Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nikki: My husband has had dry scalp since his teen years and continues to do so into his thirties. He has been treated by conventional doctors for this with antibiotics/steroids with little effect. For the past 11 years it’s only been him who has struggled with this. As of last year, I have started to have dry scalp as well as our children. We try to eat healthy. We do eat out every other month and consume some white flour. We live on a small farm but are surrounded by conventional fields/farmers. Where should I start in healing my family? We recently ran the big five lab tests on my daughter and hope to get the rest of the family tested as well. Thank you! Anonymous: Hello Cabral Team, I am an undergraduate student looking to pursue a naturopathic or functional medicine health career. I have always had a passion for health and wellness, but last summer, through exposure to your podcast and products, I turned my attention towards natural remedies including detoxification, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to address chronic illness rather than through the use of pharmaceuticals. I am very interested in helping others discover this lifestyle and change their lives as I did; however, I am confused about how to pursue this path as many of my professors and advisors at school are unaware of functional medicine and the jobs it includes. Could you talk a little bit about your path in pursuing your degree, how you chose a medical school, any internships, opportunities, or jobs that lead you there and solidified your decision to attend medical school? Is it better to pursue another degree such as nursing or physician's assistant studies and build a job as a holistic practitioner around that or is it recommended to go to naturopathic/functional medical school? Ingrid: Hi Dr. Cabral, We made a video version of this email that I'm including the link to here which is better to see his skin clearly: https://youtu.be/h4PeKh-O0SQ My husband and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is a very healthy man of 34 who has never had alcohol, smoked cigarettes, has eaten a vegan diet for the last 3 years, and exercises regularly. Both he and I got a lot of mosquito and bug bites in the summer last year. In October, he realized that a small bump (he figured an insect bite) on his arm had not gone away. Thinking then that it was a wart instead, we put a salicylic acid patch on it. This burned a hole in his skin, which turned into a dime-sized open sore, oozing yellow watery liquid. Dermatologists nearby weren't available until January, so we went to the PCP office instead. The nurse practitioner determined it was impetigo (no tests, just visually) and gave him a topical antibiotic (Miuprocin) to put on it for a few days.This made the spot on his arm worse. The sore widened to be a strip of bumpy, oozing skin about 2 inches wide. We went back to the PCP, saw another NP who determined that the antibiotic must not have been strong enough, and prescribed him an oral antibiotic, Bactrim. Within a few days of the treatment with Bactrim his whole body exploded in hives, bumps and rashes. The original area on his forearm did not improve at all. It was very challenging, he couldn't sleep at all due to the itch and was extremely uncomfortable for the next few weeks. Total misery. We finally met the dermatologist in Jan. She said he likely never had a bacterial infection, that the original bump was probably an ingrown hair, but now he had developed severe eczema due to his response to the antibiotics. When asked why this happened, she basically shrugged and said "sometimes a person develops eczema", and informed us that this is now something we need to just "manage" for life. She gave him a tapered dose of oral Prednisone for a few weeks, and advised the use of hydr
