Had a new thing of dry skin on my scalp recently as well as on my chin and sides of mouth.
Have recently learnt not to blame MS for all my issues...

Turns out i have a major underactive thyroid drying my scalp out as well as an allergy to a brand of toothpaste damaging my face.

Who knew?

Toothpaste?!?! That's a new one I hadn't heard of before. Guess it must work by osmosis through your cheek!

I know what you mean by trying not to blame everything on MS. It seems like sometimes doctors do that.....as soon as they see MS on the chart, it makes a good thing to blame the current problem on. It's so easy to do being MS has so many different weird symptoms, various for everyone.

Good to hear from you, PF!! Is spring arriving "down there"?:)

Almost. a bit up and down. last week 17 degrees, this week 27, next few days back to 17.
Lots of rain coming which is a pain since I have all my hay on the ground waiting to be baled.

My face rash was more at the corners of my mouth; common allergy to Colgate apparently.

Good to be back :)

Yes, me also. Dry scalp, more so in the past 5 years or so. Also, I'm very sensitive to certain soaps like Zest and Irish Spring and have never been able to use them. I have to use Ivory or Dove soap. I even had to pick my wedding dress around which one didn't cause me to be itching and get a rash.
