Malassezia and Dandruff with Crohn Patients
I wonder how many of those patients with Crohn's disease have big strong Dandruff on their heads?
I also wonder whether any Crohn disease patient has had any treatment with any medicine of base "itraconazole"?
My son has been diagnosed with Crohn and has Dandruff. In future discussions, I will elaborate more why I relate and ask about such thing.
Thanks.
Hi
, I know there are many strange and unexpected symptoms that can come with having Crohn's, however, I've never heard of dandruff being one of them! How is your son feeling? Thanks for being here - Pam (team member) Thanks Pam for replying, my son is now in a recession period (2 years now) and on Humira.
I just was interested about a certain bacteria that causes huge big chunks of dandruff on hair skin but can also be found inside the body.
A study shows that a very good percentage patients of Crohn went into recession after taking itraconazole based medication and they had dandruff.
I was wondering whether it is a good idea to try on my son that in addition to Humira treatment, I give him itraconazole based treatment.
