surely they'll just prescribe a shampoo?

>could it be dietary?

It's very likely. Eczema is an immune reaction (i.e. an allergic reaction) to something either getting inside your body or getting on your skin (past the protective oil layer). Basically, you're allergic to something you're eating or getting on your scalp.

>i don't put any chemicals on my scalp

Stop using any shampoo at all, and clean your hair once a week with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. As for food allergies, either see an allergist (an actual allergist, not a regular doctor) or try to find out what you're allergic to via testing. Eliminate certain foods from your diet for two weeks to see if it you can find out what it is that's causing your skin to flare up.

Sauce: I cured my eczema this way.

i do agree with you friend, i think it's an allergy of sorts, i recently noticed my mouth was going red and my lips were stinging after eating tomatoes, so i gave them up and the issue went away. it's weird, because I've eaten tomatoes for 29 years and only got allergic around my 30th

I have seboreic dermatitis, which is a form of eczema, ketoconazole shampoo without all the weird chemicals is what I use, it helps and make it go back to almost normal but have to use it at least every 3 days minimum.

I do have hayfever and I cannot get tested properly for gluten intolerance or other allergies I fucking need to see an allergist like the other anon said. I got it when I was 20 yo. Never even had acne in my teens.

Had something similar doc told me I have Psoriasis. Shit sucks, comes and goes, but apparently I'll have it for life.
Applying lotion after showering every day seems to help, sometimes twice a day.
He put me on a steroid cream once to clear it up when it was really bad, worked like a charm, but I'm not sure of the toll that would take on your body using it all the time.

Oh also coal-tar anti dandruff shampoo is something you could try 1-2 times a week.
(Pharmacist recommended that to me, they sell it in store)

For me it worked when I did keto for a month.
But dandruff came back along with old habits

Can't explain why tho

yeah i've used this before actually, it didn't clear up the issue though. I was hoping that and ketoconazale would but unsuccessful with either, which leads me to believe it's dietary

>i dont have any stress in live
>now u do

If you've had it for a long time and nothign gets rid of it, it might be a fungal infection. You'll need a long course of antifungals. Surface treatment doesn't cure it.

Used to have it really bad on my scalp. Even the toughest over the counter shit wouldn't work. But I've been using 2 - 1 head and shoulders dry skin for over a year and it hasn't flared up once.

Considering going to a dermatologist though because it flares up on my face from time to time and it looks like shit and I haven't found anything to make it go away on my face. Hopefully they'll give me steroid cream or something

Coconut oil worked for me

I rub my face and hair in it and leave it for around an hour before showering

Also eat plenty of fats, like avocado, fish, etc.

I'm 100% sure stress can cause it too, I had it much worse in stressfull periods
