Thread: 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?

keep away from the dirty gurls

I used to have eczema on my hands which I got rid of by using cortisone creams. For years now I've always had a problem with psoriasis on my scalp (dead skin cells). My remedy for that is to wash my scalp with a tar based shampoo such as Neutrogena T-Gel. Perhaps you should give it a try for your eczema..it might work.
Good luck!
