hello,

i think i may have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp and above my eyebrows. for the last 4-6 months i've had red scaling and patchyness. and for the last 2-3 months, my scalp has been extremely itchy and flaky and quite oily.

my situation is this -- i live in canada, so to an extent, my health is covered. so i can make a visit to the doctor without having to pay, however i don't have that same luxury with a homeopath. i have been to a local homeopath about a year or two ago for my cold sores, and her treatment seemed to help quite a bit. thus, i'm feeling quite ocnfident with her and somewhat skeptical that the only thing a doctor/dermatologist will do is give me a pill/lotion/shampoo to take care of it on each occurence. and i'm worried that i just make my scalp even worse by putting more chemicals into it. whereas i have some hope that a homeopath treatment may be able to reduce the symptoms to an extent more permanently, but obviously i'd have to pay a bit of money.

health is important, obviously, so the money issue isn't the greatest priority, the question is really whether a homeopath will be able to do anything for me that a doctor/dermatologist won't? as i said, i don't want to go to a doctor and just be given treatments that may or may not work but will wear our my sensitive scalp even more.

what would you suggest?

thank you kindly for your time and help
