Male, this condition has been going on for a long time but it’s now getting really bad. I don’t know what to do as I’ve seen dermatologists and they prescribed me ketoconazole shampoo and to use jojoba oil and lavender oil. I’m using these but it seems to just keep getting worse. I wake up the next morning after doing this treatment and all of the white stuff is back (it somewhat temporarily goes away while I’m doing the treatment), and my hair appears even thinner. It’s also really squeaky and stiff. My hairline is disappearing and all you can see is weird looking white stuff, visible under my hairline and coming down onto my forehead. It looks hideous. It feels like something is overtaking my scalp. What is happening. I’m desperate to reverse this condition and regrow my hair or at least get rid of the white stuff. Thanks
Hi, I think your best bet would be a mild or midstrength coal tar shampoo, used twice or thrice a week.
You can also talk to your dermatologist about using topical steroids you can apply to your scalp. Just be wary of steroids, because its like taking a sledgehammer to a pinata, but you’ll also see results quickly.
Don’t use any oils on your scalp. They won’t help, and in some cases they might even be terrible for you.
