very bad dandruff or somthing worse on scalp, how can i get rid of it?!

You guys all seem to have the same basic problem of crusty dead skin being held together by sebatious oil and forming crusty lumps in your scalp, which become inflamed and infected when you scratch or pick at them. 

The simple answer is dont scratch or pick them at all.

My advices is to pour one pint of brown vinigar into your hot bath water and submerge the whole of your body in it for 20 minutes then use a normal coal tar soap to wash your hair at least four times then use the coal tar soap with a loofa or a normal green kitchen scaring pad to wash your body.

You will be amazed at how much dead skin will come off of you and out of your hair.

The brown vinigar will disolve the sebatious oil and remove all of the flaking skin within a few baths in this way.

Then rinse yourself in the shower and dry as normal.

Having dealt with the fungal infections by using the brown vinigar rub golden Listerine into your scalp to kill any bacteria and leave it on until your nest bath.

The main thing to do is resiste scratching and picking at the crust as this action is what puts the bacteria into the wounds.

If you have athletes feet that have a stong smell, put a quarter of a pint of the brown vinigar into a bowl of water and soak your feet in it every night for a week.  Apply a fungacidal cream such as Daktacort and use a fungal powder in your socks and shoes.

A teaspoon full of Daktacort can be placed in the palm of the hand and wet with water and applied to the scalp after the hair has been wased to help further kill any fungus infection.

Dont forget to do inside and around the ears as the psorisis can get in their too.

In bad cases the above has to be done every day.

I have the problem and im 11 i really only remeber etting it when i was 10 bc i moved from ny to ireland. I had stopped picking at my scalp but the habbit has come back! Most of my friends just ask me" do you have sand in your hair?" and i get so embarrased! My mom puts this cocois stuff in my har and it smells SO BAD !! She used to make me go to school with it in and i used to feel ashamed. A couple of nites my head would go tight and numb so i scratched it with a fork and key and it started bleeding. My mom brought me to the hospital. And the checked my scalp and told me i had dry skin on my scalp. Thts when they told me to put the cocois oil in. I asked my mom to stop. She did, and now i dont no what to do! It bugs me alot and putss my self esstemm down. What should i do?

I had the exact same problem for about two years, these things on my scalp were so thick and tight, they were more like dry grey scabs that bled or sometimes just clear liquid would weep from them when I picked and trust me I did. I used everything over the counter even used rx stuff from my Dr. Nothing and I mean nothing worked!..until I used ( bear w me now) CRISCO,MAYONNAISE and EGGS!! Iknow it sounds disgusting and crazy but it worked immediately! I let it sit under shower cap for a couple hours then as I shampooed and kinda scratched, all of the scabs loosened and fell off and I haven't had it since. My fiance had the same problem until last week when he finally let me use my " concoction" on him. Just like me his scabs fell off and his scalp and hair are super healthy looking..not a flake in sight for either of us! TRY IT if nothing else your hair will shine for weeks and your scalp will get some much appreciated oil and protein :)

I had something like this just as bad.  I'd scratch it all the time until it was raw and bled.  Zinc in shampoo can help some.  My doctor gave me a medicated shampoo that helped when I was little.  I'll have to see what that was.  And I shampoo twice and take a hairbrush into the shower with me to get some of the flakes stuff and tangles out before drying it.  Shower everyday at least once a day.  And if you scratch, try to use your finger pads not your fingernails so that you don't cause stuffs to flake off as fast.

hi,i'm currently facing the same problem that you had.i am fed with my hair loss
and my scalp is in a pretty bad state.i would like you to post more information about
the medications you had undergone during that terrible experience.please do this..
i'm desperate and seriously condidering hair trasplantation!!

what is crisco? :)

you guys the Docters are so misdiagosing this. Good chance it is scalp scabies. almost have to have invermectrin antiobiotic you may have to take 3 doses at least seven to ten days aprt to get rid of it.

i also have same problem should i shave my head and would it affect if i shave my head?

 

i also have same problem should i shave my head cause many people says it would become normal then?

 

I am 16 and I had really bad dandruff and my doctor told me to put potroliam jelly in my here every night before I went to bed. It stopped the dandruff but whenever I did it my hair smelt really bad even when I washed it out

i find head an shoulders quite good and for the pillow smell just change you pillow case at least once a day and wash the actual pillow at least once a week. :) hope it works :)

i have that same problem but what i do is i wash my hair 2 times a day. also when im in the shower in the morning i wash my hair then do the same with conditioner then i do the same with dandruff shampoo and conditioner. it really helped me and i dont have that much dandruff or the scabs and also the smell is verry faint( i use kiwi shampoo and conditioner and it really helped alot and i can bairly smell the horrible smell)

I also heard apple cider vinegar is good for dandruff. You rinse your hair with it after shampooing - leave on for a few minutes and rinse it out. I also read an article that dandruff is not caused from washing your hair to often, as a matter of fact the article siggests washing your hair everyday until you get the dandruff under control then begin spacing it out to every other day.

I have a similar problem only mine don't itch. I'm in college and I am really embarrassed and scared right now. Me and my friends were fixing each other's hair for a dance we are having in the recreation room(kinda like a gym only with pool tables and other games). Anyways, my friend saw blood as she was doing my hair and they went off in secret and thought I wasn't washing it and had dandruff! My closest friend here who I hang out with everyday told them that she saw me go take a shower and smelled the shampoo as I was washing. And after they told me that I freaked out and went to the medical office. They told me just to leave it alone and let it heal but I have had this problem for a while. It bleeds so easy and my hair is ALLOT different that other girls. Mine has straight hair growing over my curly hair and it is extremely thick. So it is hard enough to take care of it anyways. It is SCARING me, and my friends really hurt my feelings when they talked like that behind my back thinking I don't take care of my hair when I do. I need help! My friend who is the one who was doing my hair said that she doesn't know what is wrong with my hair and she took hair styling school. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS HELP!!!!!

I have the same problem, have dandruff since high school, although it comes ang goes, tried using Nizoral, Selsun Blue, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar to no avail, until I discovered Cotrimoxazole antibacterial suspension, its just a generic OTC brand less than 30 pesos, pour some Cotri on a saucer and using a cotton ball swab it on your scalp, leave it on your scalp as long as you want before taking a shower, do this for a couple of days. It worked for me.
