Question: I have an on-going condition with my scalp - it smells! Any advice or treatments for this?

 Hairetic more than 1 year ago

I have also suffered from a scalp condition most of my life, and have tried most medicated shampoos. I finally found some relief by using Eufora's Purifying Shampoo and Urgent Repair Replenishing Treatment. You can also try Beautifying Serum by Eufora to release excess sebum from the scalp by massaging a liberal amount onto the scalp before shampooing. Beautifying Serum has neem, argan, cranberry, and kukui nut oils which together provide antibacterial, antiviral, and anticeptic benefits. You can learn more about Eufora International's products by visiting http://www.eufora.net. You can also find a eufora salon near you. This is no a cure but it will help. Let me know if you have any trouble finding a eufora salon near you.

I RECOMMEND YOU SEE A DERMATOLOGIST BECAUSE WHAT WORKS FOR OTHERS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU

my best gues would be that you need to exfoilate your scalp try a teatree scalp treatment ( paul mitchell has a great one ) its worth a try

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo or Lanza Remedy Shampoo are for problem scalp.
Rocky Mountain Oils carries a theraputic essential oil for hair & other infections that you can massage into the scalp at nite.
You may also want to consider having a Dermatolgist or Doctor test you for a yeast infection.

I have had much luck with an over the counter product, t-gel. many of my clients have suffered from soriasis(sp.) this works great. and has helped with the odor also. good luck.

All the advice below is great... Redken makes a Chemistry Set line you find at any redken salon. One is a specific dandruff/scalp treat shot. It lasts for about 4 weeks. I use this on my guests that have problems with their scalp and they say they notice a HUGE difference right away. I'm not sure if this would specifically help your problem but it definately would be worth a shot!!

I agree with tiffany... but one more Idea that you can try is a spray shampoo .... rockaholic makes one called dirty secret and it smells wonderful... it is made to absorb excess oils and freshin the smell of hair.... sometimes I even use it directly after blowdrying my hair if I think I am going to sweat a lot during the day. this in conjunction with an anti yeast might help. you could also try an over the counter yeast cream.... or even a yogurt treatment on your scalp, which is also really good for the hair. Both can help yeast infections and are over the counter and inexpensive. Hope this helps

Have you used a Neways product? There are no harmful chemicals in their products including sodium laurel sulfate, TEA, DEA, PEG, proplyene glycol, etc. Go to http://hhh.ineways.com. I can't imagine you having an infection that no one else has noticed. Do other people notice this odor? If not, the problem may be in your sinuses.

It sounds like Tiffany left you so good advise. The only thing I would add is that you should see a dermatologist, not just a regular doctor; and if a shampoo with salicylic acid doesn't work, try one with coal tar.

Sounds like you have been given some great advise already. I would also recommend seeing a dermatologist. It is possible for over-active oil and sweat glands to cause microbial growths on the scalp. Try an antimicrobial shampoo. That certainly could help. You can also try changing your towel and your pillow case often. Smokers generally have a horrible smell to their hair/scalp... It is important to remember that when you wash your hair the primary cleansing is to wash the scalp (most do not shampoo correctly). Also, thorough rinsing of your shampoo and conditioner is important. Build-up from styling products, shampoos, conditioner, etc. on the scalp can also combine with excessive sweating and/or oils on the scalp causing a nasty odor, irritation, etc. Maybe try changing your hair care products as well? How often do you shampoo? Same concept. "Oily dandruff" could also be the culprit... See your dermatologist to further investigate your hair care habits and a possible underlying cause to remedy this problem. Good luck! =)
