flaky scalp with raised bumps and soreness

I have been losing my hair for some years Now it is getting worse. I have a underactive thryoid also a stressful job which I guess does not help but the last 5 weeks my head has been really itchy. and big lumps appearing like scabs.

Its so embarassing as I serve the public I cannot wear a hat all the while. My doctor had prescribed a shampoo and Betonavate which I apply twice daily. Its done no good what so ever.

Answer

Val,

What you have is scalp dermatitis. The lumps and scabs are from the "weeping" effect of the patches of dermatitis which secrete fluid and then it dries creating the scabs/lumps.

You subconsciously scratch them making them itch that much more.

Shampoo won't clear it up in most cases since the active ingredients aren't in contact long enough to be effective.

We have formulated FDA approved active ingredients to treat dermatitis, (zinc pyrithione and tea tree oil) in our therapeutic hair gel.

This keeps the active ingredients in constant contact with your scalp providing around the clock treatment.

Simply apply like a normal styling gel working into your scalp a bit with your fingertips. After washing your hair is best since it is easier to work in, but not absolutely necessary.

If you don't like the hold just run a comb or brush through your hair after it sets.

Use daily until your scalp clears up. (usually a couple of days) You can continue to use daily or when ever you see your symptoms returning.
