nizarol, we use it it works amazing.
you lather it up on the scalp and massage in for 3 minutes then rinse off. (make sure not to get anywhere else, unless it's been affected)

we do this twice a week.

daily, we use a cream called cetraben emollient cream on his scalp and face. it's working great for us.

hope that helps.

get a soft baby brush and brush his/her daily.. this will stimulate the blood suply and stop the build up of scales...

My GP told me to use olive oil on my DD's scalp, leave it on for an hour or so, then gently scrape it off with your nails. It worked really well for us.

almond oil is fab. 100% naural and works well. Just rub it on before bed and leave it on, no need to wash it off. Please don't pick it, nothing good comes from picing it.
