Bacteria and Fungal Problem on Scalp

Posted By Monica (Vancouver, Canada ) on 06/27/2017

Hi Ted. Im really hoping you can help me. I think what you are doing for people is amazing so thank you for your help! About 8 months ago I went to salon. A day later my scalp was itching so bad it kept me up at night. I tried every type of dandruff shampoo nothing worked. Shortly after that I got some scaly patches at the front of my head. The doctor gave me some mometasone lotion and that seemed to help. My itchy scalp continues and now I have acne on my scalp that look like red dots and some have puss in them. Doctors are no help and the dermatologist isn't much help either. I do get reoccurring yeast infections and sometime it lasts the entire month even during my menstrual cycle. I know I have a yeast issue and I'm assuming that's what's going on with my scalp. I really don't want to take antibiotics especially because I have a yeast issue. That will only make it worse. What do you recommmed I take internally and on my scalp. Also at what dose? I do have colored hair that is quite damaged. Will the borax solution with peroxide and Apple Cider Vinegar ruin my hair?

My hair is starting to fall out in huge amounts and I see some bald spots in the front region of my hairline so any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated!

Right now I wash my hair with Nizoral. It works but only for a day. I condition my hair with regular conditioner. I've been putting Apple Cider Vinegar on my scalp and do not benefit from that. Supplements I take is folic acid, multivitamin, whey protein, b complex, selenium, vit c, pau d'arco and oil of oregano capsules. Do I need to do a candida cleanse and can I drink coffee?

Thank you Ted! :-)

If I suspected bacteria or fungus on my scalp to the extent of hair loss I would immediately begin the ingestion of borax as per Ted's instructions and also bathing in it and would suggest to put your whole head under the water to allow treatment. Attack from the inside and outside. You could probably add Epsom salts to the bath water as well. You could have inherited mites from the salon which the borax ( in & out) would also help but if it is mites except it to get worse before it gets better.
