You saved my life, I have been fighting seborrheic dermatitis for 11 year, and everything just made it worse. Now I can say that one month after watching your video for the first time my scalp is clear after 11 year.
I went to a dermatologist and literally said no information and our appointment lasted 5 minutes and you gave us all this information. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge :)
Use an applicator bottle to apply medicated shampoo to your scalp only. I rotate between Nizoral and Selsun Blue Salicylic Acid formula and apply neosporin to my scalp after I shampoo. The Neosporin kills any bacteria under the skin on your scalp that can keep fungus lurking
This is SUPER helpful! I went to a dermatologist and they just told me “You have uncontrollable yeast and we’re just gonna give some medicine.” Didn’t explain anything. This video made this make SO MUCH SENSE! Thank you!
I've been suffering from that for 15 years, all the doctors I went to were confused or gave me a wrong diagnosis, the last one gave me the right diagnosis but she didn't help me with the treatment. I have a high expectations for your advice I'll try-it definitely thanks a million
This video. Changed my life. I spent many late nights suffering from my scalp but now it is very manageable and flare ups are much less likely. Can’t thank you enough
I definitely think my 15 year old daughter has this conditon. I've brought it up so many times to her pediatrician and I'm continuously told that it's just dandruff, but I know for sure it's not. It's been so frustrating, so I'm definitely going to try this routine. Grateful for this video.
I bought the T/Sal (not T/Gel, I wanted the salicylic acid not the coal tar) and the Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Daily Moisture Scalp Cream (as opposed to the recommended elixir in this video), and just completed this treatment in the shower. My scalp feels SOOOO GOOD!!! To my surprise my scalp was actually red in some areas while I was parting through sections and applying the shampoo. Once I was ready to deep condition, I applied the scalp cream between my parts and my scalp was a neutral colour and CLEAN!!! No flakes in sight!! My issue has always been that I wash my hair and the flakes didn't go away, or would be sticking to my strands, making me feel like I didn't wash my hair properly!! This remedy is the truth!! THANK YOU DR. STEPHENS!! (I will still see a dermatologist if this doesn't help long term, but thought I would try your tips first!!)
I'm gonna try this! Bc I have dandruff bad. Dry& itchy scalp & it's like you explained. I wash my hair& it's sometimes still on my scalp& flakes in my hair. I've been hear abt the head & shoulder that you're talking about& May will try the Tsal. I never heard of that. But I've heard of Tgel Neutrogena before
I have 3C/ 4A hair and im so glad to see a recommendation of washing once a week. It was hard to keep up with every 3 days. It’s very drying. I was using another shampoo but now going to Definitely try these recommended methods instead! Especially the face !
Hi Dr. Alexis, For a future 'Medical Monday', I'd love to see a video on toenail care. Specifically, what products you recommend to keep toenails free from becoming ingrown, yellowing/thickening/fungus. Thanks for your help & informative videos 🥰
Omg I do scalp treatments for my hubby all the time to get the skin clear & knowing that I have to rotate a few of the right products is very helpful! Thank you 🙏 😊
For me, either Viatmin C powder mixed with jojoba oil (1/16 gram with 1 teaspoon oil and a drop of water to smooth the graininess), or for prescription treatments alternate Pimecrolimus Cream with Ciclopirox cream.
I have this condition and I was prescribed prescription strength ketoconazole shampoo. It didn’t make my hair dry at all it actually corrected the issue and made my hair grow. I don’t even use a conditioner with it and my hair looks great. I do have Vanicream shampoo and conditioner at home along with their cleansing bar and that’s all I can use. Companies need to be mindful and make more fragrance products…we are the forgotten customers 😢
I've dealt with dry, itchy scalp for years and it's developed into large flakes these past couple years. I haven't seen a dermatologist but I'm almost positive I have Seborrheic dermatitis. I'm definitely going to try some of these products to see if it gives me any relief. Thank you so much for posting this ♥️
There really isnt enough information out there about this condition. Been struggling with it for years, even got some hair loss around my edges from it. Got it under control with a selenium sulfide shampoo, but the hair I did lose hasn't grown back.
Look into Bea’s Bayou skincare. They have probiotic drops that help soothe the scalp & stop SD breakouts. I’ve been struggling with it 12 years & it’s been a game changer for me. If I use the drops daily & keep up with my weekly wash day I rarely have any issues with my scalp
I had been struggling with this for years also. Finally I found that mixing sulfur powder with some vaseline or coconut oil and applying it to my scalp every 2 weeks I don't get any flare ups.
Thanks Dr, this is helpful. Just for the comment section though: this condition is also a dietary problem. Yeast love a diet high in sugar, carbs and junk- they thrive on that stuff. If you have this problem PLEASE GET your blood sugar levels checked ASAP. It could be a sign of early diabetes.
I have the condition on my face and scalp. Yes yes and yes, sugary foods / drinks, and dairy/ milky drinks always give me a flare up. So I limit my consumption of those but do not wear any kind of makeup or creams. I sweat a lot and it would be nice to have the correct cleaners and moisturizer to use on my face.
Definitely needed this video! Thank you so much. I was so excited when I saw your short version and was hoping this one was on the way. Prayer answered!👏🏽 I started suffering with this in my 20s and it's been a struggle ever since. Seen a couple of dermatologists for the condition, but this video has been the most helpful. Unfortunately, my son started suffering from this some years back as well and he's only 11. This is especially helpful because it's practical. You provide solutions that a black woman (and child), with kinky/coily hair can actually implement. The first derm I saw told me to wash my 4c afro daily with a drying medicated shampoo. Side eye and goodbye. The second one simply reiterated using the medicated shampoo, with no additional information. After lots of research, trial and error, and coming close (many times) to shaving my head just to be able to wash it daily, my the condition is under better control. However, this information you provided will help to improve our routines even more. I never knew the importance of using the leave on scalp treatments. That will definitely be added. I appreciate this thorough explanation more than you know. Thank you again for all you do!
This video definitely helped me with my SD. I had been dealing with it for a while and seen a doc that prescribed me ketaconazole and it didn’t help. After watching this and following the directions given, my SD has started to clear up 🙌🏾. Thank you for making this video.
OMG Dr. Stephens thank you so much for this video. My entire family is suffering from this issue and your video is the first and only one I have found to provide me with proper information and guidance. I am so happy to have found your channel. ❤️
Right, i have some dandruff looking scales in my scalp which i would have thought was SD, now i seem to have psoriasis spots on my skin as well, hard to tell whether they are both the same
@@vegtbull Same. Derm told me that if your hands elbows legs are affected then it is psoriasis and psoriasis creates a thick layer than SD. Though both are difficult to treat. Managing Psoriasis is more tough.
I have a sensitive itchy dermatitis scalp, folliculitis, and very coarse thick wavy salt and pepper hair. I just tried Superzero solid shampoo for flakes and itches and it made my scalp feel less itchy. It also made my hair shiny, soft, and bouncy. Love it so far!
What a great video that is full of information. In fact, my friend was also suffering from this problem. During this problem, he was very upset. Then someone told him about Institute of Applied Food Allergy®, he went there and got treatment. Now he is fine. So, if anyone is facing this kind of problem or any other health related problem. You should contact Institute of Applied Food Allergy®.
Love this video. Thank you. I was wondering if you could clarify somethings. 1.) Should we be using the products for the flakes daily? 2.) How often should we switch out the different shampoos? 3.) Once the flakes are gone, should we still be doing this, or only once they reappear? Once again, thank you. Love your videos.
Thank you sooooo much for this! I’m a diabetic (type 1) and the insulin is causing this in my scalp! I’ve seen dermatologist but they don’t seem to help me! I really appreciate this and you!!
Thank you for this video! I’ve been suffering from seb Derm for about a year now and had the right shampoo but was using it wrong this entire time. I started using shampoo on my dry hair the way you mentioned and the dry scalp is basically gone in a week! Thanks so much!
@@nahshon2281 DHS Zinc shampoo and any conditioner that I have. For me I’ve found that the shampoo is what made the difference not so much the conditioner. Hope it helps you too
I didn't hear her say that. How in the world would you spread it? It would also be almost impossible to rinse out without saturating the rest of your hair. @@BriMyselfandGod
@@mmmelaneyaround the 7:04 min mark she provides the instructions. Apply shampoo to dry scalp only and let it sit for 5-10 min, rinse it out and follow with a moisturizing shampoo to the entire head/ hair
By far the best explanation ever. The way you talk is so soothing as well. Been to a few dermatologist and they aren't much help. This has been the most helpful, thank you Dr.
I've used prescription shampoos, every over the counter dandruff shampoo and I use Bethamethasone Dipropionate Lotion 5%. I'm currently using the clinical strength Head and Shoulders that you show along with their itch scalp version. The Bethamethasone helps in my ears and relieves some of the itching on my scalp but nothing has ever controlled the dandruff, loss of pigmentation on my forehead, the bleeding and now the hair loss. I also have Eczema on my elbows, legs feet, etc.. Having this condition on my hair is one of my very first memories. At 61 I still walk around with my clothes full of dandruff. It's an embarrassment to me and it was to my kids when they were little. Now that I'm older these shampoos strip the color out of my hair. The Head and Shoulders Clinical is more delicate on my hair color. Thank you for the video.
I started putting the Dandruff shampoo on my scalp versus my hair & boy did that make a difference. Thanks so much! My scalp hasn't been itchy or flakey.
I've been struggling with this condition for several years, but believe I may have recently stumbled upon something that really seems to be helping. I started taking both MSM and selenium (sodium selenite) for other reasons, and my skin has improved dramatically. Other people have had success with caprylic acid, and I do think that helped as well. I think all these things have the potential to help a lot, and it might be worth talking to a doctor about.
Thank you. I will do some research and see if any of these will work for me. I always treat "natural supplements" with the same caution as prescription medication. The side effects can be just as bad. But when you're careful they can (sometimes) be much more effective than meds, not to mention cheaper. For these reasons I normally try "natural" first then prescription when all else fails.
Thank you so much... I've been suffering for years with dry skin behind my ears, eyelids and around my nose... Nothing has really fixed the issue, not even the cream my doctor prescribed me. Hoping to get relief soon.
You are so Amazing ! Nobody talks about this issue and especially with ppl with curly hair it’s hard so wash my hair because it dries out so much but u are so helpful 💓💓💓
Thank you. I appreciate these tips. I went to a dermatologist before about my scalp issue and they just brushed me off. The doctor actually said “ I’m surprised you was your hair once a week, most African Americans only wash their hair once a month.” 😑
Doc u just serve me a trip to the dermatologist,i must admit Im so stressed after having a baby & wondering why Im experiencing all that u described so thanks so much, I'm gonna get to work
Thanks for talking about this. I feel like no one has until recently, and I've had severe Seb Derm for 30 years. It seems to be much more common now. I wonder why? Some ingredients in skin products that weren't common in the past? Some water additives or food additives that weren't used as often before? I wonder if this is happening in non-Western countries, or even outside the US?
Thank you for Medical Mondays!!! I have tried every last one of those products and they flare my seborrheic dermatitis. The absolute best and most efficient treatment for me is mixture of Apple-Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda. Saved my life and my wallet, not to mention how great my scalp feels for weeks afterward.
I would love to kno exactly how you do it. Anything to save my wallet is a yes for me. At least I can try right ✅ 🤷🏽♀️ I must advise you though, consuming sugar in drinks and foods and also dairy products always give me a flare up. I basically do nothing as funds are low.
@@elizabethroblyn1392 Apple-Cider Vinegar (1 Cup) and Baking Soda (1/2 cup) mixture. It will foam... Apply to head/scalp and gently scrub then rinse and repeat. Then wash and condition as normal or skip the shampoo process all together. I generally use this process once monthly, but I haven't had use it now going on three months (I wash once with a small amount of shampoo and condition as normal). The flakes have not returned thus far and I too have a poor diet and have suffered from seborrheic dermatitis for 49 yrs... It also cleanses my face (eyebrow & nose area) and rarely have to treat those anymore. I previously used a steroid based lotion prescribed daily; now only once monthly. I'm not saying it's for everyone but my children and I are thankful we tried it. I got the remedy from a hairdresser around 2 1/2 years ago for the FREE $$ .99 (ABSOLUTEY FREE).
Thank you so much, I am looking forward to next Medical Monday! I would love to see something about contact dermatitis or topical allergies. I've just recently been diagnosed with an allergy to neosporin, and dealing with the rash has been an interesting experience. I have my first appointment with a derm in a few weeks!
My scalp had become really sensitive and a constant burning pain sensation. I was so relieved with the SB diagnosis from my dermatologist, because I knew something was wrong, but didn't have a name for it. I can't believe the pain and discomfort! My hair is too sensitive to comb at the moment. I really hope the prescription shampoo and steroid oil work!
I am so glad you made a video covering this topic. My dermatologist continuously prescribes betamethasone to help treat seb derm on my scalp but it no longer works for me. Are they’re any natural remedies to help relieve the irritating effects of seb derm? I know you mentioned tea tree oil and peppermint oil.
I am doing tip # 4, I will try to alternate the salycidic acid shampoo with the Paul Mitchell tea tree oil shampoo. I still have to use a Dermasmooth prescription because I can have sevre flare ups sometimes. I also use a shower head filter an di helps a lot with so many chemicals they put in the water. Very informative video, thanks, doc!
Thanks Dr. Stephen’s I just went to the doctor was a little relieved but mine too was a five minute visit he prescribed triamcinolone cream during the day and one for night time daily. Go back for follow up in 2 weeks.
Thank you for this info!! Could you do a video on those white spots you mentioned from this fungus and how to get rid of them? My poor daughter suffers from these white spots especially in the summer when she gets a tan, they standout. It is good to know the spots are linked to the dandruff that she has been suffering from 😢
This was amazing!! The description box alone is chock-full of valuable information. Thank you Dr. Alexis! You're time and expertise is so appreciated! How often should we rotate shampoo?
Great video! Head and shoulders supreme works wonders for me - not drying at all! Used to use Nizoral and T Gel but they were too drying. Also found that, since I haven’t straightened or blow dried my hair for over 7 months, my scalp is much calmer! Can you do a video on treatment for Angular Cheilitis? I’ve suffered from severely cracked corners of my mouth for over two years. Been seen by my doctor several times but it just won’t heal despite anti fungal creams, steroid creams, fragrance free skincare, rare application of makeup, blood tests to see if I have deficiencies (only vitamin D which I now supplement), SPF daily and constant use of recommended repair lip balms. It’s so painful and unsightly. Any tips would be much appreciated!! You’re doing a great job, I love your videos!
I have no idea if this will help, but I had cracked sores on the corners of my mouth during cancer treatment. My immune system was so low that neither Neosporin nor tea tree oil would help it heal for 3 weeks. My Oncologist finally had to blast it with very strong Mupirocin Ointment. It cleared right up. I wouldn't use it except when nothing else works though because you don't want to be immune to it if you have a life-threatening infection.... Maybe have your dermatologist biopsy the sores first?
I have Seborrheic Dermatitis and nothing have helped until now. I got diabetes and because of that I started a zero carbohydrate diet called carnivore diet, I eat only meat, fish, eggs and fermented dairy. This diet improved my Seborrheic Dermatitis a whole lot, I've stopped using the poison on my head and use ACV to kill the Malassezia and it's good enough but it seams to be secondary. The primary is bad food, don't eat carbs, it's poison.
Conflicting information by other Doctors and people on the internet. Is dry scalp and flaking a mild form of Seborrheic Derm? My scalp isn't greasy at all. Dry, flaky (small), itchy,even after washing with Free & Clear/Vanicream shampoo and conditioner which was recommend by my Derm. She gave me 4 minutes of her time... I wash in luke warm water as well and make sure all shampoo and conditioner is fully washed out. Thank you very much !
You saved my life, I have been fighting seborrheic dermatitis for 11 year, and everything just made it worse. Now I can say that one month after watching your video for the first time my scalp is clear after 11 year.
Congrats!!! I'm glad you found something that works.

Having this condition on my hair is one of my very first memories. At 61 I still walk around with my clothes full of dandruff.
It's an embarrassment to me and it was to my kids when they were little.
Now that I'm older these shampoos strip the color out of my hair. The Head and Shoulders Clinical is more delicate on my hair color.
Thank you for the video.
I started putting the Dandruff shampoo on my scalp versus my hair & boy did that make a difference. Thanks so much! My scalp hasn't been itchy or flakey.
I've been struggling with this condition for several years, but believe I may have recently stumbled upon something that really seems to be helping. I started taking both MSM and selenium (sodium selenite) for other reasons, and my skin has improved dramatically. Other people have had success with caprylic acid, and I do think that helped as well. I think all these things have the potential to help a lot, and it might be worth talking to a doctor about.
be careful w the powdered msm! it causes heart pain, had to go to emerg a few times bc of it!
@@leanneofori-atta137 A few times???! What would make you continue using it?
Thank you. I will do some research and see if any of these will work for me. I always treat "natural supplements" with the same caution as prescription medication. The side effects can be just as bad. But when you're careful they can (sometimes) be much more effective than meds, not to mention cheaper. For these reasons I normally try "natural" first then prescription when all else fails.
Thank you so much... I've been suffering for years with dry skin behind my ears, eyelids and around my nose... Nothing has really fixed the issue, not even the cream my doctor prescribed me. Hoping to get relief soon.
YAASSS for MEDICAL MONDAYS!!!💫❤
I needed this video YEARS ago!! Thanks for sharing 💚
You are so Amazing ! Nobody talks about this issue and especially with ppl with curly hair it’s hard so wash my hair because it dries out so much but u are so helpful 💓💓💓
Is no one gonna talk about how soft spoken she is? 🤧
Dr Stephen, thank you so much for these solution ,your videos are really appreciated.
MCT oil and mineral oil don't feed the yeast, might be a good option to coat hair before applying medicated shampoo, thanks dr. Alexis.
Dr Alexis, thank you so much for all this info. Blessed to you for sharing this knowledge.
I have been put on a medication for multiple sclerosis and my dandruff has gotten so much worse sine i started. Thank you for the video
Awesome video Dr. Stephens! I love your channel and this new addition of medicine mondays. 💗
I just took my teenager to the dermatologist for this condition. He has dreads so he was prescribed some medicated hair oil as well as skin creams.
Wow, so amazingly well explained. Thank you!
Thank you. I appreciate these tips. I went to a dermatologist before about my scalp issue and they just brushed me off. The doctor actually said “ I’m surprised you was your hair once a week, most African Americans only wash their hair once a month.” 😑
Wow. So besides being a bad doctor they're ignorant too.
I was hoping you would make a video on this topic! Thank you Dr. Stephens :)
I'm ugly crying on the inside to hear I've been using my shampoo wrong for DECADES, but also happy I know better now.
Thank you Dr Alexis. Please tackle facial eczema/ dermatitis.
Thank you for doing this video. My daughters big sister just may be able to use this information.
Thank you so much! You're my favorite health and beauty channel you're so thorough and show accessable products!! Excited for Monday's!!!
I hope you can tackle excessive keratosis pilaris next time and the products and remedies that can lessen its appearance. Thanks!
Thank you sooo much 😭 I didn’t know about rotating shampoo I just figured my scalp kept adapting to it , I’ve tried so many.. thanks for your help
Great video! Please do a video on traction alopecia & hair line thinning! Love you!
Doc u just serve me a trip to the dermatologist,i must admit Im so stressed after having a baby & wondering why Im experiencing all that u described so thanks so much, I'm gonna get to work
Thanks for talking about this. I feel like no one has until recently, and I've had severe Seb Derm for 30 years. It seems to be much more common now. I wonder why? Some ingredients in skin products that weren't common in the past? Some water additives or food additives that weren't used as often before? I wonder if this is happening in non-Western countries, or even outside the US?
This could not have come at a better time!! I’m looking forward to the next Medical Monday! 🥰
Thank you for Medical Mondays!!!
I have tried every last one of those products and they flare my seborrheic dermatitis. The absolute best and most efficient treatment for me is mixture of Apple-Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda. Saved my life and my wallet, not to mention how great my scalp feels for weeks afterward.
I would love to kno exactly how you do it. Anything to save my wallet is a yes for me. At least I can try right ✅ 🤷🏽♀️
I must advise you though, consuming sugar in drinks and foods and also dairy products always give me a flare up. I basically do nothing as funds are low.
@@elizabethroblyn1392 Apple-Cider Vinegar (1 Cup) and Baking Soda (1/2 cup) mixture. It will foam... Apply to head/scalp and gently scrub then rinse and repeat. Then wash and condition as normal or skip the shampoo process all together. I generally use this process once monthly, but I haven't had use it now going on three months (I wash once with a small amount of shampoo and condition as normal). The flakes have not returned thus far and I too have a poor diet and have suffered from seborrheic dermatitis for 49 yrs... It also cleanses my face (eyebrow & nose area) and rarely have to treat those anymore. I previously used a steroid based lotion prescribed daily; now only once monthly. I'm not saying it's for everyone but my children and I are thankful we tried it. I got the remedy from a hairdresser around 2 1/2 years ago for the FREE $$ .99 (ABSOLUTEY FREE).
Such good information I am so happy for your sharing appreciate it.
Thank you so much, I am looking forward to next Medical Monday! I would love to see something about contact dermatitis or topical allergies. I've just recently been diagnosed with an allergy to neosporin, and dealing with the rash has been an interesting experience. I have my first appointment with a derm in a few weeks!
This video has been so helpful! Thank you, Doc, sincerely!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
thank you. i have been using the medicated shampoo on my whole hair and was so dry.
now i know now its only for my scalp
Thank you for all this great information 🙏
My scalp had become really sensitive and a constant burning pain sensation. I was so relieved with the SB diagnosis from my dermatologist, because I knew something was wrong, but didn't have a name for it. I can't believe the pain and discomfort! My hair is too sensitive to comb at the moment. I really hope the prescription shampoo and steroid oil work!
I am so glad you made a video covering this topic.
My dermatologist continuously prescribes betamethasone to help treat seb derm on my scalp but it no longer works for me. Are they’re any natural remedies to help relieve the irritating effects of seb derm? I know you mentioned tea tree oil and peppermint oil.
Great video and so much helpful information! Love your calming and soft voice! How do you use the tree tea and peppermint oils?
Thank you, this is what I'm struggling with
I am doing tip # 4, I will try to alternate the salycidic acid shampoo with the Paul Mitchell tea tree oil shampoo. I still have to use a Dermasmooth prescription because I can have sevre flare ups sometimes. I also use a shower head filter an di helps a lot with so many chemicals they put in the water. Very informative video, thanks, doc!
Thanks Dr. Stephen’s I just went to the doctor was a little relieved but mine too was a five minute visit he prescribed triamcinolone cream during the day and one for night time daily. Go back for follow up in 2 weeks.
Thank you for this info!! Could you do a video on those white spots you mentioned from this fungus and how to get rid of them? My poor daughter suffers from these white spots especially in the summer when she gets a tan, they standout. It is good to know the spots are linked to the dandruff that she has been suffering from 😢
This was amazing!! The description box alone is chock-full of valuable information. Thank you Dr. Alexis! You're time and expertise is so appreciated!
How often should we rotate shampoo?
Great video! Head and shoulders supreme works wonders for me - not drying at all! Used to use Nizoral and T Gel but they were too drying. Also found that, since I haven’t straightened or blow dried my hair for over 7 months, my scalp is much calmer!
Can you do a video on treatment for Angular Cheilitis? I’ve suffered from severely cracked corners of my mouth for over two years. Been seen by my doctor several times but it just won’t heal despite anti fungal creams, steroid creams, fragrance free skincare, rare application of makeup, blood tests to see if I have deficiencies (only vitamin D which I now supplement), SPF daily and constant use of recommended repair lip balms. It’s so painful and unsightly. Any tips would be much appreciated!!
You’re doing a great job, I love your videos!
I have no idea if this will help, but I had cracked sores on the corners of my mouth during cancer treatment. My immune system was so low that neither Neosporin nor tea tree oil would help it heal for 3 weeks. My Oncologist finally had to blast it with very strong Mupirocin Ointment. It cleared right up. I wouldn't use it except when nothing else works though because you don't want to be immune to it if you have a life-threatening infection.... Maybe have your dermatologist biopsy the sores first?
I have Seborrheic Dermatitis and nothing have helped until now. I got diabetes and because of that I started a zero carbohydrate diet called carnivore diet, I eat only meat, fish, eggs and fermented dairy. This diet improved my Seborrheic Dermatitis a whole lot, I've stopped using the poison on my head and use ACV to kill the Malassezia and it's good enough but it seams to be secondary. The primary is bad food, don't eat carbs, it's poison.
Conflicting information by other Doctors and people on the internet. Is dry scalp and flaking a mild form of Seborrheic Derm? My scalp isn't greasy at all. Dry, flaky (small), itchy,even after washing with Free & Clear/Vanicream shampoo and conditioner which was recommend by my Derm. She gave me 4 minutes of her time... I wash in luke warm water as well and make sure all shampoo and conditioner is fully washed out. Thank you very much !
Ohhh my goodness. This is sooo BEYOND helpful!! Thank you so much. I took some goodt notes! Any tips on finding black dermatologists near me?
