Has anyone suffered severe dandruff and itchy scalp, to the point...

I do usually in the winter time. I had to go buy some Scalpacin. That did help alot with the itching. Still get some flakes though.

Mirena made me lose tons of hair to the point that I have developed something called lichen plano planaris. Basically a scarring hair loss disease. The dandruff and itching are major symptoms. Not to scare you but I have spent the last year trying to diagnose/treat this and would love to help you avoid my path if this is the case. Are you losing hair in patches or down your scalp line? I would suggest a dermatologist appointment right away and have them test for this. I am now using a steroid twice a day on the scalp and am on men's rogaine. Feel free to write back if you have any questions! Good luck!

Thank you for your reply, i don't have any hair loss but the itch and flaky scalp is awful every time i move my head it is like a snow fall, i really hate it. I have most of the other side effects aswell but not too many seem to mention the scalp or else they just have'nt linked it to the mirena yet, It is the most terrible device ever what can people do to stop this?? I am now taking tablets for the rest of my life for an underactive thyroid and thats only since the mirena aswell?????

I have had itchy dry scalp. I've even bought the head and shoulders shampoo to no avail.

I posted a while back but here I am again.

I am getting this thing taken out tomorrow morning. I will post again tomorrow evening then again in a few months.

YES, I have suffered from a dry, itchy scalp and didn't make the connection before now.

Luckily I use organic hair products and take probiotic superfoods which I suppose has helped me to avoid hair loss.

Thanks for sharing this question, just another important reason to get rid of this awful mirena!

Yes, I suffered from dry itchy sore scalp. I had tiny pimples on it as well. Was at the doctor and she convinced me it was scalp psoriasis even though I'd never suffered from it before. She never linked it to the mirena.
However when I started to get suss about my other symptoms, ie.weight gain, acne, metallic taste in my mouth and body itching, severe mood swings and stress etc. I got the mirena out, and, all the symptoms have gone, especially the hair and scalp problem. Am starting to feel human again!

I have got the mirena removed 4 weeks now and i feel so good since, i should have removed it long and ever ago... I have lost 9lbs in 4 weeks i knew it had to be the coil as i don't overeat and i go to the gym 3 times a week but had continued to put weight on... Everything is back to normal except my scalp but i am working on it , i have been to a dermatoligist and he says it is scalp psorisis and i am applying a gel at the moment hopefully it will work,, the psorisis on my body dissappeared about 3 days after getting the coil out...xoxoxox
