I\'ve been tested since for any reoccurence, but not for bacterial infection until this summer. Now that I\'m diagnosed with a staphylococcal folliculitis scalp infection, the problem is that the doctor only wants to prescribe Cipro or other fluoroquinolone products which are deadly and I refuse to take. Since then I\'ve been researching the cures posted and have discovered that staph bacterial infections may have a different treatment plan than fungal infections. I\'ve tried the vinegar which doesnt\' stop the itch and alternatively sea salt which temporarily stops the itch. I haven\'t tried the antibiotics everyone else speaks of because I\'ve read the posts and am leary about taking drugs that may cause even more issues. What treatment plan or combinations do you suggest and how should I apply them? Vinegar vs. ACV, sea salt, peroxide, oregano, tea tree or coconut oil? Does light therapy or uv light exposure help?

I\'ve tried endless list of shampoos, precribed antibotics, home remedies, etc. Nothing helped. My scalp would itch and start to smell within hours of washing. Recently I discovered that Tea Tree oil mixed with Aloe Vera really helps. Mix 50ml of pure Aloe Vera Gel with 20-25 drops of pure Tea Tree oil (not the diluted ones). Apply this mixture on the scalp. Keep it on for about 30-45 mins and wash your hair normally. Do this twice a week. It\'s been 2 weeks since, the itch has drastically reduced and the smell has gone. And the aloe vera has made my hair really soft.

Instead, I have been using a wooden comb to stimulate the area, rubbing with warm water, and then reapplying on nights when I don\'t wash my hair. Is this unhealthy? I\'ve been experiencing no negative side effects. Just wondering. Also, for how many days should a person apply the oil? Is there a limit?

I then asked for a treatment, cure or remedy for it, she gave me both these Shampoo D\'modex and Hair n Scalp conditioner, they are to be used together for best results, both of them are used to eliminate the mites.

Very itchy scalp with falling hair. I\'d say I lost over 1/2 my head of hair. I tried everything to overcome this, natural as well drug therapy. I purchased years ago a Violet Ray with two attachments, a rake for the scalp and a bulb wand for the rest of the body. I finally remembered I had in the closet and now have been using for 5 days on my scalp and face. It has been the most incredible recovery so far. My scalp is no longer itchy and my face is as smooth as a baby\'s bottom. This week I looked up online some interesting facts about the Violet ray that date back to the early 1900\'s. Everyone was curing themselves of numerous illnesses using this wonderful device.

I've been through all the meds the recommendations offered by everyone, don't think there is anything I haven't tried. Well anyhow, this is what worked for me and it may or may not work for you: In a plastic container add a quarter teaspoon of tincture of iodine (the brown liquid) and about a quarter cup of warm water, mix. Daily during your shower, wash hair with cool water without any shampoo or conditioner, then apply this mixture as a final rinse, whilst ensuring none of it gets in to the eyes. Immediately wrap a clean towel to the hair. Leave hair to dry naturally and before you know the hair feels softer and manageable - the plus factor 'No Itching".... Hurrah! I also use this mixture for my final rinse after my weekly shampoo and conditioner application. Initally I used this mixture for 4 days, had a break for a couple of days, the itching returned with a vengence. Good luck.

It started out with a cyst, but when that reduced bumps/pimples appeared near the base (so inbetween mid scalp and base). They eventually spread and went up the middle part of my scalp. This problem has driven me crazy.. Through the years I have found techniques to help.. Sulfur 8 has helped clear up all the bumps that spread up my head... Whats left is what I began with. I feel like this area near the base is where I need to target. This area is also the most stubborn, ACV and Peroxide help on and off.

I have a waterbed, and 2 Dogs (cocker Spaniels) I want to give you guys all the information I can give you. Again if anyone is having this issue try Sulfur 8.

Though it is very difficult to change our American Standard Diet overnight, just having a green smoothie once a day in the morning changed our diet by 20 % right away. We noticed a lot of improvement in our health -- headaches went away, regulated stool, feeling more relaxed, no need to take tons of sleep aid every night, better sleep, lots of energy, etc. Along with this, kind of at the same time my husband started to have scalp sores. Maybe it is just a coincidence. Anyway, the sores hurt and itch. He tried organic psoriasis shampoo, but it maked it worse. I dry them with alcohol. It seems to take the itch away. At the same time, I've been reading a lot about alkaline water and I started to give him ph balance enzymes. The sores seem to go away for a couple of days, but then they come back. Also, he has had a mild allergy lately, I gave him magnesium capsules and added oxygen drops in his smoothie for stress and mental clarity. Too many vitamins? Too many toxins? Allergy reaction? Fungus? Lack of lipase enzyme? I forgot to say he got his gall bladder removed two years ago, so his body cannot handle fat digestion, he's had a lot of diarrhea. But with intake of enzymes it has been under contral. Anyway, the sores seem to improve by the end of the day after I apply alcohol and he does not scratch them, but then they start itching again and it drives him crazy. Today I noticed that after he scratched them, the inside of the big sores looks yellow-greenish. Is it puss? Though the sores look flat. I applied some alcohol on the sores again. It helped. They became more pinkish and the inside looks pale. My question is: Is there any universal natural remedy with the anti fungus effect for any scalp sores? Thank you very much for your answer. :) "
