Questions about vinegar

[hauermm]

I have mild/moderate p on my scalp for 7 years and have tried various treatments without much success. I have read several posts regarding using apple cider vinegar. I have been using it as a rinse for a week. I have notice a slight decrease in the "dandruff" on my shoulders but the itching remains. My questions to those who use it are: how long before you saw any real results? how do use it, full strength or diluted?

Thanks,
Michele

I tried it and other than making me smell like a salad, nothing!

Hi,
Here's the "recipe" that has worked the best for me. First massage scalp with Campho-phenique to loosen scales. Peanut oil works too. Next, shampoo as usual and then apply the rinse using 1/4 c apple cider vinegar mixed with 3/4 c water. Leave on hair for few minutes then rinse. The following day use 1/4 c Listerine with 3/4 c water as your rinse. Listerine helps the itching. Better control is obtained by alternating these two.
After your hair is dry, massage a small amount of creamy white vaseline into the scalp. Your head will feel good and your hair will feel soft.

Same here although it did seems to soothe the pain and itching while I was soaking.

Lorna- that is an interesting 'recipe'....I can imagine what you had to go through to come up with that one.. ;-)
I'm going to file this in good things for the future.....my Daughter Emily is about 98% clear right now but she is a summer flarer so I may need it soon...Thanks for sharing
