Common Questions and Answers about Dandruff and winter

dandruff

Avatar m tn I live in Virginia, and yes it is Winter, if i use it about once every two days is that ok?
Avatar n tn In summer its mostly common that people doesnt have any complains regarding their dandruff but in winter yes cause when it comes about hair they need moisture and in winter we usualy dont wash our hair that often. Solution: Wash them and massage the scalp with olive oil leave it for the night and then wash then next day morning and then if you see any changes after a week .... then thats what it is ....
Avatar m tn I've always had issues with Dry Scalp and Dandruff, particularly during the winter. Over the past couple years, I've also developed some sort of scalp sores that when picked at tend to bleed. They seem to continually come back. I've tried a number of shampoos - Head and Shoulders, Nizoral, Aveda Pureformance, T/Gel, American Crew, etc. with varying results.
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 f tn Then just last summer I started having this pimples like rashes on my triceps and just this winter my dandruff got worst it spread to my nose and to my ears and to my eyebrows. Is this a sign that I have HIV? Help me please. :( Im very worried.
Avatar m tn My 2 yr old girl is having a dandruff but a lot and i used a lot of shampoo and even tea tree oil i tried it but its not working.and also her fingers are becoming dry and because its drying its having a wound at he end of the day.Please help me!
Avatar f tn I've always dealt with dandruff in the winter, but I can't tell if the little white things in my hair are flakes or nits. I did the lice treatment, but nothing showed up when my hair was combed out. I have painful slightly itchy bumps and pimples on my scalp. I'm not insanely itchy, but I know you don't have to be super itchy to have lice. I don't know what else it would be if it's not lice, maybe the treatment didn't work. If it's not lice what is it?
Avatar n tn As mentioned earlier I have tried products prescribed by my GP, Polytar shampoo and Betnovate lotion, neither of these have worked. Other than using an Anti-dandruff shampoo everyday and trying my hardest not to scratch I don't know what else to do. HELP!!!
Avatar m tn Of course, a vet would likely know if they looked at it. But with the dandruff like description and the winter months where heaters run and humidity tends to be lower in the house, it seems as if dry skin is a possibility. You might try a humidifier in the area she spends most her time.
436973 tn?1217947089 There are also some parasitic skin disorders such as Cheyletiella (known as “walking dandruff”) that can cause the coat to appear flaky and dry. This problem is more common during the winter when the air becomes drier than normal. Other than that, a good source of Omega-3 fatty acid will certainly help you. I wanted, however, to talk to you about this particular subject: Omega-3.

Avatar m tn scalp psoriasis has waxing and waning episodes,bound to get worse during winter . the shampoos for seborrhaic dermatitis and scalp psoriasis have almost the same content. psoriasis is a difficult condition to treat. keep taking the treatment which best suits you and hope it improves.
20797909 tn?1510806713 Hi, names Max. I am seventeen years old and I have been suffering with extreme problems sleeping for.. 24 hours. Here's the catch, last winter, as in the winter of 2016-2017 for months was fighting with inability to sleep. I thought I got athlete's foot from the locker room because I always walked around bare foot like an idiot, logical conclusion. It wasn't, I tried every form of anti-fungal powder spray and lotion I could find and it only provided temporary relief.
Avatar f tn When I was in 4th grade I started noticing dandruff in my bangs. I could see the dry skin there and growing up it was only in my bangs but over the years I noticed it going more over the top of my scalp. Sometimes it'd be worse and my hair would itch bad and I'd have dandruff and I thought it was maybe just in winter when it's more dry but about 2years ago when I was living in MS on the gulf (not dry area at all) it was horrible (winter and summer)!

I am desperate.I've had hair fall out to.any help would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn Some white dandruff on my scalp, and now it starts spreading in my ears. During winter it increases at very fast speed. I consulted 4-5 dermatologists and I also consulted many ayurvedic treatments, but still not working I don't know what to do if anyone can help.
675347 tn?1365460645 I should have memtioned that what you are seeing might not even BE dandruff, it might be dander. Dander is entirely different from dandruff, and is the result of the dog's saliva drying on their skin and fur after they lick themselves. In many cases of allergies to pets, it isn't the hair that the person is allergic to at all, it's the dander.

209987 tn?1451935465 my dad got terrible cracked knuckles and fingers in winter and swore by this stuff....hope that helps at least a bit...
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 m tn ve been there for about 3yrs and sometimes they itch really bad in the winter and sometimes in the summer just recently i've had the same itching behind my knees and random itching on my thighs, legs and sometimes my buttocks could those random itchings be a form of eczema? how can i suppress it? and do you think a strict diet will prevent it from itching as bad? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/398294'>Eczema</a>.
Avatar m tn Hello, For dandruff, eat a healthy diet. 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 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 ?
Avatar f tn My GI has me wash the riba rash areas with Head & Shoulders (or Selsun Blue) dandruff shampoo and then apply over the counter hydrocortisone cream. My rash is is on my face and you have to be very careful using hydrocortison cream around the eyes as it thins the skin. This ritual works but the minute you stop the rash does come back.
