Avatar f tn com that using a corticosteroid should only be used to reduced the redness and then use dandruff shampoo for maintenance , but like I said the dandruff shampoo is not working, it is actually making things more red and it slightly burns. Is there an alternative to Desonide? That will give me the same results and not ruin my skin later in life?

Avatar f tn Hello, I'm about to start my last treatment for recurrence. I'm doing gemzar/carbo. I have both on day 1 and then day 8 I have gemzar. My CA125 went from 1440 after first treatment down to 13.9 after third treatment. I had a secondary cytorductive surgery. I recurred about 7 months post chemo. That was carbo/taxol, 6 treatments. Question. Should I consider maintenance therapy? Should it be chemotherapy. I do not want to go on Avistan due to bowel involvement.
Avatar f tn I just completed my 6th treatment of gemzar/carbo for recurrence. Prior to my second treatment I had complete secondary cytoreductive surgery. My CA125 is now in the single digits. My CT scan will never be clear. It shows all kinds of problems due to the radical surgery. My doctor is using them to see if any change has occured. I do not want to go on Avistan. Does anything work? I have a meeting with my doctor next week and also have a call to my recent surgeon Dr.
Avatar m tn Has anybody had any problems getting insurance to pay for maintenance? My doctor told me since the study came out that maintenance does not work insurance companies no longer want to cover it. I have decided to go back on maintenance, but It was recommended I go for SOC. They have no problems getting this approved even though it will be my 6th or 7th time. I just need something to hold me over until I can get Vertex. Being a relapser my chances of getting in a trail is next to none.
Avatar n tn Hi, The best way to treat dandruff is to use a dandruff shampoo. Look for shampoos with ingredients such as zinc pyrithone, salicyclic acid, coal tar, selenium silfide, or ketoconazole. All of these ingredients have been shown to work on dandruff; to use the shampoo, apply it to your scalp and hair, rub vigorously, and allow it to sit for five minutes so that the ingredients can work before rinsing it out.
Avatar m tn Then I recently contracted pneumonia and was given a round of strong antibiotics. My dandruff disappeared on the 7th day of my antibiotic treatment and has not returned for a couple of weeks now. This makes no sense to me, as I know that dandruff is not bacterial in nature. Do you have an explanation for this?
Avatar n tn I think this resulted in me developing serious dandruff. its been a problem for a while now. I think there is some hairloss and scalp is very dry and itchy. Everytime I run my fingers through my hand i can see flakes falling down. I plan on shaving my head and start applying some cream. Can you recommend any medicine or any remedies. I would really appreciate some help. thank you, max.
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 f tn Ive always suffered from dandruff and so i used T-gel and capisal anti-dandfuff shampoos, but when i got pregnant my doc told me not to use them because of coal tar and so i stopped, it also says on the back of the bottle not reccomended during pregnancy, its been 9 weeks and my head is soo itchy its driving me mad :( .. Anyone know any good natural ways to get rid of it?
Avatar n tn I have been suffering from dandruff for more than 10 years. I have tried Nizoral, coal tar, head and shoulder, selsum blue etc but nothing seems to help. Especially in 3 area in my head near the centre, I big circle of dandruff forming. They can be almost the size of dime. Its thicken , raised flaky transparent skin layer with dots. I have been noticing this for atleast 4 years now. I scratch and take it out but it rebuilds in just couple of day in the excact location.
Avatar f tn The first doctor prescribed a steroid cream and told me to wash my hair with dandruff shampoo and put a little of the suds in my ears and on my groin. The steroid cream worked for a couple of weeks and then stopped. A few years later a second doctor gave me samples of an anti-fungal cream and told me to use it. That did nothing. So basically I've been itching non-stop and clawing my body up pretty good for 15 years.
1392168 tn?1280074408 They are mostly light, and flakey, so flakes come off like dandruff. Even if I spend months not itching them, there are still some there. Sometimes, it's better than others and clears up. But it seems to be a constant problem, because, if I get rid of one patch there's just another somewhere else. They are not really itchy unless I think about them, even then It's overcomeable. Not like how a rash might itch. I also have dyed my hair a few times and used bleach.
Avatar m tn Her CA125 prior to the start of her 6th cycle was 17. We are now in the process of finalizing the best approach for the remaining treatment. Due to the extensiveness of her surgery she was not given any chemo through her IP port. This was reserved for her maintenance. A couple of months back her case was discussed with Dr Maurie Markman and was decided that she be put on 3 cycles of IP Cisplatin after the completion of her 6 IV cycles.
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 n tn com/skin-problems-and-treatments/understanding-dandruff-treatment)If these do not help, you may need stronger prescription shampoo from your doctor. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn If you are currently on maintenance therapy you may have to stop for a while before you do a trial such as telepravir (if they will let you in it). I'm not sure of the qualifications but you've been on interferon on maint for so long it might make a difference.

Avatar m tn I wish I also had thick hair like you but whatever little I had…. I had to save them. So After the dandruff treatment I continued my treatment for hair fall which has also reduced to a significant percent. He will also suggest or infact give you a chart to follow a proper diet pattern. So if you too believe in homeopathy I would suggest you to try him. I would have loved to give you the name of the anti-fungal tablets but sorry to say that his medicines are not available in the market.

216533 tn?1203529577 We will draw labs in two more weeks and discuss maintenance treatment vs watch and wait. My liver biopsy was very early stage 4. I wish all of you in tx the best and hope you clear. I will still visit the forum and see how everyone is doing. Thanks for the support.
Avatar n tn It started out of the blue, my scalp became very itchy and I could not help scratching it, when I scratched it, what appeared to be white flakes of skin came off. I thought this was just normal dandruff so bought Anti-dandruff shampoo (over the years I have tried every Anti-dandruff shampoo you can think of, even stuff from my GP).
