My scalp is itchy and i have flakes.

My skin it typically dry, and so I thought maybe my scalp is dry too. I even used head and shoulders for dry scalp, until I think I became immune to it.

I read that dry scalp usually causes powdery flakes, and my flakes are generally larger unless I scratch some off. I would say they range in sizes.

Sometimes I get red spots from scratching too hard, or it's just under the first layer flakes I scratch off.

I've tried baby shampoo, baking soda, massaging my scalp when I shower, and over all trying to scratch less.
I heard vinegar works, but I don't have any, so I will have to buy some.

Please, if anyone can help me, i will be in your debt!

Neutrogena has a specific line for scalp problems.
The shampoos are very effective but they don't necessarily smell good.

Selson Blue is pretty good.

HEAD AND SHOULDERS SHAMPOO IS YOUR ANSWER

Is your scalp itchy as well since you're scratching at the flakes?

I'm thinking it may be seborrhea. You can just ask your local pharmacist about the different shampoos available for treatment.

She tried head & shoulders already.

Is your scalp red where the skin flakes off?

I think it's dandruff. Try using dandruff shampoos .If it still doesn't work,try to look for a dermatologist

It is dandruff but what type of dandruff?

neutrogena has 2 dandruff treatments. one that is a tar/coal treatment and which i think is utter crap. the other is a blue liquid which i prefer. or you can try selsun .... i haven't used this so i dunno.

edit. ask a chemist which type of dandruff you have. if they don't know ask a different chemist who is more knowledgeable.

you should see a doctor ^^ i used to have this sort of problem and apparently it was caused by some fungus... she prescribed a shampoo & now it's all good ^^

When you've tried everything and nothing seems to work, it could be because you have psoriasis. Signs of this can be your sign getting red rather or not your scratching. The size of the skin fall off varies in size from really big to really little. Usually when someone have psoriasis they lack vitamin D.

I have this and my doctor recommended going outside in the sun as much as I can. She also prescribed a solution and a cream. It's always a good idea to keep the skin on that area as moist as possible. It's not contagious so you don't have to worry about it. This is a genetic, so it probably runs in the family (it does for me).


Also, Selsun Blue seems to work best with this scenario.
