I am not exaggerating when I say that in the 21 years we have been together... I have never seen his scalp so healthy looking. NG also has a tea tree conditioner. I also use the tea tree on my dogs.. I have 2 Boston Terriers and one Pitbull and it makes their coats shine.. Cher~

HeyI have that. It's not ordinary dandruff, but a type of psoriasis. They call it sebhorrea. I've had it for about 20 years. I just put up with it for a long time, but that's no answer, let me tell you!I'm currently trying to use a KMS shampoo recommended on this message board by someone name Mickhael (or similar). So far, 3 shampoos, no difference. KMS Puritives.I got a prescription once. It worked, but it was $17 for 2 oz bottles of the stuff!Looks like I'm trying Cher's solution, Nature's Gate Tea Tree Oil shampoo next ... or maybe just dabs of tea tree oil in my present shampoo and dabs on the sore bumps.Hey, don't worry too much, those bumps get pretty sore if you keep itching them, but I've never gotten scalp cancer or anything from overdoing it.My bumps flare up with stress and hang out in different areas of my scalp. Keep from spreading it by scrubbing those fingernails you're scratching with when you just haven't been able to help yourself. And don't let people use your comb. Don't have to say why, just that you don't share.Do you want to keep in touch about this? We could race to see who gets rid of it quicker.RunningWild

Cher~Along similar lines... my scalp gets occasionally itchy (usually at the change of the seasons) and I've found that putting straight tea tree oil on the itchy bits really helps a LOT. I usually apply it with a Q-tip to avoid getting my hair all greasy.But if it's really bad you should see a dermatologist first to make sure it's not something serious or maybe something that can be easily treated by perscription.-jennifer j

My husband has always suffered from dandruff. I used to buy all kinds of stuff on the market and never really came across anything that worked for him til I came across Nature's Gate Tea Tree shampoo. It has totally cleared his scalp up and it looks normal. He used to use NG's original herbal until I brought home the tea tree. If you have sores tho, I would see a doctor and go from there.. Cher~
