@jeanne5009 I found an unscented lotion version with Epsom salts in it. It's from Morton (as in Morton table salt). I think I found it at a Walmart, but you can find it online too. If you wanted to use the crystal version of Epsom salts, use a smaller towel and make a warm solution of it in a tub, soak the towel, and sit with that on you in your shower for a little bit before you dry off. You don't have to rinse that off and can do it after a shower. You can also just use a wash cloth and do this too and apply that to your scalp daily.

Just a thought: Try to make your shower water as cold as you can tolerate without torturing yourself. The scalp and back receive the bulk of the water, and hot water could potentially be inflaming the skin.

Maybe mix Epsom w/ warm water in a fine-spray bottle & spray areas and then let air dry? I was also thinking I might try using a body oil? Both are worth a try.
