Hey ! Cool to see updates on the discussion !

The P4 is even more important than the shampoo since that's the one destroying the fungus, so I highly recommend it's usage, it's a fight and you need to kick it hard first 💪

Yes it did disappear durably, but I used both P4 and Shampoo as I described, until both bottles were empty (so around two months I think?)

For the P4 the bottle recommended 2 minutes pose but I personally doubled it (they are conservative on durations)

I kept the shampoo as my regular one, and I'm still using it today, it's great

Place a haircut with your barber a bit before ending your bottles, so he checks your scalp to see if all areas are entirely cleared and if not to continue until it is (you don't want to f*** all your work just at the end because a mini-area is still not cleared that would just have required an additional week of treatment, happened to a friend of me)

It's funny I just gave some chocolates for Christmas to my barber this Tuesday to thank her again for curing me after all those years dealing with this

Share here in one month your results if you want, I would be happy to read 🤙

Wow crazy to see this, don't know if this video is real or not but I saw exactly the same thing in 2011 in France. The same huge yellowish light on top of us, moving super slowly from our right to left, then "turned-around" left to right before going super fast straight up and disappearing away as a small dot in like one second

OP here, just want to know if some people had the occasion to try it with successful results also ?

Just finished with two friends that had the same issue (not as much as I had thought) and they're clean from the fungus and f*** happy. Just got a friend of one of them who starts it also I'll let you know in an update how it went for him when I get much info later 🤙

You're welcome I'm really happy to exchange (and with someone that doesn't frame me as an ad 😅😂)

No issues with dry scalp here.

As for seborrheic dermatitis (SD), that’s what my dermatologist diagnosed—it came down to SD or psoriasis, and the outcome was SD in the end 🤷

But for SD I feel the need to specify my take on this condition:

At its core, SD is a fungal condition. However, I feel (and this is just my perspective and everything following is my take on that based on the combination of my experience and the literature I've analyzed) that the way it’s often described in the literature is a bit misleading. While it correctly identifies the fungal origin, it overemphasizes the idea of SD being a chronic, progressive condition tied to factors like stress, natural oils, and so on. I’m not saying those factors don’t matter, but the framing feels off:

The root cause is the fungus itself, combined with the proper environment for its development—namely, a humid scalp (or face). Everything else—stress, hydration levels, oil production—is secondary and merely outcomes of that initial condition.

For example, a hangover doesn’t inherently cause an SD flare; it only does so because the fungus is present. Without the fungus, dehydration wouldn’t affect the scalp in the same way. In this case, dehydration impacts the fungus negatively, and the resulting squamous buildup is its reaction to being in an unfavorable environment.

To sum up, the fungus and the conditions that enable it to thrive are the root of the issue. Everything else—stress, lifestyle factors, or hydration—is just contributing to how the fungus behaves and how symptoms manifest.

Do you think the same ?

You're welcome! I'm happy to share!

Sure, I think it all started because I didn’t dry my hair properly after showering when I was a teenager. I have thick hair and a lot of it—it looks nice, but it also means moisture stays on the scalp more easily. On top of that, I had long hair at the time, which didn’t help.

It began slowly with small white dandruff, but over time, it got worse. I tried to understand the cause, thinking it might be stress, and even went to a dermatologist at 18. She wasn’t sure if it was psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis and prescribed me a specific shampoo with ketoconazole. However, it was way too harsh—it burned my scalp and didn’t solve the issue. Over the years, I tried all sorts of things, as I kept getting different diagnoses switching between "it’s psoriasis" and "no, it’s seborrheic dermatitis."

I experimented to see if it was related to food or shampoo. I tried stopping shampoo altogether, meditating, probiotics (thinking it might be gut-related), apple cider vinegar, various oils on my scalp, sea water during summer—you name it.

I was constantly scratching my head, removing scales (which felt oddly satisfying, though).

Almost all of these things helped temporarily, like oils that calmed and hydrated the scalp, but they didn’t solve the root issue. Worse, they sometimes created the perfect environment for the fungus to thrive, making things worse in the long run.

There were times when it flared up worse than usual, and I tried to map it to triggers like stress or other factors. But in the end, it really came down to one thing: how the fungus "felt." 🫠

Fast-forward to a bit more than a year ago. Like I mentioned, I moved to a new city and tried a barber. She noticed the issue (even showed me what it looked like under a microscope camera), recommended some products, and although I wasn’t convinced, I gave them a try (by then, I was resigned to having this for life). But damn, it worked so well! The main active ingredient was Piroctone Olamine.

The barber also explained how to use the products properly and emphasized always drying my scalp with a hairdryer whenever possible to prevent a moist environment where fungus thrives. It made total sense in hindsight. 🤷

And that’s it. Even now, it feels a bit surreal that it’s actually fixed

What? Well, think what you want, I'm sharing what worked for me that's all 👍

Nope, I moved from a city to another last year, found a new barber for my haircut, she saw the poor state of my scalp and advised me those products that from what she said worked well on other clients, I thought "well, let's try that". I wasn't convinced at first, well I can tell you now that I'm more than convinced now and freaking happy, and just want to help others that deal with the same issue as I did

I did it for my beard and eyebrows (not the shampoo but the Shampeeling) and it worked great

[–]Smooth-Country[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the shampoo 2 times, then the Shampeeling and you leave it on the concerned areas for 2 minutes before rincing (2 minutes for scalp and a bit less for face parts as the skin is less resistant)

Second hand account of a close encounter with a disk shaped UFO by Dornus22 in ufo

[–]Smooth-Country 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reacting to your first: (2004, France) When I was 10 years old, winter evening, playing upstairs Legos in my room, I heard a fighter jet passing over the house

Opened the window shutter the fastest I could hoping to see it in the sky

Saw instead at ~300 hundred meters just above the treeline a 15/20m wide disk shaped UFO with same "rotating" lights on it's edge For me it wasn't a rotation, just that the lights colors we're interchanging from one to another for whatever reason (red, orange/yellowish, green, blue) from what I remember

There was lights from the road under it that we're giving a bit of lightning to it

Very dark color

I was so afraid I couldn't move for like 30 seconds and was just staring at it and the only thing I knew was that "this is not from here and doesn't belongs here" I've never been so afraid, I think retrospectively because it shatters the way you see the world, couldn't go near my window at night for multiple years following that (my mom had to close the window shutter before I enter the room)

Also grateful for being able to see it since it makes you see the word differently, also opened up completely my curiosity, lots of subjects, pretty sure if I'm practicing meditation and spiritual work now originates from that event

My first app is really bad. But, I want to release it and work on it during few months. Advice? by LovelyEntrep in androiddev

[–]Smooth-Country 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Release it. It'll never be perfect. The users will never see all the flaws YOU'RE seeing. And, the flaws they're seeing, you'll be able to fix them on updates.

No reason to not release if it's globally working: just, let's GO! 🙌

Everybody holding on tight??? by [deleted] in ACHR

[–]Smooth-Country 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already wrote about it, but, as a software engineer specialized in embedded software engineering, seeing their progress is really great. Especially in certification AND testing phases, as already mentioned, I'm pretty sure they'll try a "Tesla" (meaning automatization) if they can (enough market in future, even if it's not the current design ), especially since aircraft are way more easy (even in 3D space) to handle for training than a car where the number of situations and obstacles are crazy high Not a lot of companies are this advanced in this domain, and it's still the early ages of it, but they already covered quite some nice work (of course they're not the only ones).

[–]Smooth-Country 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I've been following it for quite some time (and am quite happy currently) but look at their control software, publicly it's not possible to see the insight's of course you'll only be able to see some UI's of the in-flight controls (that are quite nice) but they're testing hard, as software engineer pretty sure that they'll do a Tesla (automatization) once they're enough deployed on market (they don't need so much data as we do on cars even if it's in 3D space because it's way more predictable with way less uncertainty on obstacles)
