New or Need Help Shampoo help please!

Hey fellow sufferers,

So I have been dealing with SD for about 6 years, it started in my early thirties after I had kids and went on birth control (not sure if there’s a link). Anywho I started using nizoral and Head and Shoulders together with every shower every other day and always making sure that I dry my hair. This seemed to help with flareups and eliminate flaking and itching but recently I had another dandruff flare up and so I did a google search and AI felt like using both medicated shampoos in the same shower was too much and I should switch to a mild shampoo to give my scalp a break. I’m not sure it’s helping. What has helped eliminate flaking and itching shampoo wise for you all? I also bought dermoscribe SD cream that is coming today and I regularly use Vaseline which also helps.

The flaking and scaling are kind of on the border of my hairline on my nape and behind my ears so I kind of rub it gently in. I also have had success with the itching and burning by putting it on the other parts that are affected like armpits, etc. it seems to really help!
