Sounds like winter eczema. Try washing your hair with 1/2-1% coal tar shampoo (neutrogena , ionil-T, generics at CVS et al). If this does not resolve the problem, then see your doctor or dermatologist for an exam to determine what scalp,condition you have to treat, good luck

Can eczema start in your late 50s or early 60s? I read online that eczema starts in your 20s or earlier. I am almost 61 and have red, flaky, non-itchy spots on my face for the first time ever. I've always struggled with acne.

I was stung three times by yellow jackets. It's been a week. All three spots are red, warm feeling, and itchy. The sting spot is surrounded by redness. Is this normal? Or do I need to see a Dr.
