I've had a horrible scalp problem for over 5 or 6 years.
The back of my head on the scalp stays red and inflammed, and covered with white dry flaky scales. It itches so bad that I have to scratch it alot and it bleeds ALOT.
I have been to three different dermotologists and they have all said that it is dermatitis, or cradle cap. I have used Selsun Blue, T-Gel, Derma-Smoothe FS, the prescription Selsun Blue, 6 different prescription oils and lotions, and tons of other products.
Nothing helps, please help me! I think it is psoriasis, but has anyone else had this and is that what it was?

I have VERY long brown hair, so the flakes show really bad.
I'm not looking for a miracle cure, just something that helps with the itch. I have used everything under the sun, each for a long period of time, and nothing has helped. I'm running out of options, and I'm getting tired of scratching my head all the time!

I had the same problem, and I used T-Gel. it took a little while, but it eventaully worked.
None of these products work over night, give it some time.
It might be a hormonal thing, puberty or something. Keep seeing doctors, and eventually you'll figure something out.

Have the dermatologists done any tests? I would think a test for a fungal infection might be a good idea.
I know this won't be a popular suggestion, but if my head itched that badly, I would shave my head and try some different lotions like an anti-fungal cream or gold bond lotion. The reason I say I would shave my head is so the medication can be in contact with the skin instead of just getting in my hair. You can buy a wig to cover your head for a while. Also, with the hair out of the way, the dermatologist can see more clearly and might have a better idea of what is wrong. But that's just me...

stress causes psoriasis. try to be happy and content with yr life and you will find you wont get this problem as often. you might have to get medicated shampoos rather than the normal and dont wash yr hair as often would help. read tips on haircare and more on home remedies that might help you more on this site

I have the same problem i have had it my whole life and i am allergic to almost all shampoos. i use a prescription for elidel it really helps ask your doctors or dermatoligist they might be able to prescribe it for you. ill warn you it is really pricy and you should proablly have insureance if you want it. um it is really for ezema but it works really well hope this helps.
