Beyoncé Has A Scaly, Itchy Skin Condition Since She Was A Kid, Mom Tina Knowles Reveals
Tina Knowles told Victoria Monét that her daughter Beyoncé also has a scalp problem like her.
This week, the "On My Mama" artist stopped by the Cécred Salon to get some TLC with Queen Bey's mom and Dr. Kari Williams, a trichologist, celebrity hairstylist and Director of Education at the salon. During her visit, she revealed that she has seborrheic dermatitis, "a form of eczema for the scalp."
While putting the clarifying shampoo and scalp scrub on Monét's scalp, Tina revealed that the product "was developed for Beyoncé because she has eczema."
"She's had it since she was a little kid. She got it from her dad, not me."
The "Cowboy Carter" artist's mom also revealed another tidbit about her daughter when the 35-year-old R&B singer-songwriter asked her to share her craziest salon story.
"When Beyoncé was little, she cut her [hair]," she recalled.

"Do you remember that hairstyle that was the two ponytails up here [in the front] and the one in the back? So, she saw me doing bonding. It was brand new and my cousin had me doing bonding on her hair."
"So she cut both her ponytails off and came and handed them to me and she was like, 'Put these back on,' because she thought you could just put your hair back on. I lost it," she continued.
The "Irreplaceable" singer previously opened up about the condition of her scalp in February, during the launch of her new hair care line, Cécred.
"I have many beautiful memories attached to my hair. The relationship we have with our hair is such a deeply personal journey. From spending my childhood in my mother's salon to my father applying oil on my scalp to treat my psoriasis -- these moments have been sacred to me," she told Essence in an exclusive interview.
Her brand is a portmanteau of her name and the "reverence she has for her own hair and others.'"
"So I took the end of my name, Cé, and made it the beginning of the word sacred to create Cécred. From my mother's salon, daily rituals with my father, and years of experience in developing a hair care line, the journey has been just that: Cécred."
Eczema and psoriasis are two distinct skin diseases that may be difficult to tell apart without the help of a dermatologist, according to Pfizer.
Psoriasis causes thick, silvery-white and scaly raised patches on areas like the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. It often starts during early adulthood.
Meanwhile, eczema tends to appear as patches of thicker or leathery skin in adults and as dry or scaly red rashes in children. This frequently develops in babies and children.
