Avatar n tn Hello, Dandruff is associated with a tiny fungus called Pityrosporum ovale, or P. ovale for short. This fungus lives on our bodies and scalp all the time, usually without causing a problem. Unfortunately, for some people, it can get out of control -- leading to 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.

Avatar m tn Hi I've just found this forum and I'm delighted! I have to wash my hair EVERY day and by lunchtime it smells bad, more so on my scalp but my hair too! I've tried T-Gel, Nizorel, Vosene, Sulphur shampoo, anti dandruff stuff prescribed by the doctor (who actually didn't believe me, she clearly didn't get close enough!) and I'm starting to get paranoid, not to mention worried about the condition of my hair due to constant washing, drying straightening.
Avatar f tn m going off of what I vaguely remember lol. There are 3 causes for dandruff dry scalp, oily scalp, and a fungus. The condition of your scalp is what is going to tell u which treatment to use. One remedy is ad easy as shampooing everyday and using less conditioner on your scalp. You should also try using a clarifying shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner.
Avatar n tn Dandruff can cause either an overly dry scalp with itchy white flakes that may be waxy or greasy, or it can manifest as an oily scalp with scales.

Avatar n tn Hi, It could be dandruff, which sometimes does affect the armpits or dry skin. Dandruff is due to the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Malassezia(yeast) lives on the scalps of most healthy adults without causing problems.
Avatar n tn t anything visible except dandruff, so is my hair loss without scalp disease? My father has dandruff too but not hair loss. so, is my hair loss associated with tinea? Once I did take pills suggested by a dermatologist but that did not really help.
Avatar f tn I had smelly scalp also, so I tried the Jason dandruff shampoo, it's like a miracle, no stinky scalp! I alternate with my regular shampoo. So far so good. By the way my doc had me on anti-fungal pills and shampoo neither worked. I definately like the no drug alternative.I'll keep you posted.
Avatar n tn My scalp has been tested for fungus and was negative. My entire scalp, wherever there is hair, feels like granulated sugar, and, at times, have open lesions that bleed and ooze clear liquid. The follicles on my arms are raised and, both my arms and when I rub my arms and shake my hair, tiny, what look like tiny pieces of clear to white thread float off. It is extremely embarrassing because I look like I am covered in dust. The top of my legs burn and and the follicles are also enlarged.
Avatar f tn You may need to use Head & Shoulders or Selsum Blue for itchy scalp or dandruff
Avatar f tn My fiancee has an itchy scalp, he has a little bit of dandruff but not bad. But my concern is about the pus-filled bumps on the back and sides of his scalp. He has had them for a long time, he went and seen a doctor about them and the doctor just told him that it's like athlete's feet and to put some fungus ointment on them. When my fiancee told me what the doctor had said I was like "That don't sound right.
Avatar n tn and doesnt show when combed from front to back on my both sides ... I dont have any fungus / worms kind of things on my scalp but yes i do have dandruff and in winter its a lot of dandruff ..
Avatar n tn It may appear as thickened, scaly, and sometimes boggy swellings, or as expanding raised red rings with central healing (ringworm). Common symptoms are severe itching of the scalp, dandruff, and bald patches where the fungus has rooted itself in the skin. Lamisil (Terbinafine hydrochloride, by Novartis AG) is a new treatment approved for use. ref:http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar m tn I would check K, D ,Calcium, and Magnesium levels or get a Dr to do it. Also, with scalp dermatitis it can be caused by dandruff Dandruff is caused by 3 types of fungus, so if you only use one type of shampoo it will never go away. I think using Cesium Blue, Head and shoulder and another... check the active ingredients on the back. Usually the two are because you are having a reaction to the cold. So, use the shampoo, conditioner, and lotion on your skin.
Avatar m tn The widely present yeast, Malassezia furfur as well as genetic, environmental, hormonal, and immune-system factors have all been implicated. This is a fat-eating fungus which lives on the scalp of most healthy adults without causing any problems. Sometimes its numbers grow out of control and it feeds on the oil made by hair follicles. This causes irritation, which leads to an increase in skin cell shedding. Side effects to inflammation may include temporary hair loss.
Avatar f tn Now there is this white almost fiber looking particles stuck to my hair and scalp along with occasional Painful lumps. Also have it on my eyelashes and brows. Along my eyelids and eyeline there are small bumps. What are they? Anybody know?
2078979 tn?1332206668 Selaun blue is AWESOME there's also this stuff and I can never remember what its called but its tar something or the other and obviously its brown. I find mine at Walmart and they have an equate brand. It is also amazing. I personally like the way it smells (I'm weird I also like the way laquer thinner smells) anyway it smells like tar but girl.it is awesome too! I don't have dandruff but I have always had a sensitive scalp and too many scents in a shampoo male my scalp break.
Avatar f tn You can tell its dandruff or dry scalp by the colour and if there is a smell present or not. Dandruff is yellowish and gives off an odour.
Avatar m tn I have dry scalp/dandruff/scalp sores... recommend me a shampoo to make it go away!
Avatar f tn hi, i am 14 years old and i have really bad scalp promblems i dont know how i got it, its not dandruff though, my scalp gets really flaky, itchy and white and i been using alot of different kinds of shampoo thats not helping. recently i got this sore in the middle of my head i been to the doctor and my dermatologist and they determine is a fungas infection and i dont have any bacteria or anything like that.
Avatar n tn t wash your hair more than needed, over washing can dry out your scalp. Try a coconut oil mask and concentrate it at your scalp/ roots then leave it in for 30 minutes or overnight. You can also buy masks from beauty stores as well.
