I don’t have insurance atm so can’t do much so that’s why I’m on here asking. It’s been doing this for years but this is the worst.

Yeah totally understandable and if anything you are just helping me come up with possibilities to later talk to someone about. Though I never exactly knew the importance of specific soap or keeping it that dry. Sadly I wasn’t ever taught… though I will begin working on that and see if that makes any change. Though I can understand if you do not know this but could anything like Chron’s or IBS cause something like this?

Though it’s funny you mention that anti fungal stuff. I’m pretty sure I got the body shampoo actually. Use it on my chest/neck.

Again, not a doc, but I doubt any internal gastrointestinal issue is going to manifest this way.

Washing it with an antifungal shampoo may help too, but it would have to be in addition to other treatments, because the OTC shampoos are pretty weak. You can get a stronger shampoo, but again it's a prescription. When you see a doc at some point, bring a list of what you need to talk about, bc you can get the Rx for a shampoo and a cream with refills at the same time, in addition to any other minor things you need, e.g. prescription strength antiperspirant
