Any of you tried the 319 or 619 if you have this problem? Thanks

I haven't tried those 2, but I tried Tea Tree and Cucumber Melon. I could not use it. I had more itching. My derm told me to stop using it as I had a buildup and it was making my eczema/dermatitis work. These versions you are talking about may be ok, but I don't have experience with them. The several I tried, unfortunately, didn't work and exacerbated my condition. I have a problem scalp though.

Like Winamac, I have a problem scalp. Excema/seborrheic dermatitis. I do not use any WEN to cleanse other than once a week at most. The rest of the time I use a tea tree shampoo without sulphates (Trader Joes usually) or another clarifying shampoo without sulphates.

I do, however, use the 613 on my ends as a leave in. I use about a pea sized amount and run it through my damp ends and wring it out. I have had the same 16-ounce bottle in my shower for almost two years and finally at point that I could use a backup. I don't think I would get the 613 again, but the 316 TSV is tempting. The body cream seems pretty nice but I wish it didn't have so much silicone in it, otherwise I'd try it on my face

The WEN shampoo that works for my dermatitis issues is WEN for kids. It took me a while to realize that the menthol wreaked havoc on my scalp no matter which "regu;ar" WEN I used. I know that everyone is different, though, but my scalp reacts to sulfate free shampoos that contain orange, lemon, rosemary, peppermint to remember a few.

I tried the 619 once, and honestly don't remember what it did for my scalp, but I definitely remember that my finer, highlighted hair became very dry. Not sure what the issue was. I have used the watermelon WEN for Kids with no problems. Recently ordered the apple, but haven't used it yet.

I think think your best bet would be to consult with your derm. While I love the BB, as you already have an issue, I'd think you would rather have a professional opinion.

My derm suggested Selsun Blue which I do not like how my hair preforms and I really can not tell helps the scalp itch. I have been using Wen for years.

ripkajunkie, my derm several years ago recommended Selsun Blue, too!!!! OMG. Not only did my scalp hate it, but my hair was a mess after using it twice. So much for that great idea.
