Good morning my people, I am writing you people at this delicate hour of 12:39am because my son's condition, it's getting worse by the day.

Dandruff wants to kill this beautiful boy, I know it's weird because we all know, myself included that dandruff doesn't kill, but watching myself lose a part of my son everyday.

He's been suffering from this condition for over 6yrs now, we've gone to the hospital and after buying and using all the prescribed drugs (Nizoral shampoo, selsun blue, head and shoulders, tea tree oil, miconazole cream, ketoconazole cream, terbinafine cream, fluconazole tablet, terbinafine tablet: almost killed my son, griseofulvin etc) nothing has changed, instead it's getting worse by day.

From complaining of headaches, to weakness (my son that was filled with energy and plays all the time now barely moves, he is always one place complaining of tiredness and pain), to joint pains, to confusion.

According to him, this dandruff has ate up his scalp so much that he can now taste his bathing soap on his tongue the moment he washes his head. We are now scared of washing and applying anything on his head because he will complain of tasting whatever we put on his head in his mouth and he will start having reactions. It's almost as if the skin on his scalp no longer protects him from outside soaps and other ingredients.

The moment he washes his head, his lips and tongue will swell up and he will start having reactions. My once active and lovely boy is now a shadow of himself. He's refusing to play, always complaining of tiredness and pains.

Pls help me my people, I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried every hospital and everything, I've done all I know, and now I'm watching my son deteriorate gradually before my very eyes without having a clue what to do, pls I beg you, help him, help me.







this looks like crusted scabies or mite infestation , you can apply{ benzyl benzoate 25%} .
dilte the lotion with water and apply generously on his scalp.
the lotion is sold at the rate of 500 to 700 naira . you can also go the herbal way, get some neem tree leaves and boil it let him dink little and bath him with the neem tree water evey day but focus the bathe on his scalp
wish him well.

Go to any hospital and see a doctor...
What they'll most likely do is shave all of his hair (what we call skull or gborima-kpa) and they'll use that to do a tissue culture in the microbiology lab...

From the results they'll prescribe some drugs that should solve the problem permanently...

Stop seeking medical advice on NL. pls take the kid to a Dermatologist!! pls there is one I can recommend. she's very good. she's a consultant.
Pls!!! don't bathe the boy with a pack of salt like one person suggested! just take him to a Teaching Hospital hospital See a Family Doctor that will refer you to a Dermatologist or Pedeatrictian as the case maybe.
Re: Please Help, My Son Has Dandruff For Over 8years Now by SKIBiNSKI(m): 3:02pm On Apr 19, 2023
Op, what your son has is Eczema, it is a curable illness caused by poor hygiene.

Try this cream if you can find it in Naigeria shave his hair off wash with warm water and apply morning and night, if it didn't cure your son's Ezcema in 7 days i will cut my dick off. This is no big deal.

hmm.

I typed this with a tear drop.

Your boy reminded me of my elder bro, we almost lost him to this.

The stuff was there till secondary school level if I could remember well. It was a painful experience for him, my mum shaved and shaved and apply all those prescriptions and other drugs too. Then the last one that almost took his life was when he was to take 16 injections, omo, It was really a sad experience. But we thank God he scaled through.

Pray for your boy and visit a good health center. Your boy is destined for greatness know that.
So because the boy has Eczema means he is destined for greatness? cheesy grin grin you are ridiculous, this boy is not different from kids who grew up to become armed robbers.

Re: Please Help, My Son Has Dandruff For Over 8years Now by Nyceguy92: 3:21pm On Apr 19, 2023
First off, there is nothing spiritual about this problem.

Anyone who has been observant growing up should know that this is a scalp problem common among children, especially in areas poor in skin hygiene and regular bath.

This child is suffering from a mixture of fungal and bacterial infections. The particular species of fungus involved requires a laboratory test.

It is possible that the treatments given so far did not get to the root of the problem because they were trapped superficially on the hair instead of dwelling on the skin proper.

It will be a good idea to shave the hair down to the scalp as some alreadysuggested, but this cannot be done without numbing the area because it's going to hurt. Enough numbing gel or spray should make shaving painless.

After shaving, I recommend washing the scalp with warm water + salt at least twice daily, then applying a good amount of an antibiotic cream or ointment and a good antifungal cream.

The veins and arteries of the scalp are closely related to the nose and mouth. This might explain the taste in the mouth of substances applied on the head.

I can imagine the agony and discomfort your son has been passing through. As a child, he is helpless and is depending on you to help him. He should be able recover. And don't give up.

Good luck.

This is serious, poor lad, I pray for swift healing for him.

You may as well try Potassium Permanganate Tablets; put one or two tablet in one litre of water and use the solution to wash his thoroughly shaved head. Also, take note of his diets, may be he is allergic to some of these foods. It's well with you young man.

This is not medical advice.

I think applying these many things only aggravated the whole thing.

My advise is to stop them all.
Always barb all the hair on his head as it will help in healing and prevent habitat for the disease.

Change his clothing, mattress, bedding, pillow, pillow case, towel etc.

Check your water source, change it or treat it if possible. Always boil his bath water. Add detol to his bath water.

Let him take his bath twice daily. Do this for a while till the sores heal.

Let him take prescription drugs from the doctor or dermatologist, but ensure that it is something mild.
Re: Please Help, My Son Has Dandruff For Over 8years Now by Sanchez01: 3:22pm On Apr 19, 2023
It has to be one of two things; viral or bacterial. The saddest part here is that whatever is wrong with him is IN THE BLOOD and not what you see on his scalp. That is a reaction/symptoms of what is on the inside. Topical solutions won’t help since they are not addressing the root cause. I’d recommend you see a dermatologist. They should be able to draw samples and arrive at a conclusion with what a lab returns as result and then know how to tackle it from there.

For now, DO NOT apply any fungal, bacterial or topical treatment of any kind. It could worsen or aggravate things further.

Buy this anti-dandruff hair cream called so fine. It will help kill those dandruff and cleanse his hair.
