    1. Thanks I sure will! I had, no idea I had it! I went to the hairstyles and found out!wow! That's crazy 🤪!

      1. I am glad you had an observant hairstylist. Bless her for insight! I have learned from others here, and on our other health sites, that many health issues have been initially seen by our hairstylists, nail technicians and physical trainers/gym staff. Bless them all... Happy you'll stay in touch with us. Sending healing hugs, Liz - AtopicDermatitis.net - Site Moderator

    3. You pose a good question. First, I want to express my empathy for your symptoms. I know what you are going through, and it is not easy. Next, and most important, is to ask your doctor, who knows your health history best, for recommendations specific for you. Meanwhile, many members here have found relief with some over-the-counter remedies and shampoos containing the least of chemicals and irritants, including fragrances. Here are some articles from our website: https://atopicdermatitis.net/medications-over-the-counter and https://atopicdermatitis.net/living/scalp-eczema-treatments. Please let us know your thoughts...
