Shampoo: no perfume: Shampoos for patients with sensitive skin should have few chemicals and no perfumes. The pH of shampoos change with chemicals. Good gentle shampoos include Baby Shampoo and tea tree shampoo. Don't use dandruff shampoos.In addition, the water should be lukewarm or even cold and the shower head needs a gentle flow.Avoid the use of a hair dryer and, if needed, hold the hair dryer at arm's length.
