I wasn't aware the same thing might have been suggested. I'm surprised it was erased?

Scope, won't cut the mustard (so to speak). It must be Listerine. Do one first, then try the other. If either don't work, do both!

I did the Head & Shoulders trip, it didn't work. I'm in Europe now and there's a PURE ZINC shampoo that I know would work. It's great for acne and other skin bacteria. It's called DHS SHAMPOO. This stuff ROCKS! It's expensive- around 15 dollars a bottle, but a only dab will do ya. I would use this instead of all the others also- if you can't get the DHS, ask for an Rx for Ketoconozole shampoo. It's used for bacterial, psoariatic and candida-type skin bacteria. It's also the family of anti-bacterials which fight sports jock-itch, dandruff and other bacteria-related issues. Works elegantly.

An aside: I don't use deodorant anymore. It may seem unhealthy, but I spray straight cologne into my underarms now. The denatured alcohol kills bacteria. The dryness from the dN alcohol is remedied by the humidity I have been living with here. Uff!

You have quite a few options. I didn't get is you were insulin resistant or diabetic. If you are, either one of these will help. The Keto shampoo is NOT a cortisone-based shampoo, which is good in the case of a glucose thing.

You were on the right track, just add or subtract some of these and let us know how they worked out. The results you should know in a 24-hour span. I understand and hear you. I don't blame you for your concern.
