About two days ago I realized I had a rough patch on my scalp at the hairline. it was itchy so I itched thinking it was dandruff I was scraping away but it was the white layer around the hair follicle with my hair easily coming out of my head. I have washed the area added olive oil, coconut oil and essential oils but nothing has has worked it it still rough, itchy and sensitive. I need help my mom said it cold be Psoriasis. Im a teenager and I don't want the area getting worst please help.
Answer
Stop using shampoo and see if that helps. There is a method called CO where you shampoo with conditioner, a good method for controlling scalp issues. Also I would treat it with some Cortizone cream first and see if that helps - if it truly is Psoriasis then raw shea butter would be the best.
The dry itch scalp is likely caused by the ingredients in the shampoo, they are just way too harsh.
Try switching to the CO method - it stands for Conditioner Only. Sounds weird but it works like a charm. I have long, thick and wavy hair so I switched to it mainly to calm the frizz and moisturize my hair but the added benefit was my scalp condition has cleared up completely.
Just use cheap shampoo without too many ingredients (Suave or White Rain are some good ones) and saturate the scalp and length. Massage your scalp really well then put on a towel or cap and leave it on for awhile (I do it at night and keep it on an hour). It truly loosens any dirt, oils and flakes and your hair will feel incredible.
I then follow up with Aloe Vera gel mixed in some good conditioner - massage that into the scalp and length and leave on for about 10 min.
Your hair color will benefit from not using sulfate shampoo - should last a lot longer.
