Help my scalp!!

[SKA]

It's so sore because I scratch and its starts bleeding, then when I wash it, it stings like mad! I only scratch because it's so dry!
What can I do?!?!?

do you think it could be psoriasis?

Hmm I dont know, I dont think it's that bad!! Or maybe it is, I'm clueless!

could it just be dandruff do you get flakes? or maybe you are allergic to the shampoo you use??

Try using T Gel shampoo, it stinks but it stops the itch!

It does sound like psoraiasis - get an apt. with your GP.

If he is willing - ask him to prescribe Sinlar Gel and rub it in regularly - daily is ideal. I have next to no hair, so a gloop about the size of a 10p piece does me. I put it on in the mornings - saves staining the pillows. If you have long hair, there is an applicator with it.

I find this very good. For shampoo, use something like Johnson's baby shampoo, or pears, but nothing with any abrasive ingredients.

Hope this helps.

use head and shoulders for a dry scalp? You could ask a chemist?

How about something that smells yummy and is natural.

Green People are a company that sell organic products and they are really good! (esp if you suffer from sensitive skin aswell.) They sell a Rosemary shampoo and conditioner specifically for itchy scalps - I have been using it for 2 years now and havent suffered from an itchy scalp for a good length of time now. Their products can seem a little expensive, but a little bit goes a long way and a bottle can last for ages! I can highly recommend them! :o)
