Severe Scalp Fungus with Itching and Hair Loss

Posted By Ac (Mumbai) on 02/10/2013

This question is for TED - I am having severe scalp fungus infection, itching and intense hair fall from past 7 years. I have seen all dermatologist as well as tried all shampoo and pills but condition isn't improving at all. A few months back, I came across with borax which I tried on my scalp mixing it with water. Also, I tried to apply antifungal cream in parallel which I leave it overnight. Combination of antifungal cream and borax didn't helped me to cleared of my scalp fungus and white scaly layer is still on my scalp but it did helped a bit in my itching. I am using anitfungal cream and borax solution on my hair from past 1 month. I am not sure what else should I do since my scalp is not getting cleared off during washing? I am still having itching, scaling and hairfall. Please advice some solution for my problem. I am really in a deep depression with this problem and I don't what else I can do :-( :-(

Hi Ted, Please help and reply on my problem as I am going through big mental depression because of the problem. Morever, here I am not getting hydrogen peroxide so I can't make ACV H2O2 which have you mentioned in your previous post...

I used to eat salt much so gradually it led hair falling, dryness and itching. I has been since 3 years now I stop eating much salt so dryness got reduced but hair falling and itching haven't stop. I removed all my hair and got bald before one year at that time so much fungus got on the edge of blade of barber.

But it also has been since three years but still I am suffering from itching and hairfall.

Please say me what should I do to cure my hairfall problem.

Hello Sanjay,

I was able to control my scalp fungus problem using 1 part ACV and 3 part Water. Before taking shower, I spray it on my hair and then leave it for 30 min and then rinse with herbal shampoo.

I can see difference in my scalp after application of continuous 4 months. My scalp fungus and hair loss hasn't been completely cured but still atleast I found 50% relief in my problem.
