Hi Mireille, I have a question, my sister has eczema on her scalp for the first time. The hairdresser noticed that she had something on her head. Roos tells my sister the hairdresser didn't think so and said she should go to the doctor. And she did, the doctor said she had eczema? And gave something to help her get rid of the eczema.
My sister is quite ashamed of it. What else can she do if it doesn't help? And could it also be caused by the hairdresser?
Hopefully you can answer my question. Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Arnoul

Hi Arnoul,
Thank you for your question. I know it is easier said than done, but your sister does not have to be ashamed of her condition. Eczema is one of the most searched words on the Internet. So she is not alone. There are many people with eczema, also on the scalp, looking for a solution.
That is not easy to be honest. To treat eczema you need to know the cause, but that is precisely what is so difficult. Eczema can have many different causes, varying from stress to an allergy to detergents. According to the medical world, eczema is not contagious. So you cannot literally get it from a hairdresser, but perhaps from the products that are used. It can be something as simple as a soap.
To start with, the question of how long your sister has had eczema is an important one. I understand that she thought it was dandruff, but that the hairdresser determined that it was more than dandruff. If she knows approximately how long ago it all started, you can perhaps link the cause to a change that has taken place: stress, medication or very simply a different hair product or hair treatment.
Getting rid of it can be a long search. From what I have read, it is best to stop hair treatments such as coloring and relaxing. In addition, it is important to switch to natural products as much as possible.
When it comes to natural products, pure Almond oil is the first thing I would recommend. This oil has been used for a long time in Chinese and Indian medicine to treat phorasis and eczema. In addition, a friend of an Almond oil-based ointment uses it for her child who suffers from phorasis. So one option is to get pure Almond oil from the reformed store and try that.
Another solution could be to try the products of Paige, the girl in the picture. She also suffered from eczema, because she did not wash her hair with shampoo. Fortunately, she got rid of it by working on it herself. You can read the reason here: https://chicwithkinks.com/2011/07/29/why-the-no-poo-method-isnt-always-good-for-your-hair/.
Paig now has her own hair line based on her experience. The products are in her online shop TC Naturals . I really hope this helps you and that you keep me updated on the developments. Good luck!
