I tried the no shampoo thing for a month. The result was extremely scaly, itchy scalp. So I used Ketoconazole + shampoo once. (Ketoconazole can cause dryness, flakes and hairfall; so I used very little of it). Had some dryness and some hairfall following the wash. The next two weeks were without shampoo. Now I intermittently use a "mild" shampoo like Johnsons baby shampoo every week or so and my seborrheic dermatitis is much better. So the nopoo thing is not so bad.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoMy sister and I both suffered from dandruff while living near Santa Cruz, California. And we both found that it magically went away when we moved. When I grow out facial hair, there's a particular spot on my upper lip that starts to flake, which I also think of as "dandruff". Kept shaven, it's asymptomatic. Basically, there seem to be many mysterious causes and effects involved.
- gojomo 13y agoI'm curious: was your residence in Santa Cruz a misty/mold-conducive environment? What's the climate and household like where you moved to?
- thaumasiotes 13y agoFoggy, yes. We moved to various places -- Philadelphia, Shanghai, Costa Rica, Brazil. I can only really speak for Shanghai, which is incredibly hot with about 100% humidity in the summer (I have seen water pool on the floor of my building, just because there was so much in the air) and 1-4 degrees centigrade in the winter. I've never thought of it as misty. Don't move to Shanghai for the weather.
