Pls stop everything plus the shampoo you are using on his head, hair products are most times responsible for all this things

Then stop him from eating anything milk, especially dry milk .

Then don't allow his hair to grow on his head, buy him his own clipper and cut his hair yourself every 5days.

Make sure his bedsheets and pillows is always neat.

Don't use anything for now for a month.

Just get this papaya soap for his head.

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.
Take him to a Teaching Hospital please, a Teaching hospital, and make sure you see the consultant.

During the day, use Head and Shoulder antidandruff shampoo daily.
Then, mix two tablespoon of Zinc Oxide Powder and 10drops of tea tree oil in pure coconut oil. At night apply generously massaging the scalp. Let it seat for 30min-1hr, then rinse. You can leave overnight if it doesnt cause any irritation. You can get Zinc Oxide Powder and tea tree oil on Konga.
Also boost the immunity of the child with less junk food and more fruits and vegetables. Dandruff can result from auto-immune disease.

The solution is simple, get sea water and new engine oil, wash the head with sea water and rub it with the engine oil for 3 days morning and night, you will thank God for it.

An Hausa adage says the drug you are describing for people has it work for you when you are sick, does it work if yes... bring it I will use it. So this has happen to my child and someone give me as a solution and it works. So try it, it work too.

Sorry for the pains you feel. You boy will be healed. Your next line of action is to immediately visit a reputable hospital for a variety of laboratory test. This will include blood test, urine test, fecal test, hormonal test among others. This will be an excellent starting point.

More importantly, pray always. This is a petty issue for God. He will heal you son

What your son has is not dandruff, He has a problem with his immune system, He has scalp psoriasis which is not curable but manageable (you can greatly reduce the frequency of flares).

Visit a dermatologist, they'll probably prescribe corticosteroids (prednisolone) and a prescription shampoo containing salicylic acid and coal tar.

This doesn't look like Dandruff to me. If it is, I think. It's wild.

Step 1: Try and shave the boys head as much as you can.
Step 2: look for a herbal soap called Eyin Aro in Yoruba. Mix the soap with Ose dudu (black soap)
Step 3: use the mixture to bath the child morning and night.
Step 4: Buy cacatin hair cream, rub on his head after bath.

Trust me after 5 days you will come and share testimony.

Sorry to hear madam.

But ensure you see a consultant dermatologist. At a teaching hospital/FMC. Not just a doctor in any hospital.
Your boy obviously has issues with allergy. Tongue and lip swelling may be adverse reaction and can become quite severe as anaphylaxis at other times as to block airway. Risky.

Have they checked him fully with blood test/his immune system/allergy test to know what to avoid in food/cream/medication/jewellery, etc?

The key is nutrition. I strongly believe this is due to food intolerances in the body.
Remove all grains especially white rice and corn. Remove all Refined sugar i.e white sugar
Remove artificial sweeteners.
Remove a legumes e.g groundnut, cocoa, beans anything in that family.
Remove all white flour from cakes, cookies ,pastries, and all derivatives of white flour. Do this to remove gluten from the body.
Remove all processed foods.
Do not anything from a factory.
Remove Maggi.
Remove Dairy and eggs.
Eliminate pasta and its derivatives such as indomine ,etc they could contain gluten too.
And allow 30 -60 days to clean out the system.
This has worked for me. I am not a medical doctor but only suggesting this.
Lots of vegetables and organic foods and of course water.
After you notice positive changes. You can either just continue or reintroduce the foods one after the other to find the roots cause.
That will take a longer time and cause trigger the condition again.
Hope this helps.
God bless you.

Not everything is spiritual oo...
You can Use any of these 2 methods twice a day:
1. Apply soda soap and wash with slightly hot water
2. Wash the head with homemade liquid soap. That one of 100 naira or as the case may be.

Please do this and thank me later.

This 'might' be a form of tumor eating up the flesh, bone, joints.
