I think it’s because we cannot scratch our heads!

Or are we just having typical ailments that go along with "aging?" After all, Selsun Blue has been around a while--they must be making money. I can't think of many reasons our quadriplegia would contribute to scalp itch, except: 1. we wear hats more? 2. we lay in bed more and move less? 3. we shower or wash our hair less? Further investigation needs to be conducted. :) Don. _____ From: alcibiates2 <[email protected]> To: greg <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 3, 2014 5:59 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: [QUAD-L] scalp itch Season blue works for me.

Sometimes it's jus sun burns, I'm in the sun a lot. But other times it's dry skin. I've tried all those shampoos, but none even helped a bit. I went to my doc about it. He said to lightly scrape your scalp with a plastic comb, then run Crisco Oil on my scalp over night. Then wash real good and scrape with comb again. \ It's not perfect, but it did help a lot. I have to lay a towel over my lap because so much dry skin falls off while I'm scraping my scalp. It's like it's snowing. I also have to wash my hair at least twice a week or it gets bad. I try and go once a week when it's cold out, but it starts itching again. Greg > My head is itching like crazy. Im going to try the selsun blue I > guess.
