dandruff

Avatar f tn Just make sure the dandruff shampoo is okay'd by your dr. I know, crazy, it's just shampoo right? But personal care products can have things in them you shouldn't use, esp during first trimester. Motherrisk at Sick Kids can also help.
Avatar f tn Often we never know why one has anxiety, but with therapy (especially at a young age) you can nip this in the bud so that it doesn't become a lifelong problem for them. It's wonderful that you recognize there is a problem, but sometimes it takes someone specilaized in the field to help. Talking to them let's them know you understand and care which is a big help, but may not be enough. I wish you all the best, it's tough when it's our child having problems. Take care.
485351 tn?1208647497 My cat is just about a year old and she is experiencing a sudden increase in appetite, dandruff in her rump area, and a sudden loss of fur. The loss of fur is not in clumps, she just seems to be shedding a whole lot lately. She has been more inactive than usual too, almost depressed. We have not found any flea droppings or presence of worms in her stool. I've noticed lately that she can't seem to jump as high as she used to, and gives up playing earlier than before.
Avatar f tn I experience a lot of itching in them. I oil my scalp regularly and use an anti dandruff shampoo but so far no improvement. I have 4-5 such patches on my scalp and every time i brush my hair, a lot of dandruff comes out. Someone please advise!
277836 tn?1359666174 Okay I ned help my cat has dandruff and I am pretty sure it is coming from the lack of dry air here in the house it has been very cold.. So i am sure there isnt much mositure in the air... So are their any shampoos I can get to help clear this up for a cat like at petsmart??? Also he is on strict dry food diet because his tummy cant handle can food and he makes a very unpleasant mess.. So I am thinking of adding a tablespoon of olive oil to help to..
Avatar n tn i dont know if its dandruff or wat, but it doesnt come in flakey form. it comes in tiny hair forms. they are white dust like particles which are in my hair and they never run out. what may the cause be and what should i do to stop it? i used to wash my hair every day/twice a day if i play ball. for the last 3 days ive tried shampooing every other day, but i do still wash my hair with water. but no good, there are still a massive amount of dust in my hair. What sort of illness is this?
1548538 tn?1293871833 My husband is an RN and we are sure on that count. I do not think it is dandruff because I have tried every dandruff shampoo, even prescription and nothing helps, but also they are not flakes at all! They are like litle crystals. I am afraid I am never going to find an answer to this last issue, but maybe someone can help me out of the other "sebum?" issues?
Avatar f tn My mom recommend getting a soft toothbrush and gently massaging the oil in to baby's head. Let it soak in for a few minutes then gently wash baby. It might take a few washes over several days but it works.
Avatar n tn Apply it twice in a week at night and keep overnight. There are many anti dandruff shampoos in the market which you can use. Comb your hair well and massage your scalp well. If dandruff persists consult a skin specialist. Once this resolves the lymph nodes will disappear on their own. Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn I think it is young. But I'm 21 and about to have my second kid. And I feel to young. But I try and look at it as, we will be able to be with our babies even longer and grow up with them. So try not to feel like you're being judged. Look at it as a good thing that happen. Specially if you can support them or have help.
Avatar n tn It felt like someone is pouring acid on it. It even felt painful to move my hair in any direction. It was so excruciating I ended up in the urgent care twice. They ran a bunch of thyroid and hormonal tests which came back fine.
Avatar f tn I'm 21 years old I have an son he's 4 and pregnant with 2nd 31 weeks! I'm married (Jan 14) my husband is 25. You think I'm too young for marriage and kids? I know with my 1st just happened and I was turning 17 wen he was born with 2nd child we both wanted her. Ppl do judges us we don't really care because we are verry happy together and idk if we ever argued and we never broke up.! But I'm asking just what's in ur mind...
Avatar f tn I was 17 when I had my first born... she's 4 now. And I'm 11 weeks with my second. I'm 22... it was definitely a struggle being a teen mom... and yessssss I agree that alot of older mom's look down on us and act like we don't know what we are doing...
Avatar f tn Anyone have their kids in the delivery room? I'm thinking about a vbac and letting my 4 year old be in the room obviously I'd have my mil there to take him out if needed. Any thoughts or advice??
Avatar f tn My cousins bf got vasectomy without telling her and she had wanted a second. It caused lots of isdues and eventual break up. But you are very young and may decide in 10 years to try for another and would still be young...tho one thing you could use to convince him is that when your 39 all your kids could be off to college and you guys still young and enjoying the house to yourself ;-). I am 28 and my husband and I look forward to taking vacations when we want when we are 46 :-).

Avatar m tn My 7 yr old female cat has developed what appears to be dandruff thick skin flakes that slough off. Is this a cat's allergy or a dietary problem?
Avatar m tn 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. I also have a dry-skin problem on my face and my doctor gave me Ketoconazole cream which helped, but the same cream does not remedy my scalp problems.
436973 tn?1217947089 t dander, then it could be mites, fleas, sunburn or sensitivity to something new in the house, like new carpet, or new odor eliminating spray. Anything new in the house that you recall? Usually, winter is a season when many places become extremely dry. What are the humidity levels in your place? If your hands feel very dry, then your cat might be experiencing this as well. Check her for parasites, fleas, mites etc. Is she indoors or outdoors?
Avatar n tn t seem to have made much of a dent in the dandruff. Like I said, the dandruff is minimal on some days and heavier on other days with seemingly no rhyme or reason. I've tried adding some olive oil to his food, and even rubbing some on him because I read it might help, but really when I massaged some olive oil into his skin it almost seemed to make the dandruff worse. What do you all think? I have read they sell dog balm and dog moisturizers, which I'd never even heard of before.
Avatar n tn Sometimes an allergy to dairy products, nuts and chocolates may cause dandruff, in which case you should avoid them for about eight weeks to be able to access its effect. 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.
