Suffering From Itchy Scalp, Congested Sinus, Constipation. Unable To Diagnose The Cause. What Could This Be?
for decades I have lived with chronic itchy scalp and congested sinuses. I used to get outbreaks of small round spots on skin with pus in the centre and outer red circle. But the skin spots stopped when I cut out dairy. but scalp and sinuses always remained problematic. in last couple of months I was either constipated or diuretic. I cut out gluten which helped a lot but gut is still up and down. And now I have another of those distinctive skin spot appear on my skin. what is going on with me? no dr can give answers. ps I exercise to help keep the chronic fatigue under control

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You seem having a multiple problems more or less nonspecific, you have not mentioned your age and gender so here it is difficult to give exact opinion, any way, here I would advise you to change your diet, change your life style, along with this some routine investigation has to be done like blood sugar test, in diet you can have fiber containing diet, drink lot of water, regular exercise, your immune system should be improved, have nice day.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history, it seems that you may be having scalp folliculitis. This may be unrelated to your gastrointestinal problem. Gluten sensitivity has a different picture on the skin. You could take a course of antibiotics which will help your folliculitis. Topical antibiotics also help to prevent recurrences.
Stress can play a major role in exacerbating both your skin and gut problem. Ai try to cut down your stress by yoga, meditation, etc.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
