Hair coming out by handful from scalp fungus

Scalp fungus?

This is a repost. I need help...

Hi Ted. my hair started coming out by the handful. now my scalp is itchy, flaky and smelly. It smells like sweat and dirt, a few days after I have washed it. Sometimes if feels like pins and needle pain, sometimes it feels like something is crawling on my scalp and sometimes it is painful. I also have tiny bumps I my hair and I am getting these pimple looking bumps on my body. I have tried the tea tree oil. colloidal silver, drinking borax water, Apple Cider Vinegar and rinsing with peroxide. Antibiotics helped for a bit, but when I stopped taking them, it got worse. I have washed my hair with t-gel and selenium sulfite. This has been going on for years. I have bald spots, thin spots and broken hair.

Have you tried DMSO? I didn't see DMSO on that list. I'm a big fan of DMSO. I didn't see Cayenne pepper, and neither did I see Turmeric and Extra virgin olive oil. Coconut oil has properties that may help you too.

Hi Kelly, Being careful not to scratch your scalp with your fingernails when you wash your hair could be a good start. It may take some time to heal IF this is what has happened. Use the pads of your fingertips.

Try borax with hydrogen peroxide 1% as to wash the hair. It appears to a mange like conditions caused by demodectic mites under the skin. Must be done everyday for at least a week. Ted

I don't know what DSMO is, but I have used coconut oil mixed with tea tree oil, on my scalp and I use regular coconut oil on my skin. I have tried turmeric, and olive oil, mixed with tea tree oil and lavender oil.

Thanks, Ted. I have tried washing with borax and I have sprayed my hair with peroxide, but I have never tried it together.

What is the ratio to mix water, borax and hydrogen peroxide? Thank you for the information.
