Hi all,
I’m a PFS sufferer for 3+ years.
I had dandruff before Fin, but Head&Shoulders solved it all for me, and even when I had it, it wasn’t as severe as it is after I got PFS.
Post-PFS, there’s just no shampoo that can control dandruff.
It started getting annoying about 6 months into PFS. I had initially thought it was due to my eating habits so I changed my diet completely and much more balanced. But it still wasn’t a solution.
About a year after, I started noticing rash, around my face and especially along the hairline. I also noticed my scalp was getting so itchy…;; the rash seemed to accelerate my hair to fall faster than than it should, and it also made my left eyebrows fall off a bit.
Second year into PFS, the dandruff got so bad that I couldn’t wear anything dark (or if I had to, check my shirt every f*cking 5 minutes) because it would make the dandruff too visible on my shoulder and neck area.
I don’t know how many dermatologists I went to see and how many “pharma” shampoos I spent my money on, but none of them ever solved the problem, and some of them even made it worse than any generic shampoo in supermarkets you can find (Ofc I know this dandruff shampoo’s aren’t supposed to be used everyday and I followed the usage guideline very strictly.)
Getting almost into 3 years, I got recommended by a friend to use a shampoo that was supposed to be so soft that could even be used for children. And it really did improve my scalp condition drastically after about 2 weeks of usage. So I thought I was done dealing with dandruff for good for 4 months. The downside of this shampoo was that despite it being so soft, it made my hair condition so bad, I have no clue why this is so.
But about 3 wks ago from today, dandruff came back, and this new shampoo isn’t fixing it anymore.
At this point, I really don’t know what to do and I’m afraid to go see another derma to make it any worse.
PFS changed my skin, affecting especially my face and scalp area. I get extremely stressed out each time I see dandruff scattered and piled up on my shirt and pillow.
Any of you had dandruff bc of Pfs and got it solved?
Thanks for your time reading
