Re: Anyone have scalp sores?

[Guest guest]

YES! My hairdresser told me it's from using suave or dove or any kind of

moisturizing shampoo. I switched to TGel for two weeks. She has me rinse with

Sea Breeze antiseptic acne medicine and not rinse it out.

I'm going to a dermatologist in a couple weeks to have it checked.

I'm wondering if this is a side effect of any of the meds I'm on.

I don't know what this could be. You could try a shampoo like tegrin which is a

coal tar shampoo. Dollar General has a generic version.

It's taken care of my husbands eruptions that also itched all on his head.

If that doesn't help, you'd better go to a dermatologist.

Hope it gets better quickly.

Lori,

Please go see a dermatologist. I have folliculitis on my scalp, face, arms,

chest and sometimes legs. My symptoms sound exactly like yours. I have a

prescription cream for everything but the scalp. He had me switch to an

antibacterial soap. He recommended Safeguard over the others. And I use a

special shampoo. When my scalp is under control, I switch to other shampoos

including those with moisturizers.

There are many different causes for folliculitis. There are also many other

things it could be. A dermatologist will be able to help you.

Have you consulted a dermatologist? It could be psorisis or eczema. I have had

the later on my scalp and almost everywhere but below my knees.

Try getting some teatree oil and applying it on your spots. As Vit e and pure

lavender oil will help.

Hope you are doing better soon. Hugs, Tami

Lori,

My scalp does this when my thyroid gets low so you should get checked. I use

dandruff shampoo with aloe, in it but I am not a Doctor, so hope you are okay.

My hair falls out also when thyroid is low.

Good luck. Bennie

I have low normal thyroid, or at least I did. Have to go back to the

endocrinologist.

Do you take a thyroid med?

sores!
