Scalp Only
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2006 12:07 am
[code] Hi - so I've had this for years and years...i have it on my eyelids which is pretty easily cleared up with a perscription cortizone cream. my elbows have small patches, but they don't bother me much...however almost the entirety of my scalp is covered in it - it is a constant embarrassment. beacuse i don't have this noticably anywhere else on my skin people think that i have really really bad, gross dandruff. sometimes i can't wear my hair up and i certainly could never have pigtails or anything like that. sometimes i can't even part my hair at all. i have used a ton of different shampoos and percription ointments and really nothing works. i have been reading a lot of other posts talking about the good and bad of certain drugs and herbalists etc... i am getting really anti-social which isn't ok in my field and it is causing me to start dressing really frumpy (also not ok). i am going to a new dr today and i guess i'm just looking for some advice. i am willing to try anything but what worries me are all these people saying that things come back worse. oh - and everyone is talking about triggers...i find that weather and season changes effect mine. especially in sf where our weather can change drastically in a day or so. thanks for any help.[/code]
