The same thing happened to me! When I discovered this forum several years ago, I did the usual stuff: co, stretching washes and sulfate free. I just couldn't stand the itchies anymore!
I though I had a dry skin and that I needed to leave my skin alone... I also have rosacea and with my face I have to be very gentle.
Two years ago I moved to Belgium from Canada. The very high humidity here and the VERY hard water has been pretty bad for my scalp. And now I realize that I probably have SD. It's apparently a common misconception with people with it to think that the itching is caused by a dry scalp. It's not, it's a rash and in my case my scalp produces a lot of oil no matter how long I strech or how gentle the shampoo.
I find that with me using a shampoo that really cleans and rinses clean (like the lush shampoo bars) helps. I unfortunately can't go much more that 36 to 48 hours without washing. Now a flare came with the season change and I bought Ducray P.S.O. we will see how it goes.
