For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

    Almost sounds not like dandruff, but psoriasis. I have it on my scalp only. Tea Tree shampoos work for mine (head and shoulders type stuff is overly harsh). Sometimes it flares up badly and a medicated shampoo will clear it up.

      Psoriasis does seem likely, though my last gp insisted that wasn’t the case. Haven’t asked the new one about it yet, but this is a good enough reminder ig.

      And, while tea tree is most definitely where its at, head and shoulders does work fine for me. I dont really get flareups unless I skip a day or two of thoroughly washing. Not really an issue lately though since I’ve opted to just start keeping it shorter. It looks better long (imo at least), but life is just so much simpler this way.

        scalp psoriasis is pretty silvery flakey skin on the scalp with redness surrounding it, my bro had it. if its excessively itchy it could be atopic dermatitis on the scalp rather than sebboric/
