Dandruff- How to curb it to dandruff

Sept. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Seborrheic dermatitis or generally dandruff is a common skin condition that causes flaky scales on oily areas. It can appear at any time, from infancy to old age. When it affects the scalp of the infants, then it is known as cradle cap. It mainly affects the scalp and other body parts like eye brows, eyelids ears, around the nose etc. However dandruff is not infectious.
The exact reason for the development of dandruff is still unknown. But it is mainly caused by the excess production of new skin cells on the scalp. This cell production is too fast, that it pushes off the old cells rather quickly. In some extreme cases, it may cause frequent reddening and itching of the skin. Sometimes an increase in sebum production or skin secretion or poor immune system can cause dandruff. It can also be activated by contacting with allergic substances or exposure to extreme climatic conditions. In some cases it is also triggered by poor hygiene or irregular scalp cleaning. In some rare situations, hereditary is also an important factor in the development of dandruff. Mostly the white flakes may become visible on shoulders while wearing dark cloths, which could be quite upsetting.
Frequent shampooing and poor hygiene may help to keep the scalp dandruff at a distance. One best option for this purpose is Face doctor’s Hair & Scalp Doctor antibacterial shampoo. Besides being a herbal product, it is also safe to use for peoples of all age. Apply it once or twice a week according to the severity of symptoms. Massage it all over the scalp rather than on hair, so that the flakes release from the scalp. Leave there for some time, so that the shampoo gets enough time to work on itchy scalp. Later wash it off with warm water. It is necessary to condition your hair after shampooing. It will deeply nourish your hair and promotes the necessary moisture content to the hair. Here we can use another herbal product from Face doctor, Hair & Scalp Doctor conditioner. Apply it over the hair strands, without touching the scalp. On other affected areas, cortisone based creams or lotions are applied. But if the condition still persists, then we must not hesitate to consult a dermatologist. Sometimes it could be the indication of some immune system disorders. He will diagnose the condition and prescribe the required medications. Though it is incurable, it can be effectively controlled by proper care and hygiene.
