Lucky. If I dont use specialized shampoo, I end up with some of the thickest dandruff you've ever seen, as well as the irritated, itchy skin that comes with it. That and my hair is way too thick to brush without product...or at all really, once it grows past a certain length. It is a practice in futility to even ideate, in my case.
Glad you found what works for you, but trying these things would be hellish for one of my needs lol
Almost sounds not like dandruff, but psoriasis. I have it on my scalp only. Tea Tree shampoos work for mine (head and shoulders type stuff is overly harsh). Sometimes it flares up badly and a medicated shampoo will clear it up.
Psoriasis does seem likely, though my last gp insisted that wasn't the case. Haven't asked the new one about it yet, but this is a good enough reminder ig.
And, while tea tree is most definitely where its at, head and shoulders does work fine for me. I dont really get flareups unless I skip a day or two of thoroughly washing. Not really an issue lately though since I've opted to just start keeping it shorter. It looks better long (imo at least), but life is just so much simpler this way.
scalp psoriasis is pretty silvery flakey skin on the scalp with redness surrounding it, my bro had it. if its excessively itchy it could be atopic dermatitis on the scalp rather than sebboric/
