When asked to described eczema scalp to someone who as never seen or heard of the disease you might say something like, "take the worst dandruff you can imagine, multiply by 10, then add a greasy overgrowth and scales that flake over time. "

The usual response is one of amazement as most people don't realize there is such as disease. It's incredibly difficult to treat because of the combination of oil and dried irritation. Many people who are dealing with the disease have likely tried shampoos like Selsem Blue or Head and Shoulders, and these may help minimally, but you really need something stronger if you are going after the symptoms.

One shampoo that our users consistently mention as being helpful is DSD Mineral Shampoo. You can read more by clicking here. But of course, we at eczema-free.org are strong believers in treating the cause, and not just the symptoms.

One of the best books that talks about this is Susan Clark's Beat Eczema. You can visit her website by clicking here, or if you would like to read our overview of the book, please check out this page.
