INJURY ON HEAD THAT ISN'T HEALING
Hi, I'm 24 years old and I don't quite uderstand if my question has already been answered. I'm sure what I have is what everyone has mentioned. For almost three years I lived in Minnesota and recently moved back to my home town in Arizona. End of March begining of April of 2007, before i moved home. I was working in a restaurant and went back to help get caught up on the dishes. Well, I hit my head on the rack above a couple times. The spot where I bumped my head started to build up a scab. I did pick off the scab. Two weeks later I then moved to Arizona and now I still keep getting a reacurring scab and still wanting to pick it off. At one point it was very red and sore and smelled. I quit using hairspray for a while, but couldn't deal with my hair not staying in it's place. Started using gel instead. Still having the sore scab over. I try to keep my hair done as much as possible, but when I'm at work, I need to have it up. I also quit using a shampoo for color treated or permed hair and now using a head and shoulders for dermatitis. Doesn't seem to be helping. I have used peroxide and all that does is dry out the scab and make it very itchy. Then i have put a triple anti-biotic ointment and that just stays in my hair and doesn't wash out easy. Also, this head and shoulders shampoo doesn't smell very nice and I would like to go back to using Ganier Fruitise. I have never had dandruff or dermatitis before in my life. I am at wits end. Please can you help me. Thank-you Jennifer
Some people who have skin peeling, drying and scabs being formed was due to a skin condition that cannot properly heal itself from certain lack of supplements.
One thing that has helped me was to use natural vitamin E plus, some aloe vera oil and some vitamin A applied thinly to the area, and also take it internally some daily vitamin A and vitamin E dose. I would also take some fish oil, cod liver oil, omega 3 and especially evening primrose oil, which can be taken about twice or three times a week, where these supplements are often between 1000-3000 mg. I might also take some vitamin C sodium ascorbate 500-1000 mg a day for only 5 days out of a week.
Usually it is the vitamin E and some aloe vera oil mixed togher with some vitamin E that seems to helped. However, this should be applied ONLY once every three days, and not every day, otherwise it may cause a skin breakout, if they are applied too much.
Arizona has a lot of sun, the last time I visited and the body seems to need more vitamin E, aloe vera and C than usual, otherwise the skin just keeps drying or scabs somtime form and this is why an antioxidant is needed so the skin cells don't get killed easily, if the body has sufficient antioxidant, while aloe helps some skin regeneration.
