Avatar f tn Hi, wondering if anyone has an answer for me. I used to get dandruff on and off and I used head & shoulders or others like it and it worked fine. This winter, however, my scalp has gotten extremly dry and itchy and flaky, and sore from all the scratching. I tried a bunch of more heavy duty OTC shampoos for dandruff, but none worked. I used an essential oils scalp massage and that worked for a bit. Now it is out of control and driving me crazy.
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.

Avatar n tn Hi Ms Vanessa Lacuesta, So do u say that my hair loss is due to the dandruff I have? I am fine with dandruff and itchy scalp because shampooing everyday really helps. I am not taking any pills right now and not taking any treatment except for shampooing my hair with herbal essence every day. I took the pills few years back; took a lot of them, which did not help so I gave up. I am trying out myself here on internet to understand the cause. what type of baldness does mine come under?
Avatar m tn Hello I am a 15 year old boy who had an unprotected oral and protected vaginal intercourse with a prostitute in the Philippines but the condom broke and I continued for about 2 mins and ejaculated inside her. Its been 7 weeks since the exposure, my symptoms are lower back pains, dandruff and tired eyes. I'm really really scared that I might contract HIV from that single exposure. I really don't know what to do. Please help me the anxiety is killing me and makes so depressed.

Avatar m tn ve read another post on here and they recommend Jason Anti Dandruff Shampoo, has anyone else tried it or had the same issue and come out the other side? If I don't sort it soon I'm going to have to see if I can get the doctor to refer to me a dermatologist or something?
Avatar n tn t the cause of my hair loss. All the tests came back fine and she told me that it was probably stress related (I was not stressed). The hair loss did not stop, even though I started to take supplements (Biotin, Folic Acid, B6, zinc, hair supplements..etc). So I went to a dermatologist, who gave me some shampoos that were supposed to help stop hair loss. instead the shampoos made my hair loss worse and gave me dandruff. I started experiencing severe burning sensation on my scalp.
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 About 3 month ago I had a lady fist me anally with her hand(not fingers entire hand) every since than I have had all HIV symptoms(flu, headache,rash) but the thing that concerns me the most is facial flakes I googled that and it says symptom of HIV i have had extraordinary amount of stress. What is my risk assessment , and could stress cause those symptoms please give complete answer.

Avatar f tn I started off with an itchy scalp about 4-5 weeks ago - i then noticed i had some dandruff - i wasn't too concerned intil i found myself itching quite a lot - ive had dandruff before and it generally goes soon enough and doesn't cause too much itching. Anyway i started to become paranoid thinking i had lice - as my cousins were visiting i thought perhaps i had got lice from one of them. However nobody was itching but me.
Avatar f tn I have tried head and shoulders, tyea tree oil shampoos, vinigar and even peroxide and nothing has helped the flakes and what not. Now I am a suspicious about the scabs. Please help!
Avatar m tn I always had dandruff but never on face, is it a sign of HIV and can stress cause flaking facial skin and acne. 2. Did anyone ever got HIV from this sort of exposure 3. Do you believe vinyl glove will provide protection against infection and would oil temper it. and if there was blood in oil would there be a chance of infection. I suffer from anxiety and i also have loose stool.What is my risk?

Avatar m tn 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 ?
890634 tn?1241186679 I also wonder if there is any correlation between the fact that I started drinking a bottle of beer (or 1/2 of one) each night for awhile. (because I am nursing a baby and my milk production went down during the stress of trying to rid myself and my family of the lice!) The yeast in the beer may have made things worse too. It is amazing how everything is connected. I will let you know if anything helps me, please also do the same if you find something that is a relief to you.
