Jelly like substance, Sticky Scalp

November 17,2017


OK!  I have been dealing with this scalp invasion since September 2011, a little over six years.  I must say that most of the little marble like knots under my scalp are gone and things seem to be getting better even though I still have rows upon rows of hairs continuing to break off at just above the scalp and all the hair seems to have the sticky stuff at the roots. It still itches, but not as much.  I stopped shaving my head and my hair is still thick and is growing very long.  The color was always like blond, naturally , but it has grown darker with this stuff in the roots.  Hopefully you will go to the comments section of this blog to read what experiences others are having.  I am amazed at how many of us actually have something going on under our scalp, coming out of every hair.!!!

I checked my "stats" for this blog and the All Time History Page Views are from the USA only numbering 25,623!!!! Since 2011. That's people looking for answers.  Which I do not have, but as we all share information it may help to understand what can happen with scalps.  It seems to be a part of our body which has little knowledge focused about it.

I have come to believe that our cases are unique to something in our enviornment, a new microb, new strains of "something" no one knows exists right now.  Like we are the first. It may sound strange, but I have wondered if I was abducted by ETs and something was implanted within my head and I have had a reaction to the foreign body.  But I also think this is a very intelligent something because it travels systematically row by row taking hairs, leaving hairs, growing new hairs.  Wherever the jelly stuff is, it seems to be in the middle of a patch of hair that feels like to me a flower. The petals of the flower curl up around the jelly spot.

Yet, I have less and less jelly spots these days.  One brave person commented that he opened his scalp and sucked the stuff out!!!  I thought to open my scalp too, but I felt it would be too invasive and I needed to heal from within side, then out. 

Do let us hear from you, especially when you find out what the stuff is.  Spiritually our crown chakras are opening for the Golden Age and this is good, but physically it can be quite annoying.

Love YOU,
Vimala

LIVE ON with scalp folliculitis

Living with scalp folliculitis takes some time.  It has taken me hundreds of dollars and many remedies to finally allow my hair to grow and to accept this condition upon my scalp.  I have favorite times during a day to scratch my head.  I wear a hat or ball cap at other times and sometimes I wear nothing at all and just allow my head to be free.  It has been five years since the onset and the stuff has covered my whole head more than once. For a long time I shaved my head bald. Since this past New Year 2016 I haven't cut my hair at all and it is growing longer and longer.  The less I focus upon the folliculitis the less it bothers me.  I have given up on the expensive shampoos, the rinses, the medicines, the creams and just wash my hair regularly and used a cream rinse.  That's it.

I spent years researching, but there really is nothing to be found.  I had three biospies, nothing but folliculitis and one actenic keratosis.   What causes it, unknown.  Source, unknown. How long does it last, unknown.  There has been no testing or studies to my knowledge on the subject.

It is just something to ACCEPT and LIVE on as happily as possible.  Just keep the hair watched and wear a hat to keep your hand from touching it often.  That's all.

Hay, if you know more than this, please drop me a note.  I would love to know more.

Love you,
Vimala

HEALING ONE HAIR AT A TIME

April 2016   YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  OVER 16,000 OF US HAVE FOUND THIS BLOG!


My dear seeker of a cure for your itchy sticky scalp.  I just don't know what it is either.  I have been searching and trying all kinds of things to help with this infection in the roots of my hair.  Its been four years now and counting.  I realized last night that I have come to terms with it and I don't want to fight it anymore I have surrendered that this is in the roots and I will have to live with it the rest of my life.  Which will not be that long, I am 68 years old now.

Right now what I am doing is allowing my shaved head to grow back hair! It bothers me, but I still want some hair for a change.  I now use Dr.Bonners Hemp Oil liquid soap with peppermint.  I just pour that stuff on my head and massage it in then rinse in a hot shower. After a rinse I pour a mixture of Chinese herbs that I put in boiling water and allowed it to cool over my head and massage that into my scalp, then towel dry.  That stops the itching for some hours. I wear hats to keep my hands from feeling of my scalp.

What I have noticed since I have been doing this treatment and allowing my hair to grow longer is simple.  I have naturally blond now turning silver hair color, when I look in the mirror at the color of the roots I see more light colored roots that black. The blacker roots stand out in the part through the lighter roots. In the past it was all black roots.  Maybe just maybe it is all getting better up on top, I highly recommend going to a Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist. They know so much.  One of the benefits of course would be a boost in the immune system which my doctor gives me when I go.  You can also ask for something to help with the nervousness that comes with the itching.

I am asking the Angels to help you.  Ask your guardian angels to help you and do what that tell you.

Here's to healing one hair root at a time.

Love YOU,
Vimala

HAVING HOPE with chronic folliculitis keeps me searching!

February 10, 2016

Just a quick note to let you know I am thinking about you.  I want you all to know that in the years I have been posting this blog over 15,500 of us have come to view these pages!!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE with this dis ease of the scalp and hair.

My next step is to wait for my tax return then head out to another Traditional Chinese doctor who specializes in neurology, that's the nervous system.  I have problems when I drive with that sticky stuff shooting up into my hairs! I have become quite sensitive to sounds, energy, electronics, driving, riding in a car, noise  and oh did I say that sweating was agony for my scalp.

So we will continue on with our quest for the cure. How do we find the cure? Its by looking at our bodies as a whole organism and going deeper, this stuff is coming from the inside of me up into my scalp, its not outside until it comes out from the roots of my hairs.  I am constantly with  my hands on my head unless I wear a hat!

Don't forget to wear a hat, give your arms and fingers a break. Light weight hats are a must for me.

LOVE YOU

SENSITIVITY to Technology

January 30,2016


Love and Light to you.  Glad you found my blog. It's an ongoing account of my troubles with scalp folliculitis.
Just recently I have been having an idea about what could cause my body to send up tiny little bubbles of fluid through the roots of my hair, especially when I drive or ride in the car.

I feel like I have a extremely sensitive sense of electromagnetic energy and my body reacts to it when I am in the car, or hearing loud voices or on the cell phone or sitting here at this PC typing.  Running electrical objects like a vacuum clearner, blender, juicer, etc. sending those bubbles up.

Frankly the only time there are no fluid bubbles......SLEEPING.  Complete resting state. Calm. Quiet. No electronics.

I told my husband this, I said, "maybe I have been abducted by ETs and I don't remember it, but "they" planted something in my head and it wants to come out because there is something inside my skull that keeps moving around and feels lumpy and stretches my scalp up so tight it almost hurts.

Sometimes I get a headache and my eyes feel sore too.  My body also shakes, trembles at times. I feel this stuff in my scalp is from my central nervous system or coming from misfiring of the neurons in my brain waves.????

I use to wear reading glasses, not I can see great up close it's my far sighted vision which is all blurred now....how did that happen?

Now I am  incredibly devoted to spirituality. I co create  and counsel others with the angels and the ascended masters. These are much faster frequencies than three dimensional reality, so all these symptoms could be coming from the much prayer and devotion that I do every day.

Basically I still have no real answers, but I did want to keep in touch with you. Maybe you have the answers....please comment.

Love you,
Vimala

Have a great winter

Just a quick note to let you know I am thinking about you and hope you have a great winter.
You know that my biopsy also said that I had no fungus no yeast no herpes!
I am so much more comfortable and scratch my head less since I have been using the Chinese Herbs!
I just started taking a new herb today.  I was prescribed by dermatology an antibiotic. Its cost, $465.00 for 60, 2 a day for  30 days.
My Chinese Dr. Liu says my liver really shouldn't have it and it was supposed to go on for 30 days, so Dr. Liu started me on herbals orally to kill the infection...that way my liver is safe and I didn't even spend $100. So we will see how this new round of herbals will effect the ole head. One thing that Dr.Liu told me today was" the scalp is different from  the skin".  She also gave me another topical that is mixed with vinager to use on my scalp.

Wishing you Success

Hope you have a great winter.  Maybe celebrate the Holy Days.  Peace on Earth, Good Will to All.

Staph Infection, Scalp Infection, Follicullitis

Thanksgiving 2015

Love and Light continue to stream through the days.  I wanted to get back to this blog to record the report from my biopsy.  I am very glad I do not have the demodex parasites!  I know I had them because the burrows were all over my scalp from them tracking around.  But this particular biopsy showed none. Yeah!
Looks like that herbal rinse from my Chinese Acupuncturist did the job.

My scalp is still infected however. The LAB called it chronic folliculitis. I had two friends in the follicles.
"There is a follicle that is surrounded by lymphocytes and histiocytes."  Now who are these guys and what are they doing there?

The quest to discover the origin of this case is still ongoing.  How did I get what I have on my head? Four years now and counting.

Don't forget to ask your Chinese Acupuncturist to give you something to stop the itch of it all.  These little
pills she gave me take the sting, crawl and itch off of my scalp.  Love YOU.

P.S.  Your acupuncturist is able to give you to boost your immune system.

There is so much about my scalp that is better after using the Chinese rinse on my hair and scalp, I am so thankful, so grateful, please find your Chinese doctor and their herbal medicine today.

Sticky Jelly like substance on my scalp and the roots of my hair"

Love and Light,  Almost 15000 people have hit this blog since my last posting!!  I AM working to find the answers and bring them to you ASAP.  Love YOU.

Thanks for reading my blog, especially when you are trying to find answers to the annoying itch you have on your head and what the ------is coming out of the roots of your hair.??????? Last week I had my third biopsy for these symptons! I have two stitches in my scalp and need to wait one more week to find out if I have demodex parasites in the roots of my hair.  I contacted the dermatologist that I went to four years ago for my first biopsy.  I did have Folliculitis! " But what causes it?" " Just scratching your head and why are you scratching your head?" " Nerves!" " You need to see a therapist.""

  Four years of shaving my head using everything I could get my hands on to ease my problem scalp. The sticky stuff just building up more and more so that my head felt as though I had paper mache on it.  I could no longer feel my true scalp.  It was under there somewhere.

Just last Mother's Day 2015 I found out about the demodex parasite.  I ordered the demodex shampoo, conditioner and leave in solution from Amazon.  It has really helped.  In addition I begin washing first with Dr. Bonners Hemp/ Lavender liquid soap.(health food section of your grocery store.) These products starting washing away the sticky.

Just since September I found an authentic acupuncturist from China and she knew what to mix together to knock down the parasites from my scalp and after shampooing each night I would rinse my hair with this solution.  First I had to make it.  Add this powder to boiling water, take off the burner and let cool to warm and pour over my scalp after shampooing.  AWE........this solution really did the job fast, pretty soon layer upon layer of the paper mache or hardened matted hair begin to separate and come clean again.

I can actually feel my true scalp again, but this hasn't rid my problem yet.   My head still itches and is covered with the sticky stuff in all roots, but I have let my hair grow out since Mothers Day, I no longer shave it all off, so I have found great relief.

This current biopsy is for knowledge to share with you and others.  We need to know.  Modern dermatology in our country USA doesn't recognize demodex parasites in the scalp, they have no idea, so last week I had to endure once again the attitude of being "that little ole lady who is a little crazy".  "OMG, here she is again!"  Of course, the doctor couldn't see the clear sticky fluid at the roots of my hair, she couldn't see that my hair was stuck down to my scalp underneath the hair that she could see.  She couldn't see that every single hair that was effected had darkness around the base of it.

I had often spoken in the past of the intelligence that was working on my head.  My head feet so different when the sun is up.  Usually in the mornings I  have a head ache, the evenings my hair and head feet different.  I  say, "whatever it is on my head is very smart, it protects itself with the sticky stuff, so nothing can penetrate the roots of my hairs.  Then the criss- crossing of my hair to make it matte down, give protection.  All the burrows up and down through the scalp are be protected by the matting.  Every other row of my hair in a section will vanish except a short stubble at the root, while the row of hair in between is stuck down in the middle. Those little ballons of fluid come right up out of the hair root POP and spread the sticky protective substance.

My family always tell me "stop touching your head, it would be better if you stop"!!!  When this intelligence is working an area, my fingers want to be there to separate the hairs that are sticking together.   This intelligence works in spirals around and around and around and also in straight lines, that's how the matting happens.  Very smart wouldn't you say.

So, I AM thinking it is demodex parasites and I have been praying and praying that we will be able to give DERMATOLOGY great NEWS! So many of us have this condition.

Until next time.....which will be when my biopsy results return. I have prayed that my biospy was handled in the correct way as to be viewed under the microscope.   GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE AND PROTECTED.

Scalp infection: DEMODEX shampoo,lotion works!

Hi! The last post I was just beginning treatment with the Demodex shampoo, conditioner and leave in your hair lotion! Get it! It has definitely lowered the population of mites on my head! The lotion after shampooing is fabulous! PEACE.
I researched and found that those microscopic parasites dive deep into the roots of our hairs as the sun rises and come back up again to Reproduce as the sun sets and do so all night when we sleep. Feel familiar? I wash my hair around 10pm or later. If they are out screwing around then I have washed some out! I'm not sure washing during the day matters. The sulfur and tee tree oils in the shampoo are strong, so use the conditioner then let your hair dry some. Put that cooling lotion on your head before bed and leave it in all night, all day, maybe add more during the day.
I became very unattached to my long beautiful hair five years ago when this all started, shaved it completely, now I keep it at a 3 on my razor. Buzz my hair off every full moon or new moon. It saves especially on the lotion. Less hair, less lotion needed.
Just wanted to update you! I have much less build up of the sticky stuff. I don't have any idea that this is a cure, but it's enough of a help to order it again for July 2015. I started using it in May2015.
My next adventure will be to my acupuncturist for herbs to control or rid my scalp of this colonization of Demodex mites, the human kind. My acupuncturist helped my grandson be rid of parasites, she said in the fall is a good time to do it. I will use the products until I get to see her in the fall2015!
I would so LOVE to have this gone and to be able to share the INFO with you so you do not have to suffer any more!

Update on the DEMODEX TREATMENT

blessings for you! After using one full bottle of the DEMODEX shampoo, conditioner, and scalp lotion I must admit, no itching!  It seems to have made a difference, my scalp is better, less outbreak areas too!  It is written that the DEMODEX mite comes out at night to reproduce, then travels back into the roots of the hair during the day, so because of this I waited until night to wash my hair! I put the lotion on before bed, allowing it to dry before sleep, awe.......it feels so good.

Folliculitis and Demodex Human Mite Parasites

Hi! It's been a while since I last posted any thing good! I had just surrendered this stuff on my head to having to live with it and I would always have to keep my hair shaved on my head, so Live with IT!

However I recently re opened my investigation and found new info! I found an article published in Brazil's Journal For Infectious Diseases. Simply stated, Demodex mites! These little parasites are the ones that live on human bodies, only seen under a high powered microscope. For whatever reason some of us loose our antibodies to fight them and they end up causing us problems. The article puts the condition of my scalp and human Demodex mite parasites together, at least for me anyway. So I googled around and found some shampoo for the condition. I won't go back to a Doctor to have another biospy it's about the money so I ordered the shampoo on the cheap. After almost a bottle I have noticed a remarkable difference. Today my new order for a second bottle of shampoo, conditioner and night time lotion came, an investment of $75US.

Find out for yourself, do some more research on Demodex mites on humans, see what you think.

I start tonight, the day after Mothers Day, May11,2015 with all three products. I will surely post my positive results, if you don't see another post for a long time chances are it didn't work and I accept my fate. Love YOU!

Sticky Substance in every hair root

Thank you for clicking in.  A special thanks to those who took the time to answer those few questions.
The one common thread that we all have so far:  we had some kind of traumatic event happen before our heads became involved with this condition.

 Still applying the Hydrogen Peroxide to my scalp sitting in the sunshine, that's light therapy.  The swelling in my skull has diminished considerably and my skull bones seem back together in the right place. I feel like the HP and sunlight are working, like reducing the fluid like substance under my scalp which I feel is somehow fighting the infection in the hair roots, less substance, much less.

 It has been three years now since this cropped up on my scalp.  I will not loose hope or the faith that it will leave as surely as it came and I will be normal once again.

Blessings to you and I continue to pray for better answers and a cure that works fast.  Love and Light.

Don't feel alone, so far I have had almost 6000 hits on this Blog.  So that many of us are looking for more answers.  Don't give up and Don't give in and when you get the cure come back here and tell all of us.

Love and Light,
Vimala

Hi, just started using Hydrogen Peroxide!  You know I keep my hair very short now, so applying cotton balls soaked in HP to my scalp feels great and it's bleached my hair golden blond! It makes me feel better to see myself and as always it feels like the HP is good for my scalp condition which I do not consider as FOLLICULITIS of the scalp.  I'm not sure what is happening to my scalp, no doctor knows what it is, nor do I.  Day 3 using HP, I'll let you know what this does in time.  Love U

Folliculitis of the human scalp/crusty glue like substance in every hair hole

PLEASE BECOME A member of this blog!  What I am trying to do is gather information that we may all have in common other that this glue like stuff coming of my hair holes.  I would like to be able to enjoy my hair growing out once again.  I shave it because the glue like stuff bothers me less when I have no hair. SO if you have found me because you are looking for answers then maybe we can find them together.  I have had so many Doctors tell me I am crazy because theycan't see what I am telling them is there.  IF YOU ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, PLEASE RESPOND WITH COMMENTS, ALSO ANY OTHER CHRONIC CONDITIONS THAT YOU MAY BE HAVING WHILE THIS OOZING IS ON YOUR HEAD?  READ THROUGH MY POST FOR OTHER INFORMATION.  LETS SEE IF WE CAN BECOME A COLLECTIVE AND FIND OUT WHAT THIS STUFF IS SO WE CAN TELL THE DOCTORS. THANKS AND BE BLESSED.

Folliculitus? of the Scalp, Glue like substance comes from each hair hole.

July 4, 2013 Thursday
America! Happy Independence Day!!!!

I've thought of something else I need to ask.  This last WEEK I again was suffering with a kidney problem.
I thought I had another kidney stone (calcium stones) I have been producing them each summer since this stuff popped out on my head.  Have you had kidney stones? bladder infections? urinary tract  infections??
POST ANY THING THAT IS RE OCCURRING WITH THIS glue like stuff oozing out of each hair hole.
Thanks.  Have a great day.

Scalp crusty oozing glue like substance

June 25, 2013

I'm amazed at how many people are searching for answers to this condition.  I am still searching.  Yesterday I shaved all my hair off my head again.  Trying to let it grow out because of my family, but I just can't.  The longer it gets the worse the glue seems to get.  Every little hair hole secrets a sticky substance that will try to extend the whole length of the hair.  You don't need gel with this stuff....it's like putting gel on the roots of my hair, making my hairs stand straight up.

I want to thank those kind people who have left some remedies as comments.  However we, me and my readers are searching for a true CURE.  We ask : POST A CURE THAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR A LEAST SIX MONTHS.

What I wanted to say today is that I also have the bones of my head shifting slightly or there are knots under my scalp moving and it seems to be under the most affected places.  Also I noticed after shaving my head how much better I felt!  Upon looking closer to my scalp with a magnifying mirror I notice that two hairs are growing out of the same hair holes in places. The hairs that are affected are black and stiff.

Also I wonder so much why I am so tried all the time.  All I really would like to do any day is get in my bed and sleep, but I don't, I keep going.  Some people would say I was depressed if I said this, but I'm not.  I take NO MEDICATIONS except Advil for headaches that come from having this.  But tired all the time.  It's a rare day when I have so much energy I am singing. I will be 65 in October.  I have to stay busy, I have an 18 year old, a 10year old and an 8 year old, a husband and a 45 year old son all counting on me to FEED them every day.

Monday, June 24, 2013

Love and Light to all 3900 of you who have hit my blog!  It's now June 24, 2013 a Monday and I still have this crusty stuff on my scalp coming up through the hair holes.  I can feel the patches of "it" moving under my scalp.  Right now "it" is concentrated on the very top of my head from crown to forehead and my head is sore.  I have waked up all week with a very deep headache.  Just wanted to say THANK YOU for leaving me a message.  PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE prescriptions for this condition unless YOU HAVE THIS "STUFF", YOU USED THE REMEDY AND IT IS WORKING NOW FOR SIX MONTHS! THANKYOU.  We all want to know how to heal this, but we don't want someone to tell us unless that someone has the stuff and has been healed.  All of us who have this are in a constant state of wanting it to go away, we have tried a 100 things that everyone has said to try what we are looking for and why I started this blog was to find the CURE.  We do not even know WHAT THIS STUFF IS!!!!!  When you know what it is and have experienced the cure then let us all know, post it here!!!  We will all feel so grateful.

WHAT IS THE COMMON THREAD THAT RUNS THROUGH ALL OF US THAT HAVE THIS CRUSTY SCALP?

1.  Have we been lifted up recently within the last four years to an experiment with ETs? We can't remember.
2.  Do we all smoke?
3.  Do we all pick at our scalps constantly? Nervously?
4. Have we been diagnoised with Shingles before this outbreak began?
5. Did we have some extremely stressful times before this begin?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave your comment if any of the above questions apply to you.  It is so strange that more and more of us have this but no DR. can see it or wants to see it or can help us.

It's already MARCH 11, 2013


....and I can hardly wait for warmer weather so I can shave my hair off my scalp again!  This scalp stuff is still up there nagging me.  I have yet to find a cure so it is gone, it moves around my scalp, but I will say this it is not as bad as it was when it first began.  Thank you God.  It has dried up considerably.  At first I felt like my brain was floating inside my skull. There was soooo much fluid under my scalp, but now, it has dried up considerably, not much fluid NOW.

Hey, do you smoke tobacco, like those already made cigerettes like Malboro etc....? The ones that have the flame retardent in the paper that the  tabacco is rolled into?  Well, when my head first started with this stuff I was smoking American Spirit Organic cigerettes, a pack a week....well, then I found out that even these cigerettes were rolled in that flame retardent paper.....I STOPPED SMOKING, my scalp is much better, not as much fluid, not as much itching.

Every day i look forward to washing my hair in Lavender Shampoo which gives it a dryness that feels almost normal, for a while.  You can get some of this shampoo at www.essencialdreams.com
but I still have this stuff and my fingers want to touch it and scratch it and separate all the stuck together hairs, and my family is finally getting use to my having my hand on my head when my hands are not busy doing something else.  Finally they have stopped telling me to NOT TOUCH my head.  What do they know, right?

The best I have felt with this stuff on my head was on the Carribbean cruise my sister gave me in November 2012.  We went swimming in salt water and stayed some time in the sunshine every day. I didn't smoke I ate well and I went to accupuncture .

Accupuncture speaks to the organ systems for the skin:  Kidneys, Lungs, the lungs most especially. My Accupuncturist treated me for damp heat.  He said, the lungs were in charge of the skin.  Hence, no smoking.  Try these things, and remember PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you find a cure let me know.  Thanks a million!!!!

Timeless

Peace be  yours.  Folliculitis?????? Is that what is on my scalp?????? Today is the 21st day  of October 2012 and my scalp is still producing the glue like substance that sticks hairs together and stiffens .....what hair?  I have continued to shave my head.  I continue( for nine months) to use the QUICK SHOT cortizon 1% spray, it cools and coats and eases the feeling on my scalp.  I went to another Dr. of Dermatology.....he said, "don't see a thing on your head, can't treat what I can't see." Thankfully he didn't charge me for that visit.

 I've decided that I need a lifestyle change of some kind.  I'm to go on a cruise with my elder sister who recently lost her husband.  I have changed my diet now too.  I eat beef once a week, fish once a week and the other days only veggies.  Something has to give.

 I will be going to an authentic chinese herbalist and another round of acupuncture.  I haven't had acupuncture since the very beginning(almost 3 years ago) because of the deep pain I felt when the needle went into my scalp...I have always loved acupuncture and it never hurt me until that one scalp needle.

Shaving all the hair off is the best thing for me.  It seems to be so much worse when my hair is longer, I'm talking a half inch of hair! Can't take it! It's getting cold here in the South USA so hats are particularly comfortable for now.

I'll write again in the future, hopefully I'll be writing about my HEALING! An answer to my prayers and YOURS. {Sunday October 21st 2012}

108 Days

June 9, 2012

Day 108 of shaving my head once a week and using the cortizone 1% cream.  What does this tell you????? 108 days into this new diagnosis.....I'm a little better. My scalp looks a little better on the top of my head, but the stuff is spreading down the sides and the back of my scalp. I also doubt that the whole scalp is actinic keratosis. I have one more doctor to see. What I have starting using which eases the sting and crusty hair is pure coconut oil.  I like using this all over my scalp once or twice a day.  Hopefully you will find what works for you. I'm still seeking.  I know it's related to my activity level that much is for sure.  It takes about twenty minutes each morning for my sleeping scalp to begin sprouting up its crusty "stuff".  When I'm very active, it sprouts up.  When I get anxious, it sprouts up.  Every thing I have done so far has helped me get through the day hoping for a cure.  A cure would be no more sprouting of crusty sticky stuff, no more dirty roots of my hair, no more darkened dirty looking scalp, no more shaving my hair.  HEALED.  I'll be so happy, so grateful to finally be able to say that.
Using all my little tips will help you each day, you will see a change.  Light and Love to you.
