It’s Snowing In Scalp-Land

]]> Last week, I decided to come off the pill and oh joy, my dandruff is back. It seems to have been under control these last few months, but over the last few days I’ve had the classic itchy scalp and flakes again. My apple cider vinegar and andiroba oil pre-rinse is preventing all-out disaster, but I may have to do a post-rinse as well.

Of course, it could be the sudden turn in the weather that’s doing it (boy is it nippy!), or the fact that most solutions I find stop working after a while. Looking back at my diary, I see that I used the vinegar with ylang-ylang to good effect earlier in the year, so perhaps I will switch back to that and see how it goes.

I’m off to the doctor later today to see about this rash on my face. While it sometimes calms down overnight, it’s just not going away. I intend to continue using natural products to treat it (the hydrocortisone wasn’t enough anyway), but I would like to get the doctor’s opinion on what it actually it.

Or maybe it’s caused by by spider bites. OK, I’m kidding, but I woke up to find one crawling up my neck last night. Have I ever mentioned that I hate spiders?

The Dandruff Is Back

]]> Well, my biggest skin problem at the moment is my excessive dandruff. I’ve just about managed to keep it under control, except for times like today. When the weatherman said to expect snow, this is not what I hoped to see. So, I’m going to have to bring out the big guns and use the T/Gel. It’s not natural, but sometimes I have no choice – not if I want to go out in public anyway. On a bad day though, even the T/Gel doesn’t do the trick. Or the Nizoral.

It’s so bad sometimes that I get really depressed. Even if the flakes aren’t visible, I get the itching and can feel the roughness if I massage my scalp. Often it appears around my ears and on my nape too. I’m really hoping that one day I’ll find the shampoo that will send it packing for good.
