One very helpful thing: no matter what shampoo you use, always rinse very well. VERY WELL. Soap and/or detergent residue can irritate the skin. Also, make sure you don't let hair stay damp too long, especially the nape of the neck where longer hair might sit on top and keep moisture there. Tie hair back and up when exercising and sweating, that's moisture, too. Good luck, everyone!

The time I experienced hairfall, I did all the following to successfully reduce it - .. Make a habit of doing massage for your scalp into your routine. .. Do not use very hot water when washing your hair. .. Shield your hair from excessive sweat. .. Use a dual tooth neem wood comb to brush out wet hair. .. Cut down on your sugar and processed food consumption. .. Use gentle hairfall control shampoo and hair oil like littleeextra cocconion. .. Maintain a positive mindset for overall well being.

[@RatneshTiwari-16]

I've tried this cocoonioon anti-hair fall shampoo that's really impressed me. It has a lovely smell and foams up nicely, leaving my hair feeling refreshed and clean. I've noticed less hair fall and breakage over time, which is a big win. It removes frizziness. It's become my go-to for stronger, healthier hair.

This is anecdotal, but it happened to me, and it may be useful to someone else. I experienced a horrific psoriasis flare that seemingly came out of nowhere. It was like having burns all over my body. I had been plagued by nummular eczema for over 30 years but never anything compared to this. My dermatologist prescribed heavy duty steroid ointments and diluted bleach baths. Those worked pretty well and at least diminished the acute symptoms by 85 to 90 percent, but left me with a revolting case of dandruff. The eczema was not affected. I tried all the commercial shampoos to no avail. Then a couple of months later I had another flare that was just as severe. We went through the same routine and got the flare under control again, but the dandruff was even worse. Then I read somewhere that processed meat aggravates psoriasis. I eat keto, and at the time I would say I ate bacon almost every day. I was also a big fan of prosciutto. Desperate to avoid another flare, I cut all processed meat out of my diet, and the psoriasis began to clear, and over the next three months vanished completely. Interestingly, so did the nummular 11:01 eczema. But the dandruff was still there. Then I saw a KZbin video by Eric Berg claiming an herbal method that would dramatically clear dandruff in a week to ten days. By now I was willing to stand on my head for a week if it would get rid of the dandruff. The remedy was very simple, but you have to endure oily hair (in my case, hidden under a bandanna) for a week. All I did was buy a jar of oregano oil capsules and a bottle of flaxseed oil and break one capsule into a tablespoon of flaxseed oil and rub it on my scalp every morning and leave it on all day. I washed it out every night and reapplied in the morning. That schedule worked for me as I’m retired, but I’m sure you could apply the oil after getting home from work and leave it on all night. I was not able to finish the weeklong protocol due to a medical emergency in my immediate family, but four days took care of it. At the end of the treatment only a tiny bit of flaking remained near my right ear, and it eventually went away. It’s been over a year now and I have not had even a hint of psoriasis, eczema, or dandruff. I also do not eat processed meats. I do continue to eat unprocessed meats, eggs, dairy, and even sugar with no ill effects to my skin or scalp. I realize this is an anecdotal experience, but my overall point is be open minded. Don’t assume that only pharmaceutical and commercial remedies will solve your issues. Look at your diet and investigate herbal remedies too. My dermatologist was thrilled that I figured out that processed meat brought on my psoriasis, but all I got in response to my dandruff cure was a stare as if I had told her I don’t believe in western medicine, which is not the case.

What should we do for seborrheic dermatitis? Please do a video!

[@zahee1968]

This video is about it

[@robertceron9056]

1. Eliminate the causes of dry, irritating hair, and fungi breeding ground (AC conditioning, shower too much, room temperature causing drying, products that cause irritation 2. Clean the sebum (flaky skin) off with filtered soft water/shower filter as hard water is rough only irritates the skin. 3. Once sebum is removed, use an antibacterial antifungal of choice. I use Aloe vera plant gel, I store plant gel in my fridge, and it treats the yeast. If you want more strength, mix in manuka honey, or just buy Wild Naturals Ezcema shampoo and conditioner (aloe vera main ingredient with manuka honey and orange oil.) 4. Make a routine to change filter for the shower or clean the filtered water pitcher you use. For face I just put Aloe vera after I removed sebum and goes directly on my skin Thats my routine, I had a flare up last month and this routine was the cure to the madness. Also made changes to my diet that reduces inflammation and promotes good bacteria. Some honorable mentions for supplements: Rosita Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil as it increases vitamin D A and omega 3 which are crucial for hair skin and nails.

[@Static_Gypsy]

I can vouch for the nizoral shampoo! Make sure you get the one with 1% ketoconazole ingredient. I cleared up all my scalp problems after two uses. I had terrible dandruff, dermatitis that was not only on my scalp but coming down into my face, and a couple of new psoriasis spots on my hairline on my neck. I had had the dandruff for years to the point where head and shoulders no longer made a difference, but the psoriasis was my tipping point. The shampoo took care of the fungi that can cause dandruff which is why it worked so well.

Skincare routine for peeps with eczema pretty please

[@robertceron9056]

Depending on the area, first clean the scalp and have that yeast less of home to live in as the buildup can spread below. My go to routine is very simple and afforable and leaves me with compliments. At night apply Aloe vera face and hair once cleaned properly, in the morning cerave sunscreen with moisturizing spf30, filtered water reverse osmosis. CeraVe moisturizing cream is good for your body but dont recommend it for face. So basically 2 products Suncreen and moisturizer, if you want antiaging, add some rosehip extract and you got it. This skincare is good for those with dry skins. depending on skin swap CeraVe product for oily faces.

I even had a ridiculous react all over my body to lavender >.> LAVENDAR of all things?!?! It was a terrible situation there.

Was looking for this question. That’s what I understood too…but when they said, rotate, did they mean, first time you wash your hair, you use X and then the next time (on another day) use the other X product? Also, you know how you wash hair twice, do we use one of the products here, and then use our normal shampoo, or do we just hold off on normal shampoo until everything is calm?

how often we should wash our hair if we have dandruff???

[@CJoyGaming]

Hey I was wondering if it’s okay to use the salicylic acid treatment for the scalp and then use another shampoo that does not target getting rid of dandruff. Or if I can use Nizoral and then another shampoo not targeting dandruff.

[@skyejacques]

I usually do that as my hair needs proper moisture being curly. Once or twice with the dandruff or clarifying shampoo and then once with my moisturising shampoo and then conditioner. Mind you I don't wash every day

[@ayemad]

Me too. I use Nizoral shampoo and then a clarifying one also after.

Hey @doctorly, I have video experience! You guys have a ton of options when it comes to lighting and sound, but always remember to keep light in front of you, not above or behind you’ll look weird and washed out! And for sound if you want to do like a boom mic type of thing that way you don’t get audio. And put a fluffy or foam cover on it so you don’t get any external noises.

Can seborrheic dermatitis lead to thinning of hair and block growing of hair completely? Also do you take online appointments in US since we can't travel right now due to COVID?

[@jesserivera9973]

I would also like to know this. Because I’ve noticed my scalp is getting worse and my hair is thinning and falling out.

Please make a video on dark underarms. 1. Why people get dark underarms. 2. Which hair removal method should be followed for preventing dark underarms. 3. Treatments and product recommendations for dark underarms.

[@SteffyRodriguezAgredo]

don’t shave lol it makes your armpits appear dark because of the thick hair follicles growing back. although some people do have pigment there, for that i am not sure the cause but if you shave it might be why. i switched to waxing and my armpit is so light now

[@kellz6266]

is it more effective if you leave the shampoo on for 5 minutes or more?

[@CRM480]

I struggled with BAD dandruff on my face, ears, eyebrows and TZone. Literally the first time I got prescribed and used Ketoconazole shampoo ,it completely disappeared!!! Do it!

[@aligerstenberger7824]

Can you guys do a deodorant video for sensitive skin? My underarms are super rough and bumpy and when I apply regular antiperspirant it makes my underarms itchy and red. Are probiotic deodorants better? Help 🙏🏼

[@Loostyc]

Use a fragrance-free antiperspirant at night and wash it off in the morning. Or you can actually let it sit on the skin only for about an hour or two and then wash it off. You don't need to do this every day, the effect lasts two or three days.

[@2991jr]

What would to be the daily routine? And how long should we use it? You are the best

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

How often do you recommend using Nizoral + T/Sal? I normally wash my hair every other day. Don’t have dandruff but I do get some flaking very often. I’ve tried the T/Sal before and works wonderfully but I only use like once a week. Now that you suggested using these two combined I want to try it but I do have my hair bleached so I’m very careful with what shampoo I use since I don’t want to damage my hair anymore. Please advise.

[@Misbahmulla]

Washing your hair every other day honestly, is not a safe decision. Your scalp keeps itself clean for a good time so washing every alternate day strips off your natural oils.

I double cleansed my scalp because I had a lot of product build up and when I got out the shower to style my curls I noticed flakes on my roots/hair strands/comb. I itch my scalp here and there. Could it be product build up? Dandruff from oily scalp or dry scalp from double cleansing 😣 how do I know.

Can potassium ermanganate dil solutions cure dandruff?

[@choochd]

When my Sebhorreic Dermatitis first began it was immediately susceptible to Nizoral (Ketoconazole 1%). After a single use my scalp cleared. As the SD returned it became more and more resistant to the shampoo. Ignorantly, during lockdown I decided to hop on the no-poo/low-poo trend and only shampooed 1 x week. My condition worsened eventually spreading to my face and inside my ears over the next year. During the winter of 2021 it was the worst yet. I sought medical attention at which point my doc prescribed 2% Ketoconazole shampoo, 200 mg Ketoconazole p.o, Betamethasone ointment for my scalp and Pimecrolimus cream. I believe the oral Ketoconazole was what worked most quickly and effectively. Within days my face cleared and my scalp improved and I finished up my 90 pills. From March - July I was doing well...then August hit. Board exams, residency applications, and back to school scaries got me, plus sweating under N-95s all day in clinic caused me to break out. It is now mid-Sept 2022 and my SD has never been worse. I refilled my Ketoconazole pills and have been shampooing with Keto 2% every day (i leave it on my scalp for at least 5 mins before washing), and using the Vanicream Z-bar for my face. I am also taking minocycline for acne, as well as Retin-A, benzoyl peroixide, 2% AHA, and LED mask therapy every day. My acne has cleared but the seborrheic dermatitis just won't quit. I am at my witts end and just want the scaly red patch off of my damn face and my scalp to not look like an inflamed, molting, iguana. Can anyone help me? I should also add I have tried SA and T-gel to no avail.

[@SkyXWalker-SW]

I used ketoconazole, Tsal, tea tree oil but after a while everything stopped working, now I use vasu trichup herbal shampoo and sometimes meera powder herbal shampoo, also drinking lots of water and salads helped, though I never stopped eating carbs this helped, now I wash hair and workout accordingly every other day without feeling inflammation n itchiness.

[@arianepalacio2799]

Same here. Nizoral helped initially, then COVID hit and I had 2 kids in 18 months, so I was down to 1 wash a week... result, a HORRIBLE SD that wouldn't respond to anti fungal shampoo. I went back to washing my scalp every other day and use head and shoulders. Getting slowly better. Also, I am starting to incorporate glucolic acid (the ordinary 7%) once a week. It seems to work. So far. Good luck!

[@Nick-kf3io]

It's possible you have a biofilm that is preventing the active ingrediebts from penetrating. Seek out selenium sulfide shampoo to destroy the biofilm then start using Nizoral again. Ideally alternate them

I have a question, can you use 100% squalene for your scalp? Will that help with controlling and restoring the balance of your scalps environment.

[@emelouvalderama]

Thanks for making this video! I’ll definitely try these products!

[@aliciaaragon4400]

Hello! First, thank you for this video and for all of your free information! I have a question, If I have dandruff is this a life long problem? Am I always going to have to use these shampoos? I have used head and shoulders and it works but it drys out my hair so, I was wondering if there was more of a long term solution or will I just have to deal with this forever? Thank you!

[@dedina7389]

I have the same exact question bc I prefer to use shampoos from my salon (bc they make my hair so soft and shiny) but those don’t treat dandruff! I’m worried I’ll have to choose between nice hair or no dandruff lol

[@adriannabroussard5241]

Seborrheic dermatitis affecting your scalp aka dandruff is quite prone to recurring if you stop treatment (aka stop your shampoo). I do have a friend that uses Dove dryness & itch relief shampoo which has zinc pyrithione (same active ingredient as Head & Shoulders). My friend has eczema and the head & shoulders didn’t help due it drying out their skin. Dove has been the only product that has worked for them so far. They also don’t shampoo everyday to help avoid dry hair.

[@YourDailyDoseofAnime]

[@EnneagramOne]

For years, I thought that I had dandruff. But, eventually, I realized that I had an allergy/sensitivity to SLS! Once I got rid of all SLS products, my flakes went away. And once I realized that my toothpaste had SLS (and found an SLS-free toothpaste), I no longer had a problem with canker sores.

[@skyejacques]

SLS and most chemicals are pretty toxic sigh

What is SLS ?? Someone plz tell me
