Scalp itching issue
Hello ma’am, I need some help with a separate issue regarding my scalp condition.
For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing itchiness due to flakiness on my scalp. I used Scalppro shampoo earlier, and it helped at that time.
However, since the last week of March, the itching has worsened. I’ve also started noticing small bumps and rashes on my scalp. Around that same time, I began using the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Hair Spa (complete kit), so I suspected it might be causing an allergic reaction. I stopped using it
After that, I switched to using Scalppro shampoo along with Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (paraben-free). It provided slight relief, but the problem is still there.
I also tried using a mild daily shampoo and took Cetirizine for a few days for allergy relief. While I was on the medication, the itching improved, but it returned after I stopped taking it.
Additionally, I’ve been experiencing mouth ulcers and some stomach heat/liver-related discomfort recently. I’m not sure if this is connected to my scalp issue or if it’s purely an allergy.
Could you please guide me on what this might be and suggest appropriate treatment
