Please recommend some good products for sensitive scalps.

My physical strength has been declining since I started suffering from a recurring cold and body aches around the Lunar New Year in February. My skin has also broken out.

It seems like my skin is getting a bit better since I've been consistently using gentle, moisturizing products while minimizing irritation.

 

The problem is, my scalp seems to be in a terrible state right now.

My scalp is red and itchy, so I keep touching it. As I scratch, fine flakes or dandruff come off. It also feels hot.

I even fill a basin with water and soak my hair in it to rinse it thoroughly, thinking I might not have rinsed the shampoo enough.

Even though I usually wash my hair with lukewarm water and dry my scalp thoroughly first.

 

 

 

I used to use a soothing scalp care serum, but I'm wondering if I should use it again.

If it were facial skin, I would apply a generous amount of gentle, barrier-care products, but I don't know how to approach scalp care.

 

Should I use a milder shampoo? Something slightly acidic.

I try not to touch it too much because I'm worried my hands might be bad for my scalp. Also, it feels like my hair falls out when I touch it.

At this rate, I’m suddenly starting to worry about hair loss.

 

There are various types of scalp care products, ranging from mildly acidic shampoos to scalp tonics, serums, essences, and sprays.

Please let me know about products that worked well for managing sensitive scalps, and any products you would recommend.
