Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 I have had itchy scalp, its better now since I cleaned up my diet, stopped smoking etc. Tea tree oil in an almond oil base helped, also ice packs can give relief. love sylv Re: Re: re: /itching/claudine HI everyone, Has anyone had problems with their scalp?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Well I tend to get what I call " heat rashes " anyway in the summer.. I mean 100+ degrees and I'm sweatin and itchin. dandruff shampoo doesn't do a thing for me. I have to use the stuff wtih tar in it. Also, the stuff wtih tea tree makes it feel better (tingly clean) and seems to help the itch but not as good as the tar shampoos. Also, try Nioxin. alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... http://www.flash.net/~alleypat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Dear , I really don't know about this subject, just what I read elsewhere. You might try contacting Vikki from Hepatitis-Central since she is the one who recommended the laxatives, so I'm sure she knows more about it. This was several months ago that I read this stuff on her web site, so I don't know if the messages would still be posted. I just remembered you talking about being constipated, and then the itching, and that reminded me of it. --- WebMistress <gina@...> wrote: > Hi Claudine > Would that be related to my bilary labs?

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 , Hi. Try Matrix Actrol Shampoo. I recommend it to clients at my salon who have scalp problems. It has always worked for them. Started one of my brothers on it several years ago. He had been using tar-type expensive prescription shampoos that weren't working for him. Now uses Actrol every day and swears by it. Hope it works for your son. Your friend, Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
