i'm a 27 year old female who has had scalp
problems for almost all of my life.
Shortly after birth the doctor told my mom
to rub my scalp with baby oil to remove
the scales. I don't remember anything
until third grade. I've had it ever since
without any repreive. For 19 years I have
not been able to get rid of it. I've been
on otc dandruff shampoos all my life.
Finally I went to the dermatologist about
six months ago, and he's had me on a
regimen of derma-smoothe oil, and two
corticosteroids (one shampoo, one
solution). They aren't working either.
He did a biopsy and ruled out psoriasis.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have
such thin hair and worry that i'm getting
more and more bald every day. I just want
my scalp to feel and look better. Thanks.
