The dermatologist revealed the causes of dandruff on the head and named ways to deal with it. Her words leads Daily mail…
Eva Melegh explained that the structure of dandruff can determine the cause of its appearance. For example, large, dense flakes that look like wax chips can signal scalp fungus. According to her, the most common cause of the syndrome is the Malassezia fungus, which produces oleic acid, which leads to rapid changes in skin cells, thereby causing fungal dandruff.
The physician noted that people with oily skin are more likely to experience this type of dandruff. The woman urged to fight the infection using special shampoos, since they contain the antifungal component zinc pyrithione.
Fine dry flakes and itchy scalp, in turn, are more likely to be caused by skin allergies. According to the dermatologist, the preservative methylisothiazolinone, which is found in most shampoos, usually contributes to the appearance of allergies. To combat this kind of irritation, the doctor advised to carry out restorative procedures for the scalp using products with prebiotics.
According to the material, dry scales without itching indicate a burn of the epidermis on the head. Meleg explained that UV rays and hot water in showers often cause peeling. The specialist recommended using a moisturizing leave-in serum. In addition, she urged to wear a hat in sunny weather and not take a bath with too hot water.
At the same time, yellow flakes and inflammation of the scalp may indicate the presence of eczema. “Seborrheic dermatitis is a disease of the epidermis caused by damage to the skin’s barrier function, loss of moisture and bacterial infection,” Meleg explained, and suggested washing the hair with corticosteroids to treat eczema. In addition, she says, you should use fragrance-free shampoos.
In the end, the doctor assured that small dandruff and hair loss signal a deficiency of vitamins in the body. “Deficiency of iron, copper and zinc, as well as a lack of essential fatty acids can lead to scalp flaking and hair loss,” the expert concluded.
In October, a doctor revealed the dangers of frequent body washing. Washing too often, says Mike Varshavski, creates micro-cracks in the skin that allow bacteria to enter the body. He explained that a person needs to take a shower as the body becomes dirty.
