Well, I am sorry you have had so much trouble with this!

There are a lot of natural things you can try. I think the first thing I would try would be a mixture of castor oil and extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil. Mix equal parts together. Carefully massage it into your scalp and cover with a shower cap and towel and leave in a couple of hours or overnight. Be careful not to tangle the hair. You can coat all the hair, but especially the scalp. The castor oil and coconut oil are both gentle and nourishing to the skin of the scalp. After 2 hours, or the next day, wash hair. (Probably twice.) You could do this every few days or once a week.

Try to find a way to clean your hair as gently as possible. Maybe just use baking soda to wash. (Lots of posts about it on Earth Clinic.) This might not be enough though to get the castor/coconut oil out of your hair.

Also, you can take 4 capsules of turmeric twice a day. Take it with a glass of water. Turmeric is great for inflammation and for skin conditions (and lots of other stuff, too! ) It may sound strange that something internal would help your scalp, but I have seen turmeric do amazing things for skin inflammations in my family.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you are completely cured soon.
