taking the scalp routine slow

Only on my second day of this scalp routine so not much to report yet, just watching before I get hopeful… Itching eased up a little in the evening but I cant tell if that’s the routine or just a decent day. Cut one product that seemed to make the flaking worse and changed how often I wash. Job hunting is still dragging on and the waiting alone stresses my skin out, anyone else notice flares getting worse around interview time! Knitting in the evenings instead of picking at my scalp has helped more than expected. Also restarted my budget spreadsheet this week, oddly calming to have one thing feel manageable. Want to try a gentler moisturizer at night next. Anyone have advice for this early stage when you can’t tell what’s helping yet?
