is head and shoulders safe as a body wash?

Question

i have really dry skin and get these annoying red bumps on my back and arms. there not like pimples just red dots(im really pale) i read where people have used head and shoulders to treat acne and ive used it for about a week now with much improvement.i was just wondering if its safe to use as a body wash daily.

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Have a read of the ingredients - there is SLS (sodium laurel/laureth sulphate) and propylene glycol at least. Some shampoos/conditioners even have PEG, glycerin, cocamiopropyl Betaine, quaternium, coal tar, DEA (diethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine), formaldehyde, tallow and isopropanol.

These are all skin/eye irritants and may cause allergic reaction, at best and are all linked to cancer in animals and/or humans, or are often contaminated with carcinogens, or readily forms carcinogen nitrosamines when mixed with other ingredients.

Let me know if you would like me to send you any more info.

I don't usually use human shampoo on cats as cats tend to be so sensitive to so many things, and I don't know what products are safe to use on my cats. I doubt that Head & Shoulders kills flea eggs, as most flea products do NOT. You can read the product label. If it can kill the eggs, it WILL state that as this is a rare attribute and an excellent selling point for the product that can kill the fleas in the eggs as well. What you did is drown the fleas. The soap prevents their escape, and they drown. Letting the kit sit with all that soap for 5 min was a great plan. NOW... Get a flea comb and comb the kitten thoroughly to comb those flea eggs out now. Do not repeat the shampoo. Anything that can kill fleas can be hard on the body if used TOO often. So use a comb instead. Once you have combed the kitten 100%, then see how the flea situation looks. If the kitten has been inside the house, you need to treat it's bed and may need to bug bomb the house as well.

Definitely not! Not even safe for a shampoo. Makes more dandruff than it washes away. Study the guy's answer with the bathroom pocket guide. Sounds like the guide's on the right track.

Wash well with Ivory soap. Pat dry. Rub colloidal silver(silver is a natural antibacterial). It's like water with ions of silver suspended in a "collodial" state. Let dry on the skin.

My dermatologist in Dallas recommended that I wash my face with Head and Shoulders. Don't listen to the naysayers.

Answer 7

My fiance has that problem, too. We think that it is something in the water, like maybe a build up in the hot water tank. Or they could be just heat bumps if you sweat a lot! :D

Hope it gets better! :D Sorry I couldn't answer the Head & Shoulder's part!

I have been doing it for a long time. It helps with any type of pimples, scaly bumps, etc. I don't know if it is safe for long term use. I use sulfur soap with lanolin on amazon too, and that also works.

Answer 9

i think its good and i know u said the bumps arent acne but head and shoulders works great on body acne, it might also work for the red dots! worth a try!

Answer 10

No it is not meant to wash your body with. It is way too harsh.
