Is it psoriasis, dermatitis, or just plain dandruff? Is on on exposed skin or just your hair?\n\nThe easiest answer without knowing your exact condition is this...\n\n1. Use a coal tar shampoo on your scalp (Like T-Gel) or similar dandruff products which can be bought at Walmart...\n\n2. Don't use conditioner all the way down to the roots...(Makes it worse)\n\n3. Getting some sunshine helps dandruff and  psoriasis...May I recomend a local pool? The chlorine seems to help too...\n\nIf the problem still persists very badly or covers a large portion of your body then you should see a dermatologist so they can give you prescription treatments...

I've been a licensed cosmetologist for 7 years, you need to use Nioxin Scalp Therapy, It's a cleanser for you scalp and it feels magnificent after the first use, the shampoo is great too. It's a bit costly, but these are professional products and you get what you pay for. You can buy this at Cost Cutters, Fantastic Sams or other professional salons.

It could be caused by stress and your diet(if you eat alot of sugars and salts)......\njust keep looking for different shampoos and definietly condiditiors BUT the reason why you can't find one that 'works' is that you should NOT wash your hair EVERYday (no its not unsatitary or gross) it lets the NATURAL oils of the scalp absorb into the hair giving it hydration if you wash your hair everday then your drying out your scalp and not letting theses oils settle in try washing your hair every other day and retry some of the dandruff hair products b/c you might find them to work now if you follow the advice of how much to wash your hair (use hot/warm water also!). This has actually been helpful to alot of people that i've told. Remedies probably could be looked up on google...let me see....Aloe vera Thoroughly rub a thick gel of aloe vera leaves into the scalp; leave overnight; shampoo in the morning.\n\nApple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar will help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and kill a bacteria that clogs the pores that release oil to the scalp. The clogged pores result in scales and crusts being formed. Apply apple cider vinegar diluted 50% with water to the scalp and let dry. There is no need to rinse. Another similar remedy suggests pouring two tablespoons into a cup, applying the straight vinegar to the scalp, and leaving it on from 15 minutes to three hours before shampooing. Lemon juice may also be used. It is the acid in these remedies that helps bring the scalp back into chemical balance.\n\nCoconut oil Rub some pure coconut oil in your hair daily. The dandruff should clear up in a few days.\n\nGrapefruit seed extract Mix 7-10 drops with the normal amount of shampoo you use. Massage into your hair and leave on for at least 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding contact with eyes. \n\nListerine For mild cases of dandruff, use the mouthwash Listerine. It has antiseptic properties. Do not use on cases where the skin is broken as the Listerine can be irritating.\n\nIf any of this doesn't help see a doctor (best if a dermotologist)they can probably give great product and procedure advice. Good luck!\n\n***************If you found this helpful press "best answer" it will give points to both me and you. Thanks :)!**************

Try rinsing your hair with apple cider vinegar after\neach shampooing. Massage it in to your scalp. The smell goes away after hair is dryed. Your hair will be nice and shiny and it will tackle the dandruff problem. This works well.

A natural remedy for dandruff? I'd love to have that. I dunno...maybe aloes or aloe vera? That natural substance from the plant seems to help cure alot of maladies under the sun.\n\nIn the meanwhile, I use a product called TOP BRASS and it "helps control even severe dandruff problems as it keeps hair groomed."

There are some really good shampoos that can control that.  Try T-Gel or T-Sal from (Nurtagina) sorry about the spelling.  By the way, don't scratch with any thing.  That can damage your scalp, causing more problems.

http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/dandruff.htm\n\nHow do we remove dandruff faster than it is produced? Obviously, shampooing more often, going from every-third-day to daily or every-other-day shampooing is the simplest solution to mild dandruff. All shampoos have some detergent action and may be more effective if used more often. Another trick in treating bad dandruff is to leave the shampoo in prolonged contact with the scalp. For example, wash hair, rinse, and reapply shampoo, then apply a shower cap for 30-60 minutes, then do a final rinse.\n\nIf this isn't successful then consider "dandruff' shampoos."  Let us examine how each of the major shampoo categories works, with some pros and cons: \n\n+ Zinc pyrithione shampoos like Suave Dandruff Shampoo, Zincon, or Head and Shoulders have been shown to reduce Pityrosporum yeast and help mild dandruff and seborrhea. \n\n+ Tar-based shampoos like T-Gel, Z-Tar, Ionil T, Sebutone, and Tegrin inhibit turnover of cells  (mitosis). They smell "earthy" and take many applications to work. These may reduce itch. \n\n+ Salicylic acid shampoos like T-Sal, Ionil, and Sebulex mobilize scale or chemically scrub your scalp. Complaints about these are that they may be harsh and leave the scalp dry, leading to more flaking (a cream rinse following this type of shampoo often solves dryness problems). \n\n+ Selenium-sulfide-based shampoos like Selsun or Exsel are usually used 2-3 times a week for 5-10 minutes. Selenium sulfide kills yeast and inhibits cell turnover. \n\n+ Ketoconazole/Nizoral shampoo was introduced because of its anti-yeast effects.  It is about equal to zinc shampoos, though it may work when other agents fail.  It has a pleasant scent.  Its prescription strength is 2% and the over-the-counter form is 1% which is adequate for most cases.  \n\nAny shampoo may work when another fails. It is important to experiment.

Dandruff is nasty and resistant,but is curable. There are many brands of shampoos,lotions etc which guarantee you 100% removal of the dandruff. Unfortunately,mast of them are just advertisement. I would propose you to try the new formula of Head and Shoulders with Actizink formula and ocean minerals.It's not expensive and works. I used alsoNizoral,which contains ketoconazole and fights activelly dandruff.if you find that ani-dandruff medical shampoo,you can try it.There are also natural solutions,like applying a masks with Olive oil,humma etc. Dandruff iften occurs when there is a Vitamin deficity ,so take regularly your Vitamins..and let me know if that now work,I'll propose you other..Good luck!!

Maybe it is due to season change or just the wrong selection of shampoos.(visit a dermotologist)You can use a soap shampoo if the dermatologist says that its shampoo.

Try using Head & Shoulders shampoo. If that doesn't help ask you doctor for a prescription for a stronger anti-danduff shampoo.

It must be something in your body's chemistry that is making your scalp smell.  What kind of shampoo do you use?\nMaybe you should switch to another brand.  If you are a woman, you can spray cologne/perfume around your hair and if you are a guy, you can do the same thin with your men's cologne.  LOL

A CURE FOR\nDANDRUFF!\n \n\nYes, I did "cure" mine and so have many others using a substance that most people have at home.\n\n\n\n \n\nWhat Is Dandruff?\nFollowing are some the definitions I have come across:\n\nDandruff is a bothersome problem sometimes thought to be associated with inefficient hair care. Nothing could be further from the truth - anyone who has dandruff knows that!\n\n\nIf you're troubled by dandruff, that snowy, dust-like stuff that falls from scalp to shoulders, you're not alone: Nearly everyone has dandruff to some degree. But care must be taken not to confuse simple dandruff with other conditions that also cause flaking of the scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitisor psoriasis.\n\nDandruff occurs when the scalp sheds dead epidermal (skin) cells in large clumps. Dandruff scales appear dry, white or grayish, appearing as small, unsightly patches, especially on top of the head.\n\nScalp cells replenish themselves in a pattern similar to that of hair, but more rapidly: The skin of the head renews itself about once a month. Dead scalp cells are constantly being pushed from the deepest layer of the epidermis to the skin's surface, where they gradually die. Usually the scalp sheds them in a nearly invisible way. But for reasons that are still unclear, cell turnover sometimes becomes unusually rapid, and dead cells are shed as the visible flakes called dandruff. Although most people assume dandruff comes from a dry scalp, the opposite is true: People with oily scalps tend to suffer most from dandruff.\n\n"This may be due to an oily scalp supporting the growth of yeast in the scalp, which is thought to be instrumental in the development of scaling and scalp irritation," says Joseph P. Bark, M.D., chairman of dermatology at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington, Ky. "A large preponderance of males have dandruff, which may suggest some role of androgen hormones in dandruff."\n\nBark says that dandruff has its bright side: If the scalp doesn't shed its dead skin cells, the human scalp would be tremendously thick. "But when the cell turnover goes too far and increases, then you get not only visible excess scaling, but redness and itching," he says. "Redness and itching is actually seborrheic dermatitis, and it frequently occurs around the folds of the nose and the eyebrow areas, not just the scalp."\n\nSometimes itching of the scalp is also experienced. Dandruff is a very common problem. The most common cause is probably a small skin fungus, previously known as Pityrosporum ovale, now renamed Malassezia furfur. The fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with dandruff. The fungus likes fat, and is consequently found most on skin areas with plenty of sebaceous glands: on the scalp, face and upper part of the body. When Malassezia furfur grows too rapidly, the natural renewal of cells is disturbed and dandruff appears with itching. \n\nDandruff is made up of bits of dead skin that peel away from the scalp as a result of the effects of metabolism. Normally, dandruff, in its early stages of growth, is not visible to the naked eye. It becomes visible only after enlarging into pieces of dead skin (what we normally call "dandruff") as a result of the propagation of bacteria and/or problems with seborrhoeic scalp conditions. Persons suffering from prolonged dandruff are said to have a dandruff ailment. This type of ailment, accompanied by itchiness, can lead to eczema if it worsens.\n\n \n\nSome suggested causes for dandruff:\nContrary to the old wives tales, dandruff isn't caused by too much shampooing or dry skin. It is triggered by overactive oil glands, food allergies, stress, excessive perspiration, or harsh shampoos.\n\nThere is a common misconception that dandruff is caused by scalp skin being too dry. Hence some people avoid washing their hair, believing that the drying effect of shampoo will worsen t
