I have got some patches of what I assume is eczema on my scalp. It doesn't itch and doesn't produce visible skin flakes. Can anyone recommend an effective shampoo that doesn't smell medicated?

The Body Shop ginger shampoo is the best I've used.

I use Healpsorin shampoo. It's for scalp conditions, including eczema.

Goldwell dualsenses scalp therapy foaming shampoo. I use it on my daughter & it's amazing. No scent & super gentle.

Head & Shoulders for very very itchy scalps was good. Then I gave up wheat, and within two weeks, could use anything I like.

Ketoconazole shampoo - Brand name Nizoral - Its what the GPs prescribe. Its really good for itchy scalp

This. It'll feel better after first use.

MooGoo. Totally changed my life. Shampoo run off was making my whole body break out. Perfect skin since I started using this. And hair in great condition.

My partner has eczema, on his scalp and body.
We have every shampoo known to man .
Prescription and non prescription.
I don't have excema but I do have itchy scalp.
Having worked my way through his stuff without success ,I have had most relief using a scalp scrub
I use this
