Im 4 months along and my dandruff has gone bohot bad this time, scalp is itching like crazy. I used to use selsun before but now im scared to put anything strong. Is it ok to continue or should i ask my gynac first?
I also had terrible dandruff in my second trimester, but I didn't use Selsun. I just stuck to simple home remedies like applying dilute curd or mild baby shampoo because I wanted to be safe.
When my scalp started itching, I felt so miserable and worried about what was safe for my baby. I eventually asked my doc who suggested a very mild natural wash, and that brought me so much peace.
According to the pregnancy safety databases on my tracker app, Selsun has selenium sulfide which is category C. It's really better to swap it for a safe tea tree oil shampoo or consult your doc.
Listen, Selsun is a strong medicated shampoo. Don't use any chemical stuff on your scalp without asking your gynecologist first, just use a basic organic shampoo for now.
Medicated shampoo use karne se pehle doctor se pooch lena chahiye, haan. Hair fall aur dandruff toh normal hai pregnancy hormonal changes ki wajah se, tension mat lo na.
Oh god, please don't use it yet! I always worried that chemicals from the scalp might reach the baby, so I panicked and threw out all my medicated hair stuff. Better safe than sorry, just call your gynac!
Honestly, my hair was the last thing on my mind while trying to survive newborn sleep schedules! But yeah, medicated shampoos are a bit risky, so skip it and let the dandruff be for a bit.
