Segzy19:This is one of the most sensible advice I have seen on this trend all day and there were more than a 100 posts before it. For people that always run to Nairaland for medical advice, this should tell you can’t get quality medical advice on Nairaland. 7david7:Please don’t do this. Consistently bathing your son with high salt content can do him harm. From what he (your son) has told you, he has open sores on his head that absorb whatever is applied. Stop all medication and see a Dermatologist, forget how specialized the name sounds; very good ones with decades of experience can give you consultation for as low as N5,000. You son seem to have some form of acute dermatitis, what @Segzy19 described is the optimal solution but see a dermatologist first so you can be sure. Prednisolone and hydrocortisone cream prove to be effective in a case of acute dermatitis, you should see results in a month and expect all traces to be gone in 6 month or more BUT these drugs shouldn’t administered without proper prescription especially when the patient is a child. |

obajoey:How did your brother's scalp clear? You didn't say just long story. If it's spiritual, say it as it is and ask him to pray. If it's health related, state the clinic he used or treatment he received or say you can't remember. Your solution is too vague. |

Scrap his scalp with new razor so there's visible bleeding or release of fluid. Rub with raw soda for washing plates, (Can be very painful). Introduce him to forlic acid and garlic. Trust me, in less than a month you'll see a sharp turn in fortunes for his health. God bless and help you. Amen. |

7david7:See dermatologists. They may simply take a look or do a skin biopsy to rule out similar conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. |

7david7:Never loose hope madam, but I beg of you "do you believe in herbs" If you answer is affirmation, then look no further. Just go to any market in Nigeria yes any market where you can see elderly women (Especially those from Oyo or Osun State ) just take your boy along, show them I am 100% sure within two weeks you will see positive improvement. |

Hi 7david7, Just go get a referral to a Teaching hospital and get a refined dermatologist or specialist. They need to do a culture test to ascertain what exactly is causing the issue. Also a lifestyle change might be required. I remembered having to ditch fish, butter and eggs while growing up due to my body not been able to fully synthesize anything with high protein content. Also had to stop using anything soap that was medicated or anticeptic. Used Imperial leather all my young life for body and just water for rinsing the face and hair. He might have dry hair and you applying these soap that contains high amounts of caustic soda might even be complicating it more. Do not wash his hair with soap for now. So better to go with a specialist than just applying different medicine. You already gone through a list of them Nizoral, ketoconazole etc. Also note that these fungal infections are very stubborn and might require months long treatment before you see any improvements. Don't mind people who say they are spiritual. ![]() But why would you even use Terbinafine on a boy? That medicine is always not recommended or recommended as a last resort. That's an extreme one. Stay off any medication. Go to the Teaching hospital. They would run a series of tests and confirm exactly what he is either reacting to or the causative. |

[quote author=Orubebe01 post=122619282][/quote]This leaf is excellent. She should pound like 20 leaves in a mortar and use the juice to rub the head after lightly bruising or scraping the scalp. The unused pounded leaves can be kept in the fridge until next use. |

I am really sorry about your son's condition. I wish for him to power through and become fully healed of it. Like a few people have already said on this topic, this isn't dandruff it's eczema. A particular type of eczema that mainly affects the scalp. You said in your post that you've been using soap and ointments on your son's head. If you care to notice, all that has only worsened your son's condition as is the case with eczema. Most cosmetic soaps and creams only worsen skin conditions such as eczema. My advice is that you desist from using cosmetic products on your son's scalp and use only products that you can confirm are mostly herbal or organic. Also, I suggest you find a medicated hair cream, such as Damatol or Sulfur8 to apply regularly on your son's scalp. Lastly, from the picture you uploaded, it seems his scalp is likely also infected. I say so because eczema is not an infectious disease, it is causes by irritation, meaning that by itself it shouldn't look like what you posted, as what you posted looks more like an infection than an irritation. Like I've already said, I'm not an expert and so I can't say for sure if the infection is bacterial or fungal, but since fungal infections are more common on the scalp than bacterial infections, if I were to guess, I'd say it's a fungal infection. So I would also suggest you buy an anti-fungal cream to apply periodically. If you can, also try to find a dermatologist to consult about your son's condition, not just a doctor. Hope I was able to be of some help. Wishing you the best of luck and your son a speedy recovery. |

7david7:I am really sorry for his condition, I can feel his pain and yours. If you can do the following, I assure you he will start getting relief. I suspect Psoriasis. Here is a formulation that combines five homemade recipes for psoriasis: Ingredients: 1 cup of ground oatmeal 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder 1/4 cup of coconut oil Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oatmeal and aloe vera gel. Mix well until a thick paste forms. Add the apple cider vinegar and turmeric powder to the mixture and stir until well combined. Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or on a stove, and then add it to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Transfer the mixture into a clean, airtight container. To use, apply a generous amount of the mixture to the affected area and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. This formulation combines the soothing and anti-inflammatory properties of oatmeal, aloe vera, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and coconut oil to help reduce psoriasis symptoms such as redness, inflammation, and itching. Note: This is not a substitute for medical care. Do this ASAP to help him relief the pain. |

Get the black label soulmate sulphur from supermart, sulphur itself (You can get that from elewe - Omo people); it's a rocky yellow substance like this. Also, treat him with antibiotics drugs. Ground the sulphur to powder and mix it with the soulmate cream. Scrape off his hair and apply in the morning, afternoon and night. You'll be very glad with the result after 2 months, trust me ☮️ |
