For a few years I've had a very flakey scalp, it gets really bad and I've been given a gel called xamiol which keepsvitvunder control.
A few weeks ago I had to go into hospital for surgery to remove a tumor from inside my spinal column.
I was in hospital for around 9 days. While I was in hospital, my head totally cleared up, totally! It was as if I never had a scabby, flakey scalp ever.
My 't-zone' is also usually dry and flakey yet in hospital is was quite oily.
Within a week of coming home I'm back covered in scabs again.
What could be the cause of this? I've been on the same medication etc all the time and I can't think of any reason why it cleared up and then came back

Just a thought, but what about the Water??
ie is it the same water you wash and shower at home, or is it a differant water company? may be of help.

Yes the water was via a different company, I hadn't thought of that.
