Title: Red Patches on Scalp
Post by: nrfuller on January 30, 2009, 01:07:05 PM
Hey folks, I'm not sure if this question belongs in the "grooming" section or not, but since there wasn't really a better place for it- I decided to try asking it here and hope for the best.

Basically I've got dandruff (which is the ultimate irony since I'm also bald) and I'm trying to find a shampoo that is strong enough to fight that dandruff without causing redness of the scalp. I've been using a medicated shampoo which works well and is great for guys with hair because the scalp redness doesn't show. But I don't have hair (or much hair anyhow) and so the redness caused by this shampoo is quite evident.

Can anyone out there recommend a shampoo that's strong enough to fight dandruff, but not SO strong that it leaves a redness? That redness does fade after a few days but it's so evident in those few days that it's not really worth it. What I'd really like to find is something that fights dandruff and doesn't harm the scalp, etc. If there's anything like that out there and anyone knows about it, I'd really love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone may have!

Well you will find that many who had dandruff with their hair, that once they shaved, the dandruff took care of it's self.  I never had dandruff so Im not sure what the time frame is after shaving that it took care of itself.  I am sure almost immediately because you can put moisturizing lotion on your noggin after you shave.  I will have to ask you , are you using a moisturizing lotion on your scalp when you finish shaving??

Try using a body wash that has oatmeal in it it helps somewhat with dry skin

I used to get redness on my scalp, but all that went away once I started shaving it.   

Give it a try.

You may want to check with a dermatologist to see if you have psoriasis.

I have never head of dandruff on a nald head. Dandruff is associated with a scalp condition, not the skin. You might have psoriasis, or dry flakey skin. As for a shampoo I recommend Bald Guyz Daily Wash & Shampoo to clean and moisturize the skin. You might want to use our Moisture Gel after shaving as our skin conditioners and calmers relieve redness and irritation.
