What do you call the skin condition on your scalp?

When your scalp produces too much oil and all these folds of skin grow out of the scalp. Often caused by stress. Also do you know what the best treatment for it is?|||As you see above, could be several things. Psoriasis, seborrhea, dandruff (but probably not, too severe), alopecia. You need to be seeing a dermatologist. They say that stress makes these things worse, but my psoriasis has always been very bad, whether I was stressed or not.





There are new treatments available for psoriasis if that is what you have. See a physician.





You could try the over-the-counter shampoos for scalp conditions -- some may work for you. None work for me. What could give you some relief is to put oil -- baby, olive, vegetable -- all over the scalp, cover with a shower cap, and sleep. Oh, cover the pillow with a towel because some will leak out. Wash it out in the morning -- hard to do, but use a clarifying shampoo and shampoo two or three times until it is out of the hair. That will lubricate it enough to give you some relief.





Again, see a doctor.|||In babies it is called cradle cap, and in grown ups it is calle alopecia. Head and Shoulders dandruff shampoo is the best thing to use, scratch the scalp gently to loosen dead skin. Wash hair once a day. If any open areas appear see a doctor.|||try to Massage your hair with pure coconut oil daily.
