Scalp

So I reacted to a shampoo couple months ago and a couple days later my scalp was suffering from an intense itch. To this day it still itches. 2 weeks ago I was given betamethasone. It has gotten a bit better and the gp said to use it for 4 more weeks. Has this happened to anyone else and has it ever gone away for them?

How long did it take your scalp to heal?

Long story short i had a bad bad reaction to a hair dye, so shave my head bald, used E45 for 6 weeks.
It sorted it and it helped with the itch,after that most shampoos i react to, so now its cheap baby shampoo and it works wonders no reactions at all.
