Has Anyone Ever Had Just Scalp Eczema? I've Had It For Over 3 Years. Been To 3 Dermatologists And Nothing Is Working.

I do and it's awful. Biopsy showed contact dermatitis. Doc didn't call me for a week because he couldn't believe the prognosis. My head has scaly things on it and before my cortisone shot it was soaking wet from weeping. Cleared up and came back after the shot wore off. But, it's dry with the scaly things on it now. I hate it and I never got it colored or use hair spray or gels. Just wash it and sometimes use a little conditioner. It's worse than the skin issue. I use a fragrance and sulfate free shampoo now. Still breaks out. Use triamcinolone cream on it. Also, bought a number 1 rated shower filter to use. Afraid it will get worse and then can't get my hair cut as I keep it short and straight.
