Sometimes have irritating scalp issues

Seb Derm or oily skin/white hard balls that come out of hair follicle

Hello, I've had this for few years now. Sometimes my skin will be clear and smooth and others will be oily and dry at the same time with my follicles being bumpy or clogged. Also, I have white balls build up and come out of my follicles. I'm taking B5, vit d and ACV along with my UC meds (lialda and canasa). Any advice or what this is? Is it really Seb Derm? Thanks

I have had mild dandruff for about 15 years, I never paid much attention to it. Some shampoos helped a bit, but lately I became really annoyed with it. I have always eaten a generally considered healthy diet. Last year I became vegetarian, eliminated milk products, just had eggs once in a while, but the dandruff did not go.

Last week I decided to try wheat/grain free diet (no bread, cereal, pasta, etc), with lots of raw fresh fruits & salads, and now my scalp is almost clean, no itching.. Maybe you should give it a try as well and go grain free for a while.

Note: in first few days I was experiencing some detox symptoms - drowsy, very thirsty, etc..
