Dry scalp anyone?

I normally do not have dry scalp issues or have ever dealt with dandruff, but lately, my scalp is dry and a little flakey.  Gross.  I figure its just another crazy pregnancy skin freak out.  You should see my chapped butt.  Seriously, I thought it felt a little dry then I checked it out in the mirror and it was all red and blotchy.  With a little extra lotion attention, its much improved, but goodness.  I've avoided checking out my bare cheeks in the mirror all pregnancy, now I have to look to make sure I don't have the creep 'n crud going on back there.  Tongue Tied 

Who else has crazy skin issues right now?  

I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

Re: Dry scalp anyone?

  • I have dry skin issues all over.  I had dry skin before, now, its horrendous.  AND its getting cold and dry here, so its even worse :(  I'm switching my showers to the evening so that I put on a TON of lotion before bed and then just sleep in it so that my skin can absorb as much of it as possible, then reapplying lotion in the morning.

  • When I was pregnant with my ds I had such bad scalp problems I couldn't use anything but baby shampoo. I have bad dry skin on my hands right now and I can tell I'm about to have an eczema flare up on my hands. Lotion just doesn't seem to do anything.
  • oh my goodness, yes!! i can't stand it, my poor hands and lips are constantly chapped and makes me want to cry sometimes because they hurt so bad.  and it seems like nothing helps.  and now my scalp is starting to dry out so i try to wash my hair every other day or so and then i make sure that i blow dry it all the way, because drying it helps prevent scalp from drying out.
