I tried it in Denmark, and while it gave me a lot of hope and confidence the problem could be solved, it only resulted in a tiny reduction in my scalp fungus. I paid a lot of money for those products and also had to apply and massage every night before sleep. Long story short: Dr. Tukmachy here in Dubai solved the problem with my dermatitis and now I have all my hair again. It used to take 10 mins to dry my long hair, now it takes an hour! I never thought I would get my hair back and saw many specialists in Denmark without any luck. See this thread and my post under 'norne', had to get another EW account some time ago: http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/topic179966-tried-and-tested-doctor-for-female-hair-loss.aspx

Thank you to the people who,have answered questions, I appreciate it. I am not sure about the cynicism though or the intrigue for asking a few questions. Is life really that boring? I am real, it is not admin. We are looking to maybe move September 2016 - although I might stay until youngest is settled at university. You may have worked in universities a long time but you clearly don't know everything! Maybe we'll end up working together? The headhunter company are helping me as part of the deal to get my husband and yes, apparently associate professor jobs (part time) do exist! My CV meets the job spec I have been given. Not sure it is only Thursday or Friday I have posted but if it is, it is because I work full time and am often away for several days at a time. Why am I justifying myself? Maybe I can see some nice people who,want to be helpful and answer questions. I am not in the business of creating controversy just wanting to get a feel for a potential new way of living. I accept much is the same - there is a Waitrose that sells marmite - but I also know that the country comes close to lowest decile for gender equality (not something I am used to and not sure how I will cope with that). I had no idea what normal salaries look like, what housing costs are and what most people's deals are like. It is not intended as one upmanship amd sarcasm is unecessary and does the author no favours. Good luck with your move. Regarding gender equality, maybe you will be surprised about a few facts here. The latest example I found was regarding "equal" pay in Denmark, my country, vs. UAE. Women receive 83.6% of what their male counterparts earn (the equal pay law was introduced 30 years ago). Equal pay in the UAE: Women receive 86% of what their male counterparts get (the country was founded 44 years ago). You will also see that women here are able to have great careers. I see far more female CEOs and board members here than I ever did in Denmark. Just keep an open mind and get rid of the stereotypes you got through Western media, then Dubai might turn out to be an exciting adventure for you.

i am already a member of fitness first in the lakes - where i used to live. i can use the sports city gym with my membership i think so will head down there. i also have a few friends that go to the fit republic gym and have heard very good things about it. was thinking more along the lines of a meet up group at a coffee shop or bar, does anyone know of any or would anyone like to help me set one up? Hey Vio, I'm hopefully moving to Sports City by the end of this month. Would love to meet up for coffee there once I get settled, I was positively surprised to see the Greek deli/café near the (empty) canal and thought it looked very cozy!

Daiso has filters and the plastic funnel. Can't beat their prices and it works fine, just bought a 'kit' myself.

Sebizole is available in all pharmacies. If your doctor told you to use Nizoral earlier, you can easily give Sebizole a try instead - MUCH nicer and more efficient in my case (without drying the hair). Another thing that helped me when my scalp was itchy was Dabur Amla coconut oil, but the thing that put an end to the dry scalp/fungus was Sebizole. Hydration is also important.

Oh... I forgot the name of the tablets, and to be honest, the shampoo did the trick for me. I still use it regularly twice a week to get rid of the seborrhoeic dermatitis that Dr. Tukmechy diagnosed me with. I don't take any other supplements at the moment and the scalp is still doing okay. I have to use the Sebizole shampoo regularly otherwise the scalp acts up again. Sebizole does the same as Nizoral but doesn't leave your hair dry. I had used Nizoral without any luck back in Denmark, btw. My scalp was so itchy I couldn't use any regular shampoo except truly natural ones like African Black Soap or Syrian Aleppo soap. Anything else would cause a burning sensation in my scalp - as well as no new hair growth and thinning patches. Less than a month of Sebizole reversed the process and my hair is back to near-normal again. Good point about the water filter - I have the one from PureBlue but I think any filter will help and make the hair much softer, too.

This happened to me a few years ago and dermatologists in Denmark were not able to solve my problem. I searched here on Expatwoman and decided to see a recommended dermatologist - Dr. Ali Tukmechy near Deira City Center - during a visit to Dubai. He examined my scalp and suggested a shampoo and some pills that you can buy in any pharmacy here. I think that shampoo saved my hair and scalp and it's no longer dry and itchy. You should really see a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and correct treatment. The phone number for that clinic is 04 2952121, Al Wahda Building, Office 103, Port Saeed.
