Scalp with Scabs, Persistent Flaking and Itching | Targeted Care Programme

Scalp with Scabs, Persistent Flaking and Itching: Targeted Care Programme

A natural solution to soothe the scalp, lastingly

  • We draw on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to better understand the origin of these skin imbalances.
  • By identifying the likely origin of an imbalance, it is easier to find a suitable response.
  • Laboratoire Géomer has developed a natural, ingredient-based care programme that effectively soothes the scalp when facing discomforts such as psoriasis, scalp eczema, scalp scabs, keratosis or seborrheic dermatitis.
  • This programme, made from natural ingredients, helps you regain a soothed, light scalp from the very first applications — without cortisone or corticosteroids.
  • In case of cradle cap: see the appropriate care here

The basic care to soothe irritation and scabs on the scalp

To use once or twice a week, as needed. Affected areas ease progressively with each application.

  • Apply a little Dermo Purifying Peeling Gel on the affected areas to purify the skin, leave on for 20 minutes.
  • If scabs are present, it's best to follow the full care routine below, as in a specialised centre.
  • After the dwell time, rinse well with lukewarm water, then wash if needed with the Propolis Shampoo.
  • Only in case of significant itching, apply a little Oligo F4, which soothes the affected areas as soon as it's applied.
  • To reinforce the action of this care, a one-month course of Organic Silicon is recommended (see scientific articles).

These patches or scabs: what exactly are they?

Description

With this type of skin imbalance, dandruff is seen clustered together. These clumps form sticky scabs on the scalp, which encourage itching and hair loss.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective

Chinese character for Earth

Chinese character meaning the Earth Element

  • According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these skin manifestations are linked to an energetic imbalance of Element No. 3, Earth.
  • To learn more about this symbolic approach and its correspondences, visit our page on the Earth Element.

These imbalances can have several origins

Why do patches or scabs appear on the scalp?

  • Seasonal changes: at each change of season, our body goes through a period when the Earth Element is more called upon. It is often at that point that these skin manifestations are most visible.
    Winter → Spring Spring → Summer Summer → Autumn Autumn → Winter
  • Individual sensitivity: some skin types are naturally more prone to this kind of imbalance, regardless of the season.
  • Hydration: with modern drinks (soda, coffee, tea...) we no longer drink enough clean water. Our body needs clear water, in small amounts throughout the day. See our article >
  • Stress and everyday tension: as with many other imbalances, stress can also play a role in the skin's overall balance. A moment of relaxation, like the one built into the pause during our care routine, helps with that.

The care developed by Géomer to soothe the scalp

  • Building on these observations, Laboratoire Géomer has developed specific products and treatments.
  • These have proven themselves over many years in hair and beauty centres using our products, bringing genuine comfort to the skin.

Our first tip

  • The first thing to do is drink water! Let's help our body find its natural balance.
  • Choose water with low mineral content (dry residue under 50 mg/l): it's easier for the body to absorb.
  • Then drink 1.5 litres of water a day, in small sips, rather than in large amounts at once.

The Targeted Care Programme

Scabs, persistent flaking and sensitive scalp — as in a specialised hair centre

May suit scalps prone to psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis or keratosis.

Use once or twice a week until the imbalance has fully disappeared — usually 2 to 3 weeks.

Stage 1 — Loosening the scabs

  1. Start by loosening the scabs on the scalp with Plural Oil.
  2. Put a little Plural Oil on your fingertip and gently rub the scabs to soak them: they will dissolve gradually under the action of the finger.
  3. Work in small areas of a few cm² at a time; over the whole scalp, this can take nearly an hour.
  4. A word of caution: never tear off scabs, as this could make the skin bleed. Plural Oil loosens them gently, without forcing.
  5. If the scabs are light, like dandruff, and come off easily, Plural Oil can be skipped.
  6. Gently massage with your fingertips until the clumps have fully disappeared.

Stage 2 — Purifying (Dermo Purifying Peeling Gel)

  1. Apply the Dermo Purifying Peeling Gel on the treated areas, in a thin layer of 1 to 2 mm.
  2. Settle somewhere quiet during the pause: the sage resin and essential oils encourage a moment of relaxation and letting go.
  3. Leave on for 20 minutes.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water, then pat dry with a towel.

Stage 3 — Cleansing (Propolis Shampoo)

  1. On dry scalp, apply 2 pumps of Propolis Shampoo — a cleansing shampoo tailored to these specific needs.
  2. Massage with your fingertips to distribute it well, without wetting it, and leave on for 7 minutes so the propolis can work.
  3. Then wet, lather as with a regular shampoo, and rinse. One wash is enough.
  4. Dry your hair with a towel after rinsing.

Stage 4 — Soothing finish (in case of itching)

  1. Spread the equivalent of a teaspoon of Oligo F4 over the whole scalp, to calm and soothe the skin.
  2. Do not rinse. Style as usual.

Results

  • From the very first application, the "tight" feeling often felt on the scalp eases immediately, leaving a feeling of lightness and freshness.
  • Use this care once a week until the imbalance has fully disappeared (2 to 3 weeks, generally).
  • Afterwards, we recommend maintaining your scalp and hair with products suited to your needs, so this imbalance doesn't come back.
