mo ree uh asked:


I have a few problems with my skin. If you have any suggestions or reasons for anything please tell me. Im not sure if they are related.
-my body is itchy all over. its not a rash its just a little tingly itch in random places all over my body(arms, legs, and back are the itchiest) It gets really itchy in the shower but when i turn the water on hot it feels better because it feels like its almost scratching it. It has only been going on recently since its gotten cold. i don’t know if that is why it is itchy.

-I have horrible dandruff. its chunky and its worst at the back lower part of my head. the worst part is when i scratch it, it produces this gross sticky oil. Its not because im dirty. i wash my hair probably 6 times a week. ive tried washing it every other day or less for a while and it made no difference. i tried head and shoulders shampoo and it did nothing. (i also tried a store brand). Its actually been getting worse. behind my ears i get the little crusty gross thing and it gets that oily thing when i scratch it. Its not lice my mom has checked.

-my skin has always been really sensitive, especially around my face. i get flaky, puffy, red, itchy irritated eyelids and below my eyes. i tried using allergy medicine for a while and it did nothing. My whole face is so dry and i moisturize it twice a day. i tried not using any harsh soaps but it did nothing.

I’ve had dandruff and weird skin problems since I was 14, now I’m 18. Every morning I wake up, and my face is covered with dry skin, mostly near the eyebrows. Also, whenever I rub my face, the skin comes off and looks like dirt (but I wash it all the time, so it can’t be dirt). Most other places on my body, my skin is fine. I can wipe off the noticeable stuff from my face in the morning so that it is not a big deal. It’s the flakes in my hair that bother me. My scalp under my hair (I’m a boy) looks kind of like my forehead when I wake up in the morning, but even if I wash my hair and scrub hard, the flakes don’t go away, and they fall out throughout the day giving my gross white crumbs in my hair.

I’ve tried Head and Shoulders, Coal Tar, Nizoral, Baby Shampoo, Jason’s All Natural Shampoo, Tea Tree Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Baking Soda, T Gel… I’ve went through an entire bottle of all these and no relief! I’ve tried washing my hair more, less, not at all, with a little or a lot of shampoo, with only conditioner, and with cold water. I’ve tried not drinking milk and I’ve tried drinking a gallon of liquid every day. My diet is fairly healthy and I don’t consume too much sugar or fat.

What can I do?
Oh yeah, I also tried HydroCortisone on my face with no luck. I don’t think it’s eczema because my skin isn’t really irritated. However, my scalp itches a lot, especially when I sweat. I think I probably have seborrheic dermatitis, but the question is how do I get the flaking to go away or at least lessen? I’m desperate, as you can see.
