Melbourne

I think its the weather. Or stress. I currently have eczema in my ears for the first time in my life. Its horrible. I've had it elsewhere before, usually triggered by stress or environmental stuff, but ears suck. Maybe some gentle moisture for your scalp?

I found if I wash my hair too often, I'm itchy. Not enough and I'm itchy. I've now found a balance.

An old remedy I found that worked for me is 1 part cider vinegar and 3 parts water. I put it in a bottle and after I've shampooed and rinsed, I'd tip half the bottle on my hair, lightly massage my scalp and let it sit for a couple of minutes before a quick rinse then condition as normal. Be warned. It's very fucking cold so i warm the bottle first. I haven't had to do this since I found "the balance".

I also have dry skin so when I jump in the shower and I've warmed up I turn the hot down and periodically do this during my entire shower until it's just warm before getting out.

You don't want psoriasis. I've had it behind my ears since I was 6, and it has never ever gone away. No moisturiser, steroid cream, or change of hair routine has had an effect on it. It comes and goes, recedes and spreads, according to its own will and desire.

It's probably the weather or stress that has caused your skin dryness. I've heard that having a hot shower as normal and then before you get out turn off the hot water and run yourself under the cold, can help as well. Hair dryers also cause damage from what I understand.
