somewhat curly hair, i use ketoconazle like thrice a week and it doesn’t seem to get rid of flakes or prevent them
I don't know what that is or what's in it and I'm too lazy to look it up. There was a time where I'd use dandruff shampoos frequently and would get more dandruff a couple of days later.
With curly hair, you get scabs and flakes because your scalp is too dry. Washing with that stuff 3x a week is just repeatedly rinsing out all of the oils your scalp needs, doubly important for curly hair. Wash your hair with conditioner instead, and find a good leave in conditioner that isn't full of shit. I haven't gotten dandruff since.
NTA but nizoral is good for combating some forms of dandruff (also has the bonus of being a light dht inhibitor, so you could stave off hair loss if that’s an issue).
Docs recommend to use it a few times a week but I find that’s only good for people with very straight hair, otherwise it dries out your hair badly. Dry scalp is another big culprit of flaking. Look into getting a scalp moisturiser. Get a moisturising conditioner you can use after the nizoral and a lotion you can apply to the scalp after you get out of the shower
Ding ding ding! We have a fricking winner. Now ask yourself why?
Quick run down: It’s a fungus that spreads when you avoid sunlight. Get some fricking sun and it will go away. You’re probably vitamin D deficient as well.
Makes sense, I had this on my groin area for years and thought it was just jock itch and kept using hand sanitizer for temporary relief til I couldn't take it anymore.
Scrubbed my balls with Selsun Blue, the first couple days was hell. My balls and foreskin got all dried and scaly but after that it turned very soft and smooth and.no more itch. An extra bonus on top of that the skin in my groin area turned whiter.
I think I've had a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis that flared up badly and worsended because of a singular coconut oil application. Don't feed the fungus
I use MCT oil to keep this shit at bay and it has worked pretty well and moisturizes too. Its kinda messy but I lightly coat my face and scalp and massage it in to the problem areas. I do this once every two-ish weeks an hour or two before I shower. Have not even thought about it in months until I saw your post.
Don’t have any perfect solutions but for me using a scalp scrubber in the shower helps avoid a build up of flakes/scabs. Also getting hair cut often and relatively short seems to help but I’m not sure. I also rarely use shampoo.
My dandruff was probably not fungal in nature, but rather just a dry scalp. Ketoconazol just made it flakier, and it would affect me more in winter.
My hairdresser recommended using plain vinegar to wash my hair, which has been remarkably effective. I'm not sure how it works, but every couple of weeks I'll get some flakes/itchiness and a shower with vinegar shuts it up.
Have also bought sulfide free shampoo with tea tree oil, but haven't used it much yet.
Cold showers (at least for my head) also seem to help.
Treat is an autoimmune disorder because that's what it is. Something in your body is dysfunctional and causing inflammation. First step I'd say is go carnivore as an elimination diet. Get your minerals and vitamins checked also, sebderm is linked to zinc deficiency for example.
How can I moisturize my scalp? I feel it’s very tight and sensitive after buzzing it up (every 4 days). Also the dead skin after buzz cut and shampoo is crazy
are you trying to bankrupt this poor genelet? if he deserved to be able to go to a doctor, he wouldn't need to in the first place.
now, leave us alone so private equity can funnel our wealth to billionaires and make sure we don't have a penny left to our names when we die.
It's an autoimmune disease. There's no cure and in the end all treatment and home remedies will just make the issue worse. You just learn to live with it.
I've had that shit appear under my bear for no reason. I've never had anything before. Now it looks like I have acne scars even tho I've never had acne there. Went to 2 different dermatologists, they gave me steroid creams (didn't do shit), shampoo nizal bs (didn't do shit), tracolimus or tacrolimus (didn't do shit).
Now, everything I put on my skin is 100% cotton, bedsheets also cotton, my body wash is "natural", my laundry soap is also some anti-allergy bs. I don't eat anything processed, and still, it isn't better.
Do you have curly hair? Do you use shampoos? How often do you wash and with what?

same shit my israelite dermatologist prescribed me when is younger. does nothing
Never use shampoo
I wasn't implying that he should.
I don't know what that is or what's in it and I'm too lazy to look it up. There was a time where I'd use dandruff shampoos frequently and would get more dandruff a couple of days later.

idk Nizoral works for me
ketocarazon
Happens to me sometimes during the winter. At least for me moisturizer and taking lower temperature showers fixes it.

Even Google backs this.
So yeah, stop being a fricking shut in and get some fricking sun. You can’t live in a cave 24/7 and expect to be human.
>be me
>work outside in south central texas, including on roofs
>have permanently sunburned neck/face/scalp
>still have dandruff
???
the sun's rays must of course hit the spots, they should not be covered by hair and a cap
Wow, cool! So I can replace seborrheic dermatitis with skin cancer. Great!

I tried other brands but only nizoral werks for me, they probably mix in some unicorn cum or w/e that generic brands dont.
Cold showers + Neutrogena t-gel + Ketoconazole shampo is what fixed it for me
I also started buzzing my hair which helps too
won’t mixing those two shampoos dry your fricking scalp up
nah ive never had an issue with that
>put on ketoconazole
>scalp dries up
>put jojoba oil on
>problem solved
jojoba oil feeds the fungus moron
I think I've had a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis that flared up badly and worsended because of a singular coconut oil application. Don't feed the fungus
use tea tree oil instead of jojoba or coconut oil, it's a mild anti-fungal
>Neutrogena t-gel
Hate to tell you but it's been discontinued.
are you sure? I can still find it on Amazon here in australia, and I frequently see it at aldi. might just be in your c**t.

Do not fricking itch it will cause alopecia over time if you do especially when picking scabs
coal tar shampoo worked for me
also stopped using sea salt spray for my hair, seemingly fricked up my scalp on multiple occasions
stop eating carbs and it fixes itself
stop eating yeast
Selenium sulfide shampoo
move to a different climate for humidity
tea tree oil
I gave up years ago.
I just pick and eat the scabs.

the honest truth im afraid to admit as much is I hate big pharma and didnt take the covid shots
head & shoulders did it for me, no more dandrufs
Throw away all the "products" you use on your skin or hair. Try going carnivore for a couple of months. Probably will do the trick.
its your cheap shampoo
Where do you guys get ketozonale shampoo?
In the UK I used to be able to order direct off Amazon but its not listed anymore

just straight white vinegar? Do you mix it with anything else? Just add some olive oil and I will smell like salad dressing
Just the vinegar. Doesn't smell if you rinse it out well, unless you stick your nose in or something
literally nothing helps long term with this shit, you can only treat symptoms
clean shave all around

Only people i know that look like this are fat fricking alcoholics
Stop drinking
Stop being fat
Go outside, touch grass
Stop using ordinary oil. Apply MCT oil(c8 and c10) before sleeping, wash in the morning.
i always find aloe to be good
go see a dermatologist. he'll prescribe you some creams and it'll resolve it.
i have that + rosacea and now it's cleared up
How can I moisturize my scalp? I feel it’s very tight and sensitive after buzzing it up (every 4 days). Also the dead skin after buzz cut and shampoo is crazy
Have you tried going to the dermatologist
Fricking americans and their health system

fungus is not part of the human body, therefore a response to fungus is not autoimmune. what am I missing?
>fungus
Oils naturally occur on your body. Your skin produces them.
The only way to get rid of those oils would be to just rip off your skin.
Try showering regular, you stinky ape.
