Bad dandruff, i think i need a doctor.?

Question

Ive had badddd dandruff now for 2 months and ive used head and shoulders hoping it would work, but noooo.
My scalp is constantly flaking, even if i move my head slightly i get a load of dandruff on my shoulders.

Ive tried a mixture of stuff, head and shoulders, lime juice, lemon juice and olive oil. You know what? They dident even help a bit.
I need to see a doctor about this and then i would be satisfied, ive read that some dandruff is caused by stress levels? is that true? because if it is i have been though a bit of it but i dont know how i can get out of it lol.
I have asked my mum on numerous occasions if i could see a doctor and she says there is no need, How do i get around her?
Dont post idead for shampoo's, ive used too many and they havent helped.

ive already said, dandruff shampoo's dont help me...

would olive oil help my scalp and frizz if i leave it in all night?

Answer 1

Yes most dandruff shampoos dont work - this is a common complaint. I do know of a fantastic remedy for dandruff and itchy scalp (a few actually). However it is really important to know first what causes itchy scalp and dandruff so it doesnt come back. It can start from using shampoo with SLS - a harsh stripping shampoo. It can also be caused by too much yeast (stress can make you more susceptible to yeast infections). There are many natural remedies that work to eliminate dandruff as well as shampoos that dont strip your hair and scalp making it worse. I use Akin shampoos myself from puristusa.com or Neways. A great antidandruff shampoo is Thursday Plantation because of the tea tree oil in it. You might consider also reducing your yeast and sugar consumption for a week or two also can help.

The soothing dandruff blasting remedy I recommend is: 10 drops of neem oil, 10 drops tea tree (melaleuca oil), 10 drops of lavender and also 10 drops of rosemary. Best one I have tried ever and you can use the oils for other things too so they are not wasted. Lavender also helpd hair grow faster and thicker. See the web page in the resources below for a list of oils and natural remedies that work as well as info on how to stop it permanently and not just a temporary "band aid" fix.

Answer 2

!] call a pharmacist and ask him what is good for very bad dandruff
2] tell your mom to take you to the dermatologist! [ tip - go to the school clinic, ask them to call or write your mom/dad. Most are very willing to help you! ]
3] sounds like you have seborrheic dermatitis. [ I have it too, and my mom wouldn't take me either. ] This will not get better by itself.
TREATMENT:
a] wash hair with formula for dermatitis/eczema/psoriasis, like Neutrogena T gel. Massage scalp and comb hair thoroughly before, to get rid of what is already loose.
b] use same type conditioner
c] buy some drugstore brand of cortisone cream and ointment.
d] part hair in one inch sections, and apply cortisone ointment all over your head. It will look greasy and disgusting, but it will help. Leave on overnight, or 24 hours.
e] massage scalp and comb hair again, and wash and condition as before. Apply cortisone cream if you have to go out that day, or do the ointment thing again. [ the cream doesn't make your hair look quite as greasy.]
f] eat well - lean protein, low fat dairy, whole grains, lots of fruits and veggies, Avoid fried, fast, and junk foods - even diet junk foods.
g] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day
h] take a good multivitamin with minerals every day- sometimes a little bit of one element makes a big difference

Answer 3

It might be that you have too much hair and your scalp isn't breathing enough with all that hair. Yes you should go to a doctor if none of those products have worked.
