I had problems with a flaky scalp, canker sores and irritating bedsheets.
Long story short, I cut out SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). I think it is just very efficient at removing protective oils from your skin, or possibly layers of "healing goo" when you have a cut or sore.
I removed it from my toothpaste, shampoo and laundry detergent.
I use verve toothpaste (@amazon), shea moisture shampoo and all fresh clean essentials sulfate free laundry detergent.
ymmv, but it has helped me quite a bit.
also, companies are tricky and rename it to various aliases on their labels to keep sales going.
