How do I get rid of a dry scalp?

How do I get rid of my dry scalp type dandruff?

• I have tried many times to get rid of my dandruff but it won't go away. I have tried everything from olive oil to yogurt, selsun blue to head & shoulders and it just won't go away. I also notice some dryness and flaking around the sides of my nose and in between my eyebrows. I literally just used pyrithione zinc shampoo (head & shoulders for dry scalp) and I'm still seeing flaking on my hairline and I still see flakes when I fluff my hair with my hands. It seems like my hairline is the only place I'm seeing the flakes, when I fluff anywhere else I don't see them. Seems like there is no hope, I don't have medical insurance so I can't go see a doctor or dermatologist. Any suggestions? Any advice will help.

• Answer:

  Hi there, I do think you have a form of psoriasis. You could go to the pharmacist to ask for the best advice on what to use, which would cost you nothing except for the purchase of something like coal tar shampoo. However, if you do have psoriasis, as you get older this can turn into something more like psoriatic arthritis. I would advise you to get some insurance now, before you get your diagnosis on your medical records, otherwise the insurance will be invalid. Don't even get the psoriasis on your records until you have gone by the date that your policy stipulates that it will pay you out. I hope this helps.
