Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hi Ducan: Not to sound totally ignorant, but why not use the Cetaphil for her hair? I have always used soap for shampoo, but then, being male helps. As you know, we do not really care about these things much :-) . Regards, Jim >My wife had an itchy rash that turned out to be a reaction to soap and was alleviated by switching to Cetaphil, which is a soap-free cleanser. She still reacts to her shampoo, which contains soap. Anyone have input on soap-free shampoo? all gopod, Duncan< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Good point; I asked and she hadn't thought of using Cetaphil in her hair and said she'd try it. Meanwhile we just got back from the store with some lauryl/laureth sulfate-free shampoo and natural conditioner. Diagnosis is key; I was thinking toxin load but the doc was thinking toxin exposure because she has the same sensitivity. all good, Duncan > > Hi Ducan: > > Not to sound totally ignorant, but why not use the Cetaphil for her hair? > > I have always used soap for shampoo, but then, being male helps.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Duncan, There is a shampoo alternative made by a company in CA called CAL BEN. It is made from coconut oil and vegetable protiens. I have had good luck using it as it does not flare up the eczema on my hands. fyi, Kelli > > > > Just a word for people with itching, but usually after bathing. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I had Seborrheic dermatitis ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001959/ ) on my scalp for...uhm...almost 30 years, almost continuously. Tar and other spendy 'treatment' shampoos (ex: T-gel, Nizoral) only limited help. Then I JUST HAPPENED to buy some ORGANIC shampoo at ye olde Walgreens...cause it was on sale...and boof! Almost all gone in a week or two. Now I only buy Fancy-Pants Prissy [*smiles*] Organic Shampoos from Whole Foods Market...and only every once in a great while, a hickey manifests itself. I guess there was SOMETHING in commercial shampoo to which I was simply ALLERGIC allll those yearrrrs of Itchy Scalp and Red Spots, hmm. ~ ruby ~ > > > > Just a word for people with itching, but usually after bathing. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Trader Joe's sells sulfate free shampoo - realize none are in Canada but maybe helpful to someone else. Apple cider vinegar rinse may help problematic scalp issues. > > > > Hi Ducan: > > > > Not to sound totally ignorant, but why not use the Cetaphil for her hair? > > > > I have always used soap for shampoo, but then, being male helps.
