I have no choice with meds, and I have tried everything from vit. E, scalpacin, coal tar, etc.. Its even painful to move my hair. Are there any simple at home body cleanses I can do to help release the toxins out of my skin? Or are there any special foods that promote skin healing? I have been to a dermatoligist, been Rx topical steroids etc...no successes. Please help.

Yes! I have many health books here at my house that have said eating Salmon helps with dry skin from the inside out.
Avoid using alkaline based shampoos.
Try a jojoba oil based shampoo and use it regularly.
Intersperse the jojoba shampoo with an over the counter dandruff shampoo once a week: look for zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide or coal-tar formulas.
Try a final rinse of one cup warm water mixed with two to three tablespoons of white vinegar. This will also bring out the highlights in your hair and make it shiny.
Massage table salt into your dry scalp before shampooing with an acid-based shampoo.
Try an oil treatment in which you massage olive oil into your hair and scalp, cover your hair with plastic wrap and with two wet towels. Keep the towels on your head for twenty minutes, then remove oil with two washings.
Supplement your diet with foods rich in Vitamins C and B, which promote a healthy scalp, and healthy hair.
If none of these improve the condition of your scalp, then make an appointment with a different dermatologist for a second oppinion, who can prescribe a treatment that'll work for you.
Hope I could be of some help.

use a emolient cream like keri lotion. it is a bit greasy at first but it will definitely help... make sure you wear cotton against your skin, and dry off well after your shower. You might try a emolient soap like oilated aveeno, it will not dry out your skin..... If you have a bathtub, once a week, fill the tub, put in some oil, ( baby or sofsyn) and soak for 15 min. pat your skin dry and apply your lotion.... you should be appling lotion on your body everyday after your showers....
