If it isn't lice... Then you probably have dandruff/dry scalp? I read on the internet that an itchy dry scalp can be caused by some kind of bacteria and if you mix 1 part mouthwash and 8 parts water and then put it on when you have dry hair. You must rub in your scalp pretty well and wait 5 minutes before you rinse and wash your hair. It should get rid of your dry scalp. I tried it once and I thought it worked. Maybe the shampoos that you are using is drying out your scalp in your efforts to give it more moisture.

Coal tar might help.That's the active ingredient in Nutrogena T Gel.You can also try T Sal with salicylic acid to help the sloughing process and unclog the pores while removing dead skin cells.\nI'm surprised your doctor didn't recommend that you supplement selenium in tablet or capsule form.Selenium is linked to curing such ailments of the scalp as is vitamin C.C governs the circulation of your scalp along with some other vitamins.Biotin may also help as it's responsible for the health of the follicle.\nShen Min is a company I've used products from.They're primarily for thinning hair but have many more benefits.Do a search for that name and you'll get a few hits.\nThe fact of the matter is it sounds like psoriasis and not seborric dermatitis.You'll need to see a dermatologist if it is.

You may have dandruff for several reasons and there are many misconceptions about it...it might be a type of psorisis. Wikipedia has a better explanation than I can give you. A good dandruff shampoo (like Nizoral) should take care of it. You might switch hair products, too (don't use cheap hair gel.)

ok firstly wash your hair every 3days and make sure you dont use any other hair products such as creams or mouses or hairspray. the night before you wash your hair massage your head with coconut oils and leave overnight. use an intensive conditioner once a weak with wheat proteins in it... drink more milk and eat more protein foods . also stay away from hairbands that are tight... like elastics. keep doin this for a few mnths and youl notice an improvement! oh and dandruff.. use head and shoulders. trust me

Try using Head & Shoulders shampoo. If that doesn't help ask you doctor for a prescription for a stronger anti-danduff shampoo.

Keep for half an hour.\nDissolve 2 aspirins in any dandruff shampoo and wash your hair.\nMassage the scalp with almond oil. Dip a towel in boiling water and wrap it around the hair. Repeat it thrice or four times when the towel gets cold.\nMake a shampoo by mixing 100 g each of amla (Indian goose berry), reetha, and shikakai, and boil in two litre of water until the liquid reduces to half.

It could be caused by stress and your diet(if you eat alot of sugars and salts)......\njust keep looking for different shampoos and definietly condiditiors BUT the reason why you can't find one that 'works' is that you should NOT wash your hair EVERYday (no its not unsatitary or gross) it lets the NATURAL oils of the scalp absorb into the hair giving it hydration if you wash your hair everday then your drying out your scalp and not letting theses oils settle in try washing your hair every other day and retry some of the dandruff hair products b/c you might find them to work now if you follow the advice of how much to wash your hair (use hot/warm water also!). This has actually been helpful to alot of people that i've told. Remedies probably could be looked up on google...let me see....Aloe vera Thoroughly rub a thick gel of aloe vera leaves into the scalp; leave overnight; shampoo in the morning.\n\nApple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar will help restore the proper acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and kill a bacteria that clogs the pores that release oil to the scalp. The clogged pores result in scales and crusts being formed. Apply apple cider vinegar diluted 50% with water to the scalp and let dry. There is no need to rinse. Another similar remedy suggests pouring two tablespoons into a cup, applying the straight vinegar to the scalp, and leaving it on from 15 minutes to three hours before shampooing. Lemon juice may also be used. It is the acid in these remedies that helps bring the scalp back into chemical balance.\n\nCoconut oil Rub some pure coconut oil in your hair daily. The dandruff should clear up in a few days.\n\nGrapefruit seed extract Mix 7-10 drops with the normal amount of shampoo you use. Massage into your hair and leave on for at least 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with water, avoiding contact with eyes. \n\nListerine For mild cases of dandruff, use the mouthwash Listerine. It has antiseptic properties. Do not use on cases where the skin is broken as the Listerine can be irritating.\n\nIf any of this doesn't help see a doctor (best if a dermotologist)they can probably give great product and procedure advice. Good luck!\n\n***************If you found this helpful press "best answer" it will give points to both me and you. Thanks :)!**************

I had dandruff for ten-years and tried everything.\nI was down south and this guy told me it was from oil staying in around the base of the follicles and that if I'd scrub hard everywhich way and shampoo every day that the dandruff would go. It went away in a few weeks and no dandruff for 20 years....\nForget about special shampoo...

It must be something in your body's chemistry that is making your scalp smell.  What kind of shampoo do you use?\nMaybe you should switch to another brand.  If you are a woman, you can spray cologne/perfume around your hair and if you are a guy, you can do the same thin with your men's cologne.  LOL

I have some dandruff as well and this is what i do. You can buy this neat thing called an "scrub brush" from most stores that sell shampoo and other hair products. With some anti-shampoo and the scrub-brush, scrub your scalp and get all the dandruff you can off it then wash your hair with the shampoo repeat this daily and it should get rid of your problem pretty quickly.

If normal dandruff shampoos aren't doing it for you, you may have more than ordinary dandruff.\n\nTry a coal tar shampoo, available at pharmacies and most grocery stores. This will help with mild cases of "psoriasis" and "seborrhaic dermatitis".\n\nGood luck!

I got your solution, and it may be out of left-field. Your problem is not natural dandruff, but conditioner. Yes, you are suffering from buildup, not dandruff.\n\nMy solution is to condition once-a-week, and use CLARIFYING shampoo once a week. Condition your hair preferably after clarifying. \n\nHead & Shoulders and other dandruff shampoo like that clean the scalp, but the medicines in them may actually inflame and cause more dandruff.\n\nIf you follow what I just wrote, you are guaranteed to eliminate dandruff, providing you wash your hair regularly, of course.\n\nSuave sells clarifying shampoo for a buck and it works well.

My doctor rubbed some alcohol pads to release them, and clean most of the goop. She said just wash your hair with shampoo and it will get rid of the stuff. It did. I had no problem. I cant remember what kind of shampoo I used. I think any shampoo will do, I think they disolve with soap.

My son had this problem.  The dermatoligist told him to wash his hair with a dandruff shampoo.  Something to do with oil from his hair.  Has been several years since then, and he has no problems now.
