That’s interesting as I’ve got thick hair and get an itchy scalp but always assume it’s the shampoo and change to another. I don’t get the hot scalp though. I wonder why thick hair causes it?!I went to the doctors yesterday so she could examine my scalp
She said she couldn't see any signs of 'disease' so doesn't think it's eczema or psoriasis etc but that it's probably because I have thick hairI've had thick hair all of my life and never had any scalp issues
I've been prescribed a treatment with a steroid in it to use twice a day for 2 weeks, sorry can't remember the name of it as it was out of stock in the pharmacy so I am going back today to collect it. She said it can only be used for 2 weeks as it thins your skin so that sounds promising
The doctor said if the treatment she's given me doesn't work she's going to give me Dandrazol to try

I've just picked up my prescription and it's something called Betacap
Strange she didn't think it was psoriasis etc but this is what Betacap is for:To be honest I think it's a cop out from the doctor.

I know! I was reading the leaflet and all it talks about is how it’s for skin conditions. I’ll give it a try and see how I get on.
I’ve also ordered child's farm strawberry and mint shampoo
Nitrizol is antifungal so treats a lot of stuff, I have terrible scalp issues - I use this when it flairs up and Keratase Bain dermo calm.
