Itchy dry scalp

[needawin]

my wife suffers from a dry itch scalp and at times small sores form. Has tried all sorts of creams but nothing seems to help. Any cures anyone?

My husband had the same problem, and the doctor prescribed some special shampoo for him to use. This has certainly helped.

Use a shampoo such as Neutrogena, nothing perfumed. no mousse or conditioner or lacquer. Sounds a bit like psoriasis but have it checked out.

needawin, I have the same problem from time to time. Actually I have it at the moment. The doctor told me to use Polytar, in a white bottle. Wash your hair in this three times a week at first. It shuld tell you on the bottle. Just one thing it smells. x

I have recently recovered from the same condition and
highly recommend she washes her hair 2x per week with
Alphosyl. It has worked a treat

At bad times and if not allergic, almond oil is good. As this is greasy though, for day-to-day, I use Vosene Sensitive but have found the biggest trick is to rub a good conditioner into the scalp after each wash. If I run out of conditioner and just shampoo - I certainly know about it! X
