Help! I've so many mysterious problems I don't know where to begin.
I've always had clear skin and healthy scalp but a few years ago it all started with an eruption of pimples on face, back and chest my scalp started getting super greasy and it has a very distinctive smell, kind of smells like bake yeast, or like a wet towel
After being treated with antibiotics for what they thought was acne it aggravated my condition and they now think it's malassezia folliculitis. As for my scalp one derm says SD, but the other derm doesn't know. Treatment for SD is non-responsive so I had to ask here because doctors have given up on me and told me I have to live with this! They don't care for additional tests!
So the issues I'm having :
- extreme itch
- strong smell of yeast
- thick & waxy buildup, Whenever I scratch my scalp, I get this thick, waxy stuff under my nails. It looks creamy yellowish.
- painful pimples
- extremely greasy scalp
- extremely dry ends that split and tangle only hours after hair being brushed out
Only hours after I've washed my hair thoroughly the disgusting smell starts to build up again. The scalp is extremely greasy but the hairs and lengths are so so so dry that my hair tangles.
I honestly am so lost!! I don't want to wash my hair every day! It's thick and long and takes hours to dry and also I don't want to dry my lengths out more than what they are. I've tried washing my scalp only but u can't, the lengths get all wet any way I try.
I can't take this darn itch it's killing me, I can't sleep because of the itch! It also itches around the wings of my nose (if there is any correlation?)
What could this be?! :( i feel so lost because my hair used to be so beautiful! Now it feels disgusting! Even others can smell my scalp when it's at its worst. I've tried ketononazol, head and shoulders, a dilution of cortisone for the itch, ACV-RINSE, washing often (every day), washing seldom (once a week), using only conditioner etc. but nothing works to get rid of these issues.
Ps : i never use heat tools, I never style, I never use harsh products ( only Shampoo conditioner and a deep conditioner, occasionally oil). I don't dye my hair. I mean I'd love to use styling irons and blow dry my hair because it's so pretty when I do but I know it's bad for my hair and I care for my hair
