Shampoo causes itching and burning

It doesn't matter what type of shampoo I use it causes itching and burning. I have tried all sorts of shampoo, without sulfates and perfume etc. I have tried baby shampoo and itchy scalp shampoo I have never been able to use hair conditioner as sends me mad with itching. I rinse and rinse my scalp after washing my hair and dread washing it, I very often end up rinsing my scalp again the next day because it is itching and burning. If you have any answers I would really appreciate it.

Regards

Brenda.

Re: Shampoo causes itching and burning

Dear Brenda,

Thank you for your question. I am so sorry to hear that you have such a sensitive scalp. It sounds like you may have seborrheic dermatitis. Ask you GP or dermatologist to prescribe you Etrivex medicated shampoo.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
