Itchy scalp postpartum (uk)

My head has been soooo itchy after giving birth and my postpartum hair loss started last week I’m now suffering from severe dandruff too :( I used to use the ginger shampoo & conditioner from the body shop and changed shampoos to faith in nature from holland and Barrett and started to oil my hair again before washing it but nothings changed. I itch till my scalp bleeds. Does anyone have any recommendations on shampoos/conditioners? Thanks in advance

Tea tree oil in your conditioner Google the amount... Or use the tea tree oil scalp spray google if you can use both.

Itching until your scalp bleeds suggests it may be Seborrheic dermatitis or another condition as that goes beyond normal itchy scalp. Go to your GP and ask for blood tests to check your hormone levels and other things such as thyroid etc. Then ask for a referral to a dermatologist who can take scalp scrapings and check that there isn’t a fungal issue or what the root cause is.

I had a really flaky and itchy scalp and used what I was using on the baby for cradle cap 😂 It definitely helped. I also switched shampoo and started using Wella Scalp Balance Shampoo - sensitive scalp. https://www.boots.com/loyon-cradle-cap-treatment-10197635?srsltid=AfmBOoout157UjqIYaKJdPfonSlwAmJqjiMH4RbU5WGij6cHfy21pxln

Thank you ladies 💕
