Scalp Problem

by CurtisL, Aug 16, 2007 08:16PM
I've always had scalp problems and have been told to use Tar shampoo. Is there something better. Also my scalp has been turning red in some areas. Flush. I cut my hair short and I see the front and mid area look a little red.

Thanks

hi,
can you describe in a little detail the condition of your scalp which necessitated the use of a tar shampoo? This would be beneficial before you plan to use any other chemical/drug on your scalp. do you have itching too? and do you notice any lesions other than the redness on the scalp?

hope this helped, let us know if you may need more information.

best regards
