Hello, that sounds so uncomfortable, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. What you’re describing sounds like seborrheic dermatitis: an oily, inflamed scalp condition. The flakes clinging even after washing, and spreading to your ears (causing redness when removed), are classic signs.

# Please do these : – Use a medicated shampoo (look for ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or coal tar-- lather gently, leave on 5 mins, then rinse). – Don’t pick the ear crusts, this worsens irritation. Use a damp cloth only on the outer ear. – See a doctor if it persists,we may add a mild topical steroid or antifungal cream.

This is treatable, you’ll find relief!

It seems you’re dealing with a case of seborrheic dermatitis, which causes an oily or sticky dandruff that can lead to irritation and inflammation, as you’re experiencing. This condition often affects the scalp, but it can extend to areas such as around the ears. It’s crucial to address both the symptoms and underlying inflammation to manage this effectively. First, try an over-the-counter medicated dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid. Use it as directed on the label, usually a few times per week, and let the shampoo sit on your scalp for about five minutes before rinsing. Be careful to rinse thoroughly, as leftover product can contribute to irritation. Additionally, maintain gentle hair care practices; avoid scratching or excessive rubbing, as this can exacerbate inflammation and redness. Dropping any excessive use of hair styling products that may irritate your skin is also advisable. Ensure to keep your ears clean without using sharp or abrasive tools – a gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is best. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite home treatment, it would be prudent to consult with a dermatologist. They may prescribe a stronger medicated shampoo or topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. Be alert to any red flag symptoms like severe redness, swelling, or pain, which may require immediate medical attention to prevent secondary infections. Incorporating these measures into your routine can help manage dandruff while promoting a healthier scalp environment.
