Åsa's results with
Q for Skin

Article in Året Runt:

Åsa had problems with her scalp even as a child, but it was only a few years ago that it became a real nuisance. In the end, it got so bad that she had to vacuum her bed to get rid of all the dandruff.

When Åsa Svensson, 48, from Linköping, was a child, she occasionally had problems with her scalp, which was itchy and flaky, and she was given strong ointments to moisturise scalp.

"When I reached my teens, the symptoms disappeared on their own and I didn't have any problems with seborrheic dermatitis for several years. But a few years ago, it started to come back, and I went to the doctor for help, says Åsa.

Åsa was given strong ointments, including ones containing cortisone, and also bought shampoo from the pharmacy to relieve and reduce the itching and prevent her scalp from flaking. For Åsa, the treatment had no effect and her scalp instead became numb and fragile. When she scratched, her scalp was so fragile that it sometimes started to bleed.

"I was a little surprised that there were no other, gentler products available; they were exactly the same products and ointments I had been given when I was younger.

"It really made a big difference, which was also noted by my hairdresser when I went to get a haircut. I am simply very pleased..."
