Itching and dandruff symptoms?

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

I have the symptoms of dandruff, itchy scalp with slightly larger flakes, and I have tried just about every dandruff shampoo and remedy I can find. It has gotten to the point where I get sores that scab over and will occasionally leak a clear liquid into my hair. It now keeps me from sleeping due to the constant itchy feeling. I don't have insurance so a dermatologist is out of the question and I don't know what to do.

see if you want a good solution you have to meet a dermatologist. Because without seeing you or examining no doctor will be able to prescribe the right medicines. However time being you can try 8x shampoo 3 times weekly. And also dandruff is a tendency of your scalp so u need to use the appropriate shampoo on a regular basis. You can now use it 3 times a week and when its in control you can make it once a week and other days you can use a normal shampoo of your choice.
