Dry, Flakey scalp problems Help.

Post by cuebreeze » Thu Jul 30, 2009 5:03 pm

My skin on thinning areas has become really dry lately and when looking up close it looks very scaley. I havent been using topicals for a few months and only shampoo my hair now. Could it be firbosis? Im thinking i need to add something to my regimen. Has anyone noticed scaley mpb skin before regrowth? Im on lasers, mag oil, low dosing fin (which could be the cause as thats the only thing ive really changed in the last 3-4 months. I did start occluding 1.5months ago which was looking really good until recently too.

Anyway so im thinking ill maybe add olive oil over night for some moisture. Anyone got better suggestions?

Usually dry scalp is linked to an agressive shampoo like nizoral or so. I get it once in a while. Normally it should go away after a few days, unless you change your topical regimen.

btw, I've seen your pics. You never ever are a NW 3! :)

My dry scalp is mostly seb derm related, but I do find that using aloe gel keeps things from getting too crunchy. When things get particularly bad, I rub gobs of it in, and put a shower cap on over it for maybe 20 mins or so. To be honest, I love the stuff.
I currently use Propecia and i have a Laser comb, what do you guys suggest to use as a good daily shampoo? This HairGen is not going to grow hair cmon guys. Is Nioxin the best out there?
