If I skipped shampooing for one day the itching became unbearable and then the scratching made it worse, causing more of an eruption. Once the scalp developed bumps or flaking then I would use a fluocinonide solution on my scalp - probably any steroid solution would do, but the important part is getting it in solution rather than a cream or ointment – either of those would make a real mess applied where hair is present!
Ive been using nizoral shampoo every other day on the infected area and for the first 2 weeks was using lamisil or canensten cream (anitfungal). However the last doctor i went to prescribed me DOVONEX (calciptotriol). Ive done some research on what it is, and there is no link between Psoriasis(which is what dovonex is used for) and Pytriaisis Versicolor or even Tinea Versicolor, or any other fungal infections for that matter.
my son has severe plaque psoriasis. he is on medicare and dovonex is not covered. What other medicine can he use and is there any financial assistance.?
I want to use the scalp solution for the dandruff.Please write the trade name of the solution which I can purchase in India.I am suffering from dandruff for almost 15 years and i have tried some will advertised shampoo and other prodicts which are not effective.Somebody has advesed urine therapy.I may use it if possible for me.
Then follow up with another light misting of the scalp and hair with the solution and allow hair to air dry. The vinegar smell will be gone once the hair completely dries. The solution acts as a clarifying agent, removing build from the a scalp and hair while promoting ph levels. It also has anti microbial benefits which kills door causing bacteria. Let me know if it helps.
Your doctor can also prescribe a topical steroid for this. These meds are available in a solution that is non-greasy for use on the scalp. The one I've used (and found very helpful) is fluocinonide solution. I also didn't do well with strong menthol shampoos or conditioners - they really irritated my skin even more.
I have been on betamethasone, desonide, dovonex (for a year) and, now, clobetasol (once a day). I will be undergoing phototherapy in a month.
My question is whether or not it is safe to have phototherapy on thinning skin.
Also, should I treat thinning skin with moisturizers or is there another solution? I have terrible bruising; but the cream seems to be working.
Hi, I am really really concerned about a burn scar which I have on my left hand. I burned my hand with hot wax in a little area about a size of a quarter about 6 months ago. Now I have a white scar on that area. I've been to a dermatologist and they prescribed me Dovonex and Vectical ointment. I've been using Dovonex and now I'm using Vectical. The dermatologist told me I should keep putting the ointment on before I think of doing something else.
Does anyone who has treated know what is good for scalp itch? It is really bugging me. Going to the doc on Tuesday but meanwhile...I am trying not to touch it but it is real uncomfortable.
Thanks!
Honestly i do not know when it started but i am always using my finger to rub on my scalp looking for something to scratch off , i have a serious problem with dandruff it comes and goes and sometimes grow over night.
When i have it bad i notice i have red spots or bumps on my scalp and i need help because i am very scared this might be some sort of disease ... can someone tell me what are these small red spots that appear ?
First of all,stress or hormonal changes may lead to excess oil produced by the oil glands in your scalp. This causes the harmless bacteria that live in the scalp to proliferate and feed off the oil, which produces the odor.
Second possibility is of a fungal infection causing tinea capitis.It is contagious and can spread direct contact with someone who has the condition, or if you touch contaminated items such as combs, hats, clothing, or similar surfaces.
they feel like they are almost underneath the skin of my scalp and Although they are always present on my scalp,the only time they show up is when I scratch them.
Along with these symptoms,I have been struggling with mild diffuse hairloss that seems to occur when these symptoms arise.
I am prone to excema but it usually disappears by now. I have tried nearly everything to get this under control but it like my scalp seems to get used to it and gets worse again.
