I have not had it that bad in a while. But if I don't wash my hair for three or four days, that is exactly what happens.

Hi and welcome to the SebDerm social website. We're glad you joined. Be sure to check out all the information on this site written by our staff dermatologist and other health professionals. There are many articles about scalp SD. I have scalp SebDerm too. It can get very itchy like you are experiencing. I would first ask the dermatologist or GP to take a look at your scalp. They will assess it quickly and provide you with a prescription or recommend an over the counter product. All scalp problems are not alike. For itching, I use BEKYND cream that is a pre shampoo product. Before shampooing, you put the cream on a wet head and wait 8-10 minutes and then shampoo out twice. I only use it every 8 days or so. It helped right away, but I still have some itching. Itching until it bleeds can cause an infection on your scalp, so please be careful. I've tried putting extra hot water on a towel that helps in an emergency, but it's better to see a Doctor and get diagnosed. I hope you better soon.

It's not stress or anything different. I have 7 children, 13 Grandchildren & 3 Great Grandchildren. I'm thankful it waited 65 years to appear for no reason.
Until now I always had long nice blonde hair.
Not now. Thankful for hair toppers with bangs so I don't look like a freak. Plus after covid ended I have lost 60lbs. 5'5" 120. It helps with my physical therapy
