Dht and dry scalp?

[guardianactual]

My scalp has never been so dry and itchy as it has been on this cycle.. it is red sore itcy as hell. Is it the high dht in my cycle or something else??

How's your diet? Have you ever had any type of atopic dermatitis before?

typically low sebum levels from decreasedp dht can lead to scaly (flaky) skin

I am having a similar issue. My scalp is itchy, not horrible but it seems scraped when I itch it. No flakes or otherwise. Just weird

Diets good, little low hydration here and there on really hot days at work. But thats about it. Using lotion and heads n shoulders and its getting better but still notable ��

Try coconut oil! I usually get this during fall when it starts to get colder.

Did you you figure out what caused it? My 1st guess is dehydration but you said that wasn't it so curious?
