me about a remedy that will help...I will try just about anything!
Avatar f tn I also notice that I am itchy in certain parts of my body frequently (My lower back, insides of knees) I also tend to get pimples on my scalp frequently. I am 28 years old and keep good hygiene. Could this be a fungus, or maybe eczema, or maybe they are unrelated? The specks in my hands are very scratchy.
Avatar n tn Around 2 or 3 weeks ago I began using head and shoulders and massaging my scalp while i wash in hopes to get ride of it but i have seen little improvement. These scaly areas are kinda think and if i pick them off they regrow quickly. Also behind my right ear are smaller scaly areas and where my earlobe connects to my face there is a wound that does not heal, it just scales up and if i pick it off it becomes oily and sometimes bleeds.

Avatar n tn My scalp is always dry and flaky, as well as my face, especially around my eyebrows, forehead, and hairline. I have tried everything in the book-steroid foams, creams, lotions, shampoos, salicylic acid, sulfur, you name it. I cannot even put on my makeup without first slathering cream and aquaphor ointment on my face. I get microdermabrasion once every two weeks, and have even had UV light therapy.
Avatar m tn Hi there so as of last year on my natal cleft i saw a blister that formed on both sides, and after about a week there was a bunch of red marks and looked like blisters on both sides almost identical it went all the way down to the top of my back thigh on both sides, shorty after i discover i had clusters of red tiny fluid filled bumps on my scalp near the temple area once again it almost looks like it was mirrored it was on the exact same sides of my scalp.
Avatar n tn (Avoiding coffee and sugar helps). About 10 years ago, i developed the first ringworm on my body (hip). About 6 months later, on my scalp. Oral meds cleared up the scalp and my hair grew back, but body tinea persisted. It has always remained as one "transient" lesion. It moved from my hip to my arm then another spot on my arm. It was never in more than one spot at a time. All of the oral meds (5 years ago) did nothing except make me sick and kill a few liver cells.
Avatar f tn Try white vinegar. Place it directly on the area with a dropper or whatever you have available. Do this twice daily. Works much better than any ointment ^..
Avatar m tn I have problem with my scalp, it started a 4 months ago. I have acne all over my scalp, maybe around 5 to 6 of them at any time. Its itchy, red skin, inflammation around the area for a few days until i apply ketoconozole cream. I hav tried taking kotoconazole tablet (400mg /day) and fluconozole on a weekly basis. I try going to a hot spring (natural) which believe to have to cure. so far Its getting better but i still feel something on my scalp, which is not normal. 1.
Avatar n tn It is a skin disorder affecting the scalp, face, and trunk causing scaly, flaky, itchy, red skin. It particularly affects the sebum-gland rich areas of skin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seborrhoeic_dermatitis Soaps and detergents such as sodium laureate sulfate may precipitate a flare-up, as they strip moisture from the top layers of the skin, and the drying property of these can cause flare-ups and may worsen the condition. Accordingly a suitable alternative should be used instead.
