Suggest Treatment For Dry And Flaky Skin On The Scalp
Question: Hi there ,
I had skin allergies since I born . When I was young the allergy was all over my body , the Doctors called that atopic dermatitis, but for the last two years its only on my scalp and a little bit on my back ,its more flaky , sometimes it gets pussy , sometimes all scalp gets wet. I do not really have any other illness - like heart problems , migraine, high pressure or etc... I am with my partner for over 2 years , and I wish to start using birth control pills, I went to doctor to get a prescription , her opinion was that I need to take yazminelle pills (as I am young (22),I never took c/pills before) so it is the best choice for me ,but as I read a lot in internet yazminelle pills are not that good for people who has dermatitis or other skin sickness . Could you recommend me the best birth control pills with my situation?
Kind regards ,
XXXX
P.S. So sorry for my english .Thank you so much.

Brief Answer:
in some women, causes an improvement
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
As you mentioned, you seem to have seborrheic dermatitis.
In addition to the antihistamine (zyrtec , piriton) and steroid cream, you might want to add an antifungal shampoo such as ketoconazole or selsun or tar shampoo.
Though some persons may have a bad reaction to the XXXXXXX it is one of the contraceptives that can actually help other women with seb dermatitis. I can provide a link to an article listing it as one of the birth controls that may help.
If you are not comfortable using it then you can try another combined oral contraceptive, eg eg microgynon, loestrin, rigevidon,aviane, ogestrel
One of these would work for you if you are not comfortable with the XXXXXXX
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Hi there again ,
Thanks for your answer first of all.
I am just afraid to get my allergies worse . My skin is very dry as , and I read before about XXXXXXX on internet (maybe its wrong) that its good for people who has acne and oily skin, and not really suitable for dermatitis or eczema because it could make it worse . I can not really say if I feel not comfortable with yazmine , just because I never tried before. Wanna make sure what it is the best chose , and how to know it? Do you look for component hormones which are good for dermatitis ?
I live in Dublin and to find a good doctor is really hard here ,sometimes I just feel that with my allergies experience I know much more than them.
My last doctor didint even listen to me , she just gave me prescription for yazminelle pills as in her opinion they are the best for young woman. Maybe they are .
I wish to hear your final recommendation .
