Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I have been suffering with intensely itching scalp and hair loss since last December. My Dr. seems to think it is ezemia and prescribed a topical steriod. My bosston terrior had an infestation of ear mites and also had hair loss with itching in December. The vet gave her prednisone tablets for an allergy. I wash my hair most every day with a good herbal shampoo but the dr. says I have washed it too much and I should only do it twice a week as I am drying the matural oils. I wonder if I picked up something from my dog, as gross as that sounds. The topical lotion that costs $90 for 60ccs isn't helping. Can anyone come up with anything I can try? And does anyone think I caaught sometihng from my pet? You can't see anything, and the itching is fierce and feels like it is 'under' the scalp.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Save your money and get a good brand of Apple Cider Vinegar , warm a cup up and pour some all over your scalp and leave on for one hour then rinse off or make about about a 20% mixture with distilled water and leave on all day . http://frugalliving.about.com/cs/tips/a/blvinmed_4.htm Dan , " awayawayyyy " <awayawayyyy> wrote: > I have been suffering with intensely itching scalp and hair loss > since last December.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 A special thank you to those members who answered my post on hairloss and itching scalp. I will try the Apple cider vinegar AND the Garlic treatments both, on seperate occasions of course! Thanks again... ~away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
