I have smegma on my head making it difficult for hair to breathe, does anyone know any product or anything about it?

You do know what smegma is, right?

omar,

I don't think you mean smegma. You must be referring to something else.

Can you describe what you are talking about?

Falc

Yes propably I'm using wrong word, in Greek is called smigmatorria it appears on head, on body,on testicle.I have it on head.My scalp is producing something(smigma?)that it is stuck on haid and make difficult for hair to breathe.When i shampoo, my head is full of small white pieces of that.

Have no idea what you are talking about? sounds like dandruff or something

omar,

Smega is typically found on the genitals - I've never heard of it on someone's head. Perhaps you should see a dermatologist.

Falc

Yes dundruff but in heavy condition,it appears 16 years combined with hairloss.I have visit dermatologist and he gave me some lotion that really reduce it but hairloss continues slow but stable and I was thinking maybe you know something more.I also use proscar.

omar,

Is the hair loss you are experiencing genetic hair loss or is it due to your scalp condition? Severe scalp inflammation, infection, dermatitus, etc can cause various "non-genetic" hair loss such as Telogen Effuvium.

If your hair loss is genetic, finasteride and minoxodil are your two best bets. But I do recommend continually treating whatever scalp condition you have. What did your dermatologist call it? I can't imagine he would call it smegma.

It's generic but this dundruff make it even more harder.Well my doctor called it smigmatorria(σμηγματορροια) and searching Greek sites I come up to it many times it isnt' something uncommon in hairloss.Trying to find it in English I find smegma and smigma is there any difference between those two words?

The etymology of smegma (which one of the few English words to come from Greek rather than from Latin) is exfoliated cellular tissue. Omar, I would assume, based on your posts, that your doctor and you are working with the original definition of the Greek word and not the transliterated English version. Are you finding any of these secretions particularly behind your ears? Do you find any between your toes?

I recommend that you talk with your doctor for possible medication other than just dandruff shampoo.

I am at a complete loss for words............

At first I thought this was a joke but let's assume it isn't. I think what you are tying to verbalize is "sebum". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_gland

If this guy is messing with us, his IP address should be banned for life.

Who'messing me? Guys I'am a Greek Guy I don't know the exact medical terms in English.Behind ears yes a few times.I also use some lotion that help the scalp to produce less of that.

I am sure omar is not messing with us - but I'm still not sure that smegma is what he is experiencing - though Female Hair Loss gave a good possible explanation.

Sebum is a possibility.

Omar, I think following the medical advice of your dermatologist is the best thing you can do.

I hope there is not any "Fromunda" located where
the smegma is as well. That is scary.

Hi everyone! just checking in. Still waiting on my results. At just under 6 1/2 months. Hope you are all well!

Ok I search it it is sebum thank you.
