Toppingfrmbottom -> When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:38:34 AM)

and I break out with tiny hard pimple like bumps , not just all over my scalp but on my face in the hair line with red bumps just like on my scalp, but you can see these, and they look like pimples. Only they're not.

Itching and stress or just plain itching like mad sucks:([&:]




domiguy -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 8:53:44 AM)

I don't know what it is...But it sounds kind of hot!




KatyLied -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 8:56:09 AM)

do not scratch.  Cold compresses should help




domiguy -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 9:08:18 AM)

I disagree...You have to scratch to let the poison out.

I'm a doctor.




DaddysInkedSlut -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 9:16:12 AM)

Hives perhaps?





Missokyst -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 9:31:22 AM)

Hives. I get them when I am stressed. Cold never works for more than the time it takes to cool down. I find hot water.. very hot, unbearably hot water works to kill the nerve endings

Every few years, eczema will break out along the hairline on the back of my neck.  It is normally in hot weather too.  My dermotologist told me to try the scalpicin before calling and coming to see her, cause I am such a cheap ass, even with insurance.

Anyhow, it works.  It has hydrocortisone in it, but is like water.  I have also used plain hydrocortisone cream on it when I didnt have the scalpicin.

I don't think it could hurt you to try it, but if it rots your head off or something. I am innocent! (the lawyers made me say that part)

Find out from your Dr if it is ok to take Benadryl with your other medications. (It probably will be.)
The Benadryl will stop the itches especially if they are hives. Claritin is less sedating than Benedryl but does not work as well.

Stop using shampoo. Sound crazy ? To most people it does but I will only use it about once a year. Other than that the only soap I'll use is Ivory bar soap. Wanna know why ?

Remember the ice cream commercial where the kids are trying to read the "gredients" off the box ? Read the "gredients" off the back of the bottle of shampoo. That's not soap. It is a chemical detergent and is suitable for washing your clothes, your car and so forth. It is not suitable for use on the human body.

I am not saying it is causing your problem, but if you, like many these days, want to at least try to help yourself and self diagnose, you need to remove these insidious variables. We can all see how doctors are falling flat on their face, and I see why. They don't realize that most people's bodies are bathed in a fucking chemical spill every day.

I didn't realize how bad it was until I had people move in. This broad has more lotions and potions than I can count.

The skin, of which the scalp is a part, is the largest organ in the human body. It not only excretes in the form of sweat, which ideally removes toxins from the body, it also absorbs.

If you can find unrefined sea salt and use it in a bath, soaking in it will result in your body gaining precious trace minerals from it. I am NOT talking about what is labelled bath salt in the store. I mean natural salt, as it came from the ocean.

Want unmitigatable proof it is right here at http/collarchat - this thread next paragraph.

Nitroglycerin patch, nicotine patch.

Damn, that took alot of research huh !

Homeopaths, or somethingopaths have a saying that I find to be quite good advice. If you won't eat it don't put it on your skin. That makes sense to me. But what makes sense to me is not always within the realm of common knowledge. But you have been here with several problems and that indicates that you are at least willing to try to help yourself rather than run off to a fucking neurosurgeon every time you get a hangnail. Thus it's worthy of a response.

When you are ready to take your health into your own hands, I mean for real, read the label on every last thing in your bathroom, like you hopefully do on foods. I put doctors down because they can't diagnose their way out of a paper bag sometimes, but even the most competent ones have no idea what you've been soaking in or eating and drinking. As educated as they are, even the smart ones are faced with too many variables. And Women are the worst when it comes to this. Body wash, shampoo, douche, perfumes of whatever origin. Most of your bodies are about like an accident at a chemical plant.

Let me tell you a true story, and there are people alive who can back this up. Jim Watt saved his daughter's life. She was not doing well, had problems as well as a rash, and they were in doubt as to whether she would make it. He gets down to the hospital of course and after a bit sees this thing they stuck on the kid's skin, it was a body temperature indicator, the latest technology. He said "Get that thing off of her", they replied "but that's a ......" "I don't fucking care, get it the fuck off of her, NOW". They did and the kid recovered fully. They had no fucking clue that her body had an adverse reaction to the adhesive used on these patches. He saw it in a matter of minutes. In fact they were so fucking stooooopid that they had moved it a few times because there was a problem with her skin at the site where they placed it ! You would think they would figure it out.

If you think I'm a liar or some shit, this Woman is now about 30 years old and if pressed I could probably get her to release her medical records to you. Of course her Dad was sorry later as she started bumming money off of him and getting tatoos and such :-) He was very opposed to such things. But that's the way of life. These youngins' today......, started many generations ago.

I could also refer you to one Dr. R.J. Rodale, but won't because he died in his fifties. He lived such a clean life, owned his own farm and everything. But he lived too clean, when the crops got dusted on an adjacent farm he experienced a loss of equilibrium and a few other symptoms. His system was so clean that he was hypersensitive to the poisons that most are subjected to each and every day of their lives.

So we must find a balance. These poisons are part of our environment and we have to adapt. But it is foolish to cause the need to adapt to a thousand different things that are unneeded. Too many variables and you'll never figure anything out. At least cut it down to the basic, normal poisons. 

Another thing Jim Watt had an opinion on was douches and all that, like perfume. Even if they tell you what's in it you have no idea how it affects the human body. Actually if you eat right you don't need much in the way of perfume because you will smell like a human, rather than a rotting corpse.

And another thing that trips the doctors up is the relationship between the body and the brain. They just don't get it. The body can indeed cause a chemical imbalance in the brain. Also the brain, via control through the endocrine system can definitely affect the body. But what is hard to comprehend is how it works both ways. And now that we live in the world of specialisation, the problem is exaserbated.

I'll try to help anyone who tries to help themselves, and I prefer to do it out here in the open forum. Others might not want to believe what I say, but characteristically when that happens, at least in real life, later they come back and make it a point to tell me that I was right.

And noone in their right mind would ever argue against the assertion that even under a doctor's care, you must be proactive in your treatment. You can only think that you are putting your life in someone else's hands, but it is always in your's.

Think well, and get rid of as many of these poisons as possible so we might find some raw data with which to work.

Termy,

Ivory is very drying to a lot of people.

There are othere options: Dr. Bronner's castile soap among them.




DesFIP -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 6:04:43 PM)

I forced the stepson to use Pine Tar shampoo last year when his eczema was really bad. Smells horrible but worked within two shampooings.




Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:07:11 PM)

To late I already did, but I am trying not to.

Thanks for the cold compress tip.

I've had hives before, and I guess hives can be different each time depending on what causes them, but when I had them before they were red puffy swollen spots, that looked more like miskito bites than pimples, but Daddy thinks they could be hives too.

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:14:08 PM)

angelika, Claritin does not do shit for me, I do find benadryl affective sometimes, and will be sure to ask my Dr if it is ok, like you said it should be. All I need to do is put a quick call into the advice line or leave a message stating I would like a phone call dr appointment.

angelikaJ -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:14:50 PM)

It almost sounds like prickly heat...but it is an unusual place for that.

So, I am wondering if one of your medications might be surpressing sweating?

...and then in the heat your sweat glands could get inflamed.
Which would be a lot like prickly heat.

or you could be sensitive to your shampoo and the heat and sweat could aggravate it.




Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:21:04 PM)

Nah, I believe full well people can have allergic reactions to adhesives and stuff, this isn t the first time I have heard that.

Sounds to me like you have shingles.....it is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. If you had chicken pox as a child and this goes for anyone who had them, the virus lives in your body in a dormant state. As we get older we are more prone to getting the shingles. They can appear anywhere on the body and start out as a tingling feeling that turns into a rash, sometimes painful and can last for up to 30 days without treatment. I am all for self diagnoses and natural remedies but sometimes a trip to the doctor is necessary. I hope this is a help and I hope you get to feeling better soon.




Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: When stressed or hot, my scalp itches something fierce (7/5/2010 7:58:09 PM)

Hmmm, well some of the medication does make one sensitive to heat, I will have to check the side affects of my meds, but this has happened on and off even before the meds.

Once a long time ago the dr diagnosed me as having ceboric dermatitis, He looked at my scalp and saw the red bumps and the scabs from scratching my scalp to death and where the scalp was oozing clear fluid and blood also from digging myself near insane, and told me to use Selson blue, but the shit just made my scalp itch burn and hurt more , and heaven help you if it got on my facial skin, because that shit buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurned like fire on my skin if it touched my face and since I was told by the dr to rub it into my eyebrows that is how I found out it was so freakin offensive to my  facial skin..

The itching stops the moment I am not hot or stressed any more. The little red bumps stay around for a while, in fact, even up to a day later you can still feel them and see them, even if I am not itchy.

The red bumps in the picture when I googled it, looked exactly like the red bumps that pop up on my scalp, face and hair line.
