Common Questions and Answers about Dandruff and red spots

Avatar n tn About a month ago, I left some red spots on his back near the waist, which were resected. Also in the arms, which are dry and virtually disappeared. Others are still in the outskirts of the axillae and nipples, still red and sometimes I get itchy. They are more scaly and red when I shower with hot water. As I said before, these spots are red, sometimes cause itching, are scaly and look like "wrinkled".
Avatar n tn I have someone with red blotches on his face starting from his hairline down the side of his face to his chin. Whenever he is in the sun, these spots get brighter and they itch. The spots are not scaly. Whenever he applies a dandruff shampoo to it, it eases and goes away. He has been told that it is the dandruff that has run down to his face.Others say that it is his high alcohol consumption which is in correlation to some liver disorder. The spots tend to look like ring worm but not exactly.
Avatar m tn I have a problem with my scalp which I have been to my doctor about twice but without success. I regularly get spots (like face spots) on my scalp which can be puss filled or just red aswell as some itching and alot of flaking. I have no idea what is causing it however the symptoms appear to be at their worst after my hair has just been washed and dried. The spots and flaking then become a real problem.
Avatar n tn My black toy poodle who is currently 2 years old got dandruff. At first it was only dandruff but now her hair is shedding. She's got bald spots over her body. We only give her dog food for her diet. Could you please help me understand what is going on with her? I will be waiting for your response. Thank you very much.
Avatar m tn Keep in mind hair loss is only at top of scalp around red spots but they are all over, some new some faded, help please, I can't go bald at 22. The sores are itchy too, but they look like very tiny red dots.

Avatar f tn I tried a dandruff shampoo that contains zinc pyrithione, but this time I rubbed the shampoo directly on the spots instead of just the foam. My ears and groin are still red but the scales and scabs are virtually gone in less than 10 days and I only itch when the skin is wet (sweat or post-shower). Hey, this works. And I'm tired of itching. And now parts of my scalp are itching, on top of the ears, face, chest, belly area and groin.

Avatar f 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.
Avatar m tn 1 more thing... have red dry spot about the size of a softball that comes and goes on chest... lil red, looks like slight dry skin on it, seems to be brought on by heat, twice i have multipul quarter size spots after working in very very hot humid alabama weather..
Avatar n tn These spots come and go. They will go away and then I will wake up and there is bright red spots that are sore. The spots sometimes get "oozy" and will have like a clear fluid come out, then they get flaky as it heals. There is one spot that is pretty persistant. I have tried a hydrocortizone cream along with cephalexin 500 mg from my dermatologist. This worked and cleared it up for several weeks, I continue to use the cream and now it is coming back.
Avatar f tn hi, i have a 11 year old son that has 2 small red, raw spots on the top of his head/scalp. The rest of his scalp looks perfect. He has a crew cut so it is very easy to see. It itches him a lot. I know head lice is sometimes in school, but i have looked very good and see nothing of that nature. I only see some light, flaky dandruff in some parts. Pls help. thx.
Avatar m tn They have large flakes when my hair is a little long (1/4 inch or more) and they just look like big dandruff flakes. If i scratch it off, its red and hurts. I have been shaving my head over the last couple months, and when I do that, they don't appear, but if i stop shaving for a couple weeks, then i get them again. I also have been getting a boil or two on the top of my head at least every other week.
Avatar m tn Only within the last few months, I've been getting dry flaky spots on my face. If I scratch them off, there's a red dot underneath, and if I use a drying soap, it looks like a crater later. I also get scabs and sore spots on my scalp, which a dermatologist told me was seborrheic dermatitis. Is this the same thing? Would it have spread to my face for some reason?

Avatar m tn I'm a 24 yr old male and have various dry spots on my scalp; I first started getting dandruff a while back; now I have spots that are very visible, especially when I get out of the shower. They don't really itch or hurt but they do have a redness to them, but its just really dry patches; I've tried treating them with over-the-counter dandruff shampoo but to no avail.

Avatar f tn s happening, the weather here in England has been 30c and she works in a School kitchen with no air con so you can imagine how hot it is for her. Her upper back and neck are red and covered in spots that look like a heat rash, and now the yellow crusting has started, her hair is so sweaty at work and in bed which doesn't help, she's really upset with it, she is trying e45 but it hasn't done alot. What can she do? Is this Cradle Cap? Thanks .x.
Avatar f tn I keep getting acne right in my cleavage! It's awful! And I have this patch of acne on my cheek, and along my hairline. Oh, and on my legs! All over my calves! Haha. 16w+4... This kid is trying to make me ugly.
Avatar f tn I recently started getting a really itchy face. I have had dandruff and I do still have a bit of dandruff. When I first had it I got a dry forehead as well, I thought it was part of the dandruff. But very recently I have been getting red patches on my face (under eye area, around my mouth, cheeks, and still forehead). I started getting really concerned because everything I put on my face burns so much.
