Stinky Hair

try pine tar shampoo, that stuff is awesome, Just be aware some dont like the scent (I love it), but it washes off. Its highly anti microbial. A liquid chlorophyll rinse might help too.

No flaking, film, grease, sores, etc.

I'm sure I'd have issues either MCS or allergy with pine tar, but the chlorophyll may work.

I saw your chlorophyll recommendation on my other post and have been googling chlorophyll and reading reviews.

One reviewer specifically mentioned it helped scalp odor, while others mentioned other odors - armpits, bowels, gas.

I'll order some today. Thanks!!

Also, I have some JR Liggett's bar shampoo - fragrance free, of course. I'll see if it has any effect. It's a natural soap, though, so probably not pH neutral. I worry about those increasing susceptibility to infections like staph.

I got bacterial vaginosis twice some years back. Bith times it was after using natural, lye based soaps in the shower for a couple of months. Some time later, I came across an online review that made me aware that those soaps are not all pH neutral, which can upset bacterial balance.

Also, I googled stinky hair yesterday after posting this. There's a lot more out there now than there was a few years ago. Even has a name - Smelly Hair Syndrome. Info points to bacteria, fungus, or yeast either on the scalp or systemic. In my case, I suspect systemic.

I was thinking about this. For lack of a better description, yeah "stinky hair" about describes it--not the normal sebum or oily greasy feeling, like from not showering a day or two, that's normal, but more like my brain is infected and it's coming through and seeping out into my scalp, smells like white blood cells aka. infected or "pus" faintly? I also have a crusty oozing sore that is uncannily in the same area as a childhood head trauma...resulting in an odd patch of bald spot that I was told by a dermatologist after a biopsy was "Prurigo Nodule" or a "pickers nodule..." but anyway I think it's systemic as in highly correlated with TBI's and cos and friends. I mean how many different manifestations of systemic infection does there have to be? It's MSIDS just like Horowitz says, how many nails do you need pulling?
