Me too! A couple of drops of lavender oil in a very neutral ungreasy moisturiser works wonders for me for my face, and tea tree oil shampoo is the best thing I’ve found for my scalp.

SuiXi3D@fedia.io 1 week agoI got ‘lucky’ and the tiny bit of my DNA attributed to my Neanderthal ancestors is responsible for my awful skin. I have, apparently, incurable dandruff that’s spread to my ears and face. It’s a real pain. Unless I am constantly (and I mean that) washing my face and scalp, it never goes away. Dealt with it all my life.

Don’t use shampoo. Shampoo is designed to strip away all natural oils and moisture and sell you more products to deal with it.

tea tree oil shampoo
I tried some a few months ago and it’s the only thing that’s ever worked for my scalp, but it does nothing for my face or ears. I’ll have to try your solution.

some tibetians have denisovan genes too.

My friend, in all likelihood that is not dandruff, it is probably psoriasis provoked/worsened by something environmental or dietary.
Dandruff arises from a fungal infection.

Tell that to the antifungal shampoo and face wash I was prescribed that did nothing to help.

That supports my point, it’s not dandruff.
If it were dandruff the antifungal would have an effect.
In all likelihood you have psoriasis (which I also have so I’m not stupid, I know it’s an incurable autoimmune disorder) provoked to bloom by something in your diet.

If there’s any kind of medication, I’ve tried it. Ask my GP and my ENT doctors.
