UK shampoos for Seb Derm post transplant.

[ScottishGuy21]

Since my transplant I’ve had a few flare ups / sheds which after originally thinking it was covid related have since been diagnosed with Seb Derm. Struggling to find a shampoo that I can use daily.
 

What shampoo is anyone in the UK using? I know H&S used to do a clinical strength one that’s been discontinued. I need something I can use in between my Nizoral use.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dr Ball at the Maitland clinic suggested a shampoo to me for this called Juniper Scalp Therapy by Tony Maleedy. It's not cheap, but I found it to be quite effective. Also recommended to get some Betacap solution (a topical steroidal ointment) to use sparingly if things are flaring up a bit more than usual.

The advantage of the Juniper shampoo is that it's actually quite a nice shampoo that lathers up very nicely. I like the scent personally (the missus, not so much!). Worth a go if you're struggling.

Thanks for the help much appreciated, just ordered a bottle now. I don’t mind paying the extra if prolongs the periods in between flare ups! My derm has prescribed me elecon lotion to use sparingly, but stressed only during a serious flare up.

Are you able to use anything to style your hair? I’ve gone without for a while now, largely out worry with most things seem to included trigger inducing contents.

With styling products, I too find some will start to cause a bit of irritation the longer they're in. Products that seems to cause no issues are things like hair creams/leave-in conditioners (Jamaican caster oil Shea Moisturiser for eg). But I rarely put any product in to be honest.

Hi, I‘m not able to write a DM so I will ask here. I‘ve ordered the shampoo and it should arrive soon. Do you think I should only use the Juniper Shampoo from that on, or should I continue using 2x Ketoconazol/Nizoral per week and in addition the other days the Juniper Shampoo, what do you think? How did you used it? I‘ve also ordered the conditioner in addition and really looking forward how it will turn out.

Honestly I don’t know the answer, but I see no reason to not use both. 
 

I’ve been mixing it up between Nizoral & Juniper recently myself and seems to be ok.

I have been using this stuff since before my transplant. I also used it 10 days after my transplant. They sell a number of products inc conditioner too.

Thanks I’ll give this a go.

I did try the Juniper Shampoo but it irritated my scalp, there’s a few ingredients in there that are triggers for me unfortunately.

I'd never heard of Juniper until i saw it on this forum. I saw the 360 stuff when the owner was doing a tiktok live about 2 years ago (Sophie).

I bought a bundle pack ages ago. Shampoo, conditioner, capsules and the spray. I have re-ordered the shampoo and capsules since. 

When i had my first transplant i showed it to my clinic and they said it's fine to use .

Will certainly give it a go. Interested in the conditioner too, really need to find a decent scalp friendly one

But as far I could see the description says nothing about scalp conditions or anything, right? Don‘t know if it really is that what you are looking for.

I‘m testing the Juniper Shampoo too atm. 2x per week Ketoconazole and other days probably 1 or 2 times per week the Juniper. So far neither positive nor negative effects.

So I‘m open to other suggestions too, but the 360 shampoo doesn‘t seem to be what we are looking for. However if you try it pls keep us updated here how it works.
