Start looking into skin mite info. I think the stop skin mites has a good program. I have had this problem too for years. First time getting a really handle on it by doing various skin mite protocols.
Same!!!!!! I am the EXACT SAME WAY
I'm 13 and I do the same thing!!!!! I thought I was alone! :O I like scratching it and watching the flakes fall down on a black surface
22 and I've been doing this as well. I pretty much have similarities with everyone's posts. I like to scratch my hair and pick out all the dandruff while watching tv or doing homework. And it feels so good watching it collect on a black surface. But also, I've considered something quite nasty, which is to collect all of the dandruff in a bucket.
this is too funny! Same here

I thought I was the only one... I want to cry I'm so happy I'm not alone in this. It's not something you feel like you can talk about to anyone. I've dealt with it for about 8 years now too. It used to be REALLY bad when I was in high school and since then it's gotten better but I still can't stop. I feel like I need to get them all off and I want to see them all collect on a dark surface. Then I feel bad about it after because it ruins my hair, hurts my neck and back from leaning over, and makes me feel crappy overall. The thing is I don't think I would do it if I didn't see the flakes collecting. The itchiness wouldn't even bother me if the flakes weren't a factor. This is something I have really really struggled with and I'm so glad I'm not alone. Thank you to everyone who was brave enough to share.
Can I pay you to scratch my scalp? Please lmk if your interested I'll give u my email
Your location would help!!
I love to pick at my dandruff scabs and i do it almost every single day and do it at home and at school I can not believe i am so addicted to doing it.
O. My. God. I do it to. I'm a 15 year old girl. I thought I was all alone. I scratch my head all the time, even when it doesn't itch. It's just an unconscious habit. I go around my scalp and search for bumps then pick at them. Then I eat the scabs. I know it's disgusting and bad for me, but it's just plain compulsive to scratch!
Any tips to STOP?
Any tips to STOP?
Why stop if you enjoy scratching your head for dandruff? Just be careful if you are creating scabs because when you go for a haircut and the hairdresser catches a healed scab with his/her comb it hurts like crazy, the last time my hair dresser caught a scab my head was jolted as the scab caused resistance. It was hard not to swear with the pain!
Omg I'm so glad I'm not the only one lmao I love doing it to myself and other people
I often wonder, do black people have black/grey dandruff or is it white?
Omg I have this exact some thing!! I just sit there scratching just to see the dandruff flakes pile up. It's actually gotten to the point where there are a few small spots that bleed because they are so irritated.. I know it's becoming a problem
