Eczema Washing Detergent
Anyone have a remedy for scalp eczema besides cortisone lotions?
I have had an itchy scalp since I was in college. Doctor has given me Betamethasone Dipropionate Lotion for years or Diprolene. I think stress causes it since I am a male and tend to keep things in. I wake up in the middle of the night scratching my head. I have double washed my sheets and tried different detergents too. I have tried Indian herbal remedies, Nioxin shampoo, tea tree shampoos, tea tree oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E. I think it is my body's way of saying I'm a little stressed in life. What are your remedies?
The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and sea food which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I've turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use herbal remedies from serenaskin.com, which aims at the root of the disease - the immune system. This treatment controls my eczema very well.
After about 3 weeks of using ointment and spray my scalp cleared up and now I just continue with anti-eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My scalp has been clear for months now.
I'm very pleased with the results.
