Itchy scalp help?
in Health ·
Since I’m dealing with the exact same thing, I figured I’d weigh in. First things first: go see a dermatologist. Based on those symptoms you described, it sounds like seborrheic dermatitis, but you really need a professional opinion to be sure. The harsh truth is there isn't actually a "cure"—it's just something you manage. Personally, I stick to Vichy (the orange bottle), Selsun Blue, or Nizoral. These work for me as long as I wash my hair twice a week—basically once every four days. My doctor's advice was to rotate through one of those three shampoos every month, and that keeps the dandruff, oiliness, and itching completely at bay. I've been following that routine for four years now without a single itch. 🙂
