Uh-oh - Dandruff by newbaldguy on 19 Aug, 2013 13:44

Hi guys,
Recently I've been getting some dandruff. That and my hair has always got on my nerves, I've just whipped it all off. I've not shaved with a razor, just hair clippers without a guard.
A rather unforeseen problem has appeared though. It turns out my dandruff is a lot worse than I thought and I now have this white layer where my hair used to be. I've washed and it got rid of some, but some is still there. I don't want to go scrubbing in case it makes my head go red, and I'm in work in the morning.
Any ideas?
Thanks!! -

Dandruff is basically dry skin, perhaps some tea tree oil, witch hazel and aloe vera, and of course a moisturiser

Yes to any and all of the above. Plus the dandruff will lessen with continual head-shaving (since shaving also tends to have a bit of an exfoliating effect).

During an appointment with a Dermatologist for a different reason, he noticed a dry, flaky patch of skin on the bridge of my nose. He advised that I use dandruff shampoo on it, and let it stand for 5 minutes before rinsing. I asked for his recommendation for dandruff shampoo; he replied that they all use one of two active ingredients, and that they both worked.
I did what he said and the patch went away. -

Thanks guys. It does seem to be a lot better just by shaving it. I whacked on a handful of E45 after I did it.
I want to go the whole hog now and get it shaved fully, just need to convince the wife
