Some trending remedies can be surprisingly helpful when used with caution. Tea tree oil, known for antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits, can be added (sparingly) to shampoo.

10. Documenting Symptoms for Your Doctor

Note possible triggers such as stressful events, illness, or new products. Taking well-lit photos every few days helps track changes especially useful if appointments are delayed.
