I am not ashamed in admitting I've lived with this crap for most of my adult life...

There are some horrible examples on the net/google, and mine wasn't the worst, but it was embarrassing and annoying to say the least!
The solution? This!
Just put some on your palm after a shower (avoid soaps), and rub it liberally on your head.
I am completely cured. Yeah it stinks at first, but the stench doesn't last that long.
White vinegar works it's magic on warts too.
Also if you got a bit of leftovers, it's so good with meat dumplings. Mix 4-5 table spoons of it with little bit of hot English mustard and black ground pepper. Dip dumplings in the mix. So yummy. Much better than soy sauce IMO.
There fixed it for yah. 
gamoden and sapoderm are medicated soaps which will assist. A lot of the time it mabe bad diet bad,bad teeth, reaction to chemicals. Gota be careful when diagnosing problems.Could be a carrier of staph www.medicinenet.com/superbug_staph_mrsa_spread_in_community/views.htm If you have ongoing problem be wize to get a referral to a dermatologist.
Its safe to try it as its natural but may not be an end all solution for everyone! Salt water does wonders for the skin if your not dealing with an open wound.
