Can anyone recommend me some shampoo

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have had seborrheic dermatitis since I was a teenager and I have always used a coal tar shampoo when I had an outbreak. My health has been pretty poor in the last 8 years and the dermatitis has flared up a lot more since I have been unwell. The coal tar shampoo no longer works, so I tried an anti fungal shampoo which doesn’t work. I asked at my local chemist if they could recommend something and they suggested this moogoo milk shampoo. I used it for about a week and a half before it started working but it really cleared up my scalp. Now my chemist doesn’t have any left so I have ordered some on line but it is from Australia so it will take forever to get here. In the meantime my scalp is really itchy not helped by all the humid weather. Can anyone recommend me another type of shampoo easier to get hold of in the meantime. None of the medicated ones work for me anymore.

    HI there,

    I am not sure where you are but in NZ a doctor prescribed a shampoo called Sebizole, it works quite well, not quite as well as Tar shampoos but I havent used those in years.

    Hope it helps.:-) Good luck.

    Hi. I know this is a pretty late response, but have you tried Tea Tree shampoo/conditioner? It is known to help with several skin conditions- including seborrheic dermatitis. It is a little expensive but it is a great shampoo, and you don't need a prescription for it. Good luck!

      Hi there. I second that Tea Tree shampoo and conditioners are worth trying even if you don't have several skin conditions. Though I admit it really helps with dermatitis and dandruff just as advised. It works even better when using it with coconut hair mask.
