    Same with skin dermatology type conditions. How they fuck do we not have a pill or cream to cure itchy scalp. Why do I need to use expensive shampoos every two days the rest of my life or else I scratch my dandruffy scalp until it bleeds because there’s some fungus I now have to deal with until my immune system gets so old that the fungus takes over

      This probably won’t help you but I’m saying it anyway just in case it does help.

      I dealt with something similar for over a year that just wouldn’t get better even after I tried all the dandruff shampoos I could find at the store. My doctor prescribed this lotion called taro-mometasone (I think?) and within a week the dandruff was gone and it never came back. This was about 7 years ago, and I haven’t used the lotion since. And it was awful dandruff. It was becoming like scabs on my head and my hair was starting to fall out.
