Flaky Head - page 1 -

• Hey my sly brothers!
  
  I went on a four day camping trip over Labor Day.  We stayed at a campground on a lake and had a great time grilling, drinking and swimming.  I used sunscreen often.  I didn't burn or anything, but now my head is flaky, dry and itches like crazy.
  
  I've been using Aloe, but it only helps for a few minutes.  I think it must be really dry from the sun, sand and lake water.  Any ideas for some long lasting relief?  It's driving me crazy.

• Maybe try some good lotion?
  I've never experienced what you are saying. If it's not sunburned skin peeling, I'm assuming your skin it just really really dry.
  I wonder if using Head and Shoulders on a bald scalp would help out any?

  I use the Nivea for Men Extreme after Shave Balm....GREAT STUFF!
  
  It's about $6 for a bottle but a little goes a long way. I use it on both my face and head.

• I use Nivea also because I want to be "just like Mike"...... ....but seriously it is good stuff...!

• One of the reasons I shave my head is to reduce flaking. Shaving my head is the equivalent of exfolliating my skin. I have a skin condition on my scalp, and shaving gives me relief from it.
  
  Did you shave during your camping? If you didn't, that might be the reason you've got some flaking.

• That was a big reason for me also. I shaved my head to let the sun and fresh air get at my scalp and never had another problem with it.

• I know all you hard a$$ men will look down on this, but a couple of years ago I had a real bad case of flaky skin......The girl living next door to me said "try a wax treatment"  It's the wax that they put on their hands and feet to get rid of dead skin (I guess).  She had some and gave me 2 treatments  and it worked like a dream.....and I mean a dream.  No flakes, and left the dome soft and smooooooth.......
  
  
  
  So don't laugh,  and it wont take any hair off the head either......painless

• Thanks for the iniput guys.  I did shave during my trip.  I try to shave every day.  I bought some BaldGuys Moisutrizing Gel today.  maybe that will fix me up.  I didnt' sunburn, as I use sunscreen constantly, so it's got to be extremely dry skin.
  
  Thanks everybody!
