Hair question

Every winter, I get dry scalp.  I'm used to it.  Normally, it's manageable.  But for some reason, this year, it's not. 

I've switched shampoos twice, I'm using Tea Tree shampoo.  I'm doing what the hair stylist said to do...and it's getting worse.  It used to be in a very isolated, small spot above my left temple.  Now, it's the entire left side of my head.  Seriously...you could draw a line down the center of my head and see that it's only on the left side.  I have no clue what else to do. 

Do any of you guys have to deal with the same thing?  Any ideas of what I can do?

My daughter Lisa had a similar problem, she said it was ok straight after she washed it but it became very dry almost scaly very soon after. She went to the doctor as they thought it might be psoriasis but thankfully it seems to have improved - the doctor gave her some special cream to put on the dry spot before washing and it seems to have worked.

Is it maybe psoriasis? My brother has the same thing with his scalp, where it's spreading and it appears as dry scalp sometimes, and he had to put special stuff for that in his hair, but it worked like a charm.

Sorry to hear that, I have eczema and it's acting up this year, not the same but I hope you find something that works! Maybe try talking to a doctor?

Hmm, dry scalp... Is there any kind of moisturizing shampoo you could use? There are some that say "moisturizing" on the package. I use John Frieda "Brilliant Brunette", and they make a type that's "daily moisturizing" or something to that effect.

Are you under a lot of stress? Sometimes, your body reacts to things like stress or abrupt changes in diet or being ill in weird ways. Trust me, I speak from experience here. :)
