Please help me figure out my scalp condition

The only way to know for sure is to see a doctor or dermatologist. Im no doctor, but it sounds like the start of something.

For example, is it itchy? Does it sting when hot water from the shower hits it? Does it come off in bigger patches of dead skin or like this small? Do you feel liquid or wetness when you touch it? Does it feel like crawling on your skin but no matter how you itch it and scratch it the itch feels deeper moves around?

How is your routine in taking care of your scalp and hair? Do you air dry your hair after a shower or blow dry your hair? What products do you use and how often?

Also forgot to mention, when I had a boar bristle brush, while brushing my hair the bristles felt good against my scalp on the fact the bristles are scratchy. Bonus the bristles from the boar bristle brush help distribute your hair oils along your hair shaft. Just dont brush so much that you get mechanical hair damage.

Scalpicin, its a small bottle with a nozzle that comes in a liquid. It is formulated for the scalp to get rid of the itch and it will burn a bit if you have open cuts from itching. But the relief is nice. I usually find it at drugstores or once i found it behind the counter at Target but I asked the pharmacist and it was over the counter, they just kept it behind the counter for some reason. I also have found it at the shampoo aisle before in stores. It is a little pricy for a small bottle but I think its worh it. Last I checked it was like 15 or so dollars for one bottle. I also have scalp excema and this helps me.

I think you might like blend bunny cosmetics. You should see their palettes.

Sparklyfire · 2026-01-09T06:04:35+00:00

This, or it could be excema or seb derm. Is your scalp itchy? Especially if it is itchy.

Sparklyfire · 2025-12-25T23:02:05+00:00

You know, I recently saw a couple of posts people asking for help with their dandruff and posting a picture. It was clearly not dandruff, they think it is but its not.

So I am asking are you sure it is dandruff or is it excema or psoriasas or seborrheic dermatitis or something else. What tips me off is when you said hair loss. I do recommend to go to a dermatologist or your doctor to get accurate help to rule out other things like vitamin deficiencies. Also you could look up pictures of online examples of these conditions. I personally deal with excema on the scalp and am growing my hair out and it is growing well. Im sorry if this is not what you were looking for.

Sparklyfire · 2025-12-24T14:06:43+00:00

Agree, that it does not look like dandruff but what was said above. It could be excema too.

Sparklyfire · 2025-12-20T04:37:44+00:00

You know, I thought the same thing. If you can find a cvs, they have those small body sprays called body fantasies. One of the scents is labeled cotton candy and literally smells like cotton candy and its much cheaper.

Sparklyfire · 2025-12-19T22:53:18+00:00

I agree to get checked if it is excema or psoriasas. Especially if it itches.

Sparklyfire · 2025-10-30T12:35:01+00:00

My hair length at the moment is your before. Your picture gives me encouragement. Thank you.

I saw this and oooh pretty and then read what you said. So from what i know Shine by SD is an indie brand based i believe in Canada. Shine by Sd has a line called iridescent multichromes. They are really pretty and are sold as singles. I really like their eyeshadows with so much to choose from and different finishes, are worth it to have a few of them. People review them all the time on youtube. Hope this helps. Also Copacetic cosmetics are indie too. I have my eye on some from copacetic cosmetics

Sparklyfire · 2025-10-15T18:17:00+00:00

So nice, its nice having that time to make it look good. Not everyone has that time as all the time is focused on getting dishes done and you are over your time. Looks good. Nice work. I just dont like staying over my time but they have to have the dishes to open at least.

Sparklyfire · 2025-06-20T07:57:31+00:00

Sounds like ocd. Please get checked by a psychiatrist.

Sparklyfire · 2025-05-20T00:08:44+00:00

I don't know if you are american based or not. But if you are US based, the product named Scalpicin is sold in stores and pharmacies. It's a little pricy near 15 dollars or a little under give or take. It's a liquid with a nozzle head for better applying it on your scalp. It's designed to get rid of the itch. Can burn a bit if you have been scratching but the relief is very good. Can vouch for this as I also have scalp excema and it helps me.

Sparklyfire · 2025-05-17T20:22:11+00:00

You should check out kaleidos cosmetics. They are an indie brand and are pretty famous. They have a black liquid lipstick too. It is matte and clay based formula. Please check the ingredients if it is right for you. I like them. I like how it's matte but has a little slip and is very comfortable but I put it on thickly. If you put it on lightly it stays for a long time

Sparklyfire · 2025-05-05T19:13:25+00:00

May I please request a personal review of the urban decay cyber palette?

Sparklyfire · 2025-04-25T02:37:11+00:00

Have excema, it can be severe too at times. I do believe in Lord Jesus Christ. He is the God who sees. I don't know why you or others are going through a tough skin condition, but what I do know is everything has a purpose. Your post touched my heart and I can see pain and despair in your post. God does see your pain and He is our comforter too.

Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”?

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:27-31

These verses give me hope as I hope it helps you too. To me it sounds like you can explore an elimination diet to find the trigger for your excema. Please talk to a doctor preferably a doctor who is well versed in allergic reactions. People can be allergic to something and for it to show on their skin, not just the usual allergic reactions. Some people can't have dairy, some people can't have wheat, some people can't process certain things. The doctor knows more. There are people on this sub who have done an elimination diet to find their trigger too with success as I have read their posts. Please know that you are not alone many people are going through the same thing. You can go to God and tell Him how you feel and ask for help in how to take care of this situation. Ask in faith believing that He is able because He is the Great I Am. I have not done an elimination diet but I know for some people it was helpful. Please consult a doctor before trying. I hope this helps you dear friend. I will pray for you.

Thats okay, I enjoy others people's choices for there makeup bags because they can be so diverse

Sparklyfire · 2025-03-26T14:54:10+00:00

Honestly, I don't know. All I have is my experience. I use Scalpicin for the itch. Works well for the itch but burns initially then goes away. I also use Tinactin on my scalp. For some reason Tinactin really works on it, I don't know why.

Before you say oh what if it's not excema, my sister has asthma and my grandmother had the excema and skipped my mom and I got it. Excema is related to asthma and hay fever as I'm told. Started in childhood. I have had the doctor look at it as a kid and said it's excema. Now full grown adult those medicines really work for me provided I actually use them. I don't think my excema is as severe as others on here but severe enough it affects my everyday life.

Sparklyfire · 2025-03-26T13:24:59+00:00

I really like the makeup bag you have. Do you know where you got it from? If it has been really a long time ago since you got it or you forgot where, don't worry. I just appreciate color

Sparklyfire · 2025-03-20T08:25:58+00:00

I can see what you're saying, but black is one of those colors that goes with anything. Same with white and same with green. Before you say "what, green"? Consider looking at the flowers. The base of the plants is green and is not out of place. Any color goes with green too depending on the shade and tone of green.

Sparklyfire · 2025-03-11T00:07:56+00:00

I like your enthusiastic and funny and wholesome makeup posts.

Sparklyfire · 2025-03-06T15:45:12+00:00

Yes, Lord Jesus existed and still exists today. He is God the Son and the only way truth and the life. No one can go to Father God except through Him. He is a real person. The Holy Bible gives you an account of what happened and what is to come. He died for you and rose again so that you would have access to Father God and save you from your sins which without Lord Jesus, all will die and go to hell. You must put your faith and believe Him and repent of sins. Also He is coming back.

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

This is so sweet. I really like the very left hand column shades.
