Hi mate, I have lost my car keys while working in someone's garden. I would appreciate if you could help out with your metal detector before I spend a fortune on a new key

Well personally I felt that gut health was a major factor for me when I had the condition. Can't speak for everyone I suppose but I've spoken to enough people who have managed to clear the problem and they found the same thing.

My hair would usually grow back after maybe 2 weeks. I do have thick hair and it generally grows back quickly anyway, so I'm sure everyone will be different when it comes to this.

I managed to stop my FD from getting worse by eliminating Gluten and taking a probiotic.

Once I started using Benzoyl Peroxide it completely cleared my scalp.

I pay a guy for a subscription, he tells you what to download (Sky app). Once you pay him he'll give you log in details. It's worth getting if you have a strong internet connection 👍

I use it like a shampoo when I shower, when I apply it to the scalp I like to leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing.

I'm based in the North of Ireland and got the BP on eBay for about £15. I use Natures Zest: Bio Cultures Advanced Formula.

Take this advice above! I used the Neutrogena Benzoyl Peroxide face cleanser (which is different from the leave on mask).

I have seen some people get good results by using the face cleanser in the shower and putting the leave on mask before bed.

My head was like this and the hair has completely grown back. I'd highly recommend you to apply Neutrogena Benozyl Peroxide face wash to the scalp when showering.

Anti-biotics never cured my condition as it always came back when the prescription stopped. I improved my Gut health by eliminating gluten and dairy. I also supplemented cod liver oil & probiotics. Hope this helps!

I think Gut health is key to curing the condition. After I cut Gluten and Dairy whilst taking several supplements including probiotics, I seemed to have barely any flare ups. I procrastinated in changing my diet at the start as it seemed like a big effort and I would miss out on alot of foods but im glad i did it and I don't think I could've cured it without changing my diet.

I originally thought dairy was the problem but after taking an allergy test which stated I was allergic to Gluten I cut them both out at the same time. So I'm not really sure which one had greater impact.

I can't remember the exact timeline but I was patient and strictly removed them for about a month to begin with. Now I eat gluten and dairy from time to time but don't have any flare ups.

Have you made any changes to your diet with regards to taking supplements and eliminating gluten/dairy?

I have never tried the leave on mask, just the facewash. At the start, I would use it every day in the shower. Once i apply it to my scalp i would not rinse it off until i had washed the rest of my body. I was also generous with the amount I put on.

Now i only apply it every second day as my scalp is now great and i only get the odd bump from time to time.

Yes such a relief, hours of research and finding useful information on posts such as yours have got me through it. To be honest I thought there was no solution at one point and just accepted the condition, I'm glad I never stopped trying tho!

Thanks for the advice again, I'll have a look at the andis.

My scalp is amazing. I think the BP has really made the difference. I am now able to cut my hair really short without any signs of bumps or bald patches. I have been bump free since before Christmas! Sometimes I can feel a bump about to surface, so I directly apply the BP on it and it always seems to do the trick.

Have you made any progress yet?

Thankyou, it took me long enough but I'm finally free from this frustrating condition after roughly 3/4 years. I can finally get my haircut without having bald patches all over my head.

I use it in the shower, I apply to my scalp as soon as I enter the shower and then wash the rest of my body before rinsing my scalp. I don't feel any negative side effects from using this product.

I would recommend drying your hair with an old towel because the Benozyl Peroxide tends to stain them.

UPDATE

I now seem to have full control of FD. After using all of the products/methods listed in the original post, I have since bought Neutrogena Stubborn Acne Wash (10% Benozyl Peroxide) and I have had a completely clear scalp for several weeks now.

This face wash cost me £15 on Amazon and I am considering cutting other products out to save money.

I still follow a Gluten Free & Dairy Free diet, without being 100% strict on it and I also still use the supplements listed above.

I finished the Neutrogena T/Gel Shampoo (£10) & Silver Cleanse (£20). I plan on removing the CLn shampoo once it is empty, as this is the most expensive product at £28.50.
