So I'm back to an odor problem. That same chemical citrus scent! Later when I skipped dinner, I got an awful sweet scent. In my desperation, I tried Jason's Dandruff Shampoo, but I smell horribly like sulfur and an unwashed musky scent. I can't smell like that in class!

So I'm back to thinking about either fragrance as the problem or possibly synthetic hormones. Have any of you found that hormone imbalance was the cause of your odor? Like becoming pregnant, taking birth control pills, etc.? Did any of you suffer weight loss and found that you had odor because of that?

Did more research online and found this wonderful journal article:

Looks like our scalp yeast has taken over our whole scalp. I'm looking into treatments for Pityrosporum ovale. I think this is why we are experiencing this problem. When we are stressed, take synthetic hormones, pregnant, generally unwell/not healthy, our bodies which house bacteria, fungi, and yeasts which are normally in balance, go totally out of balance. I'm guessing that the yeast on our scalps have overgrown all the other microorganisms. I'm going to look into shampoos that combat this yeast problem.
