Dandruff

[Guest guest]

Greetings, Loh Ming-Chee.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

A person's entire body surface continuously sheds dead skin cells. The skin

itself sheds every twenty-four days. Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells

from the scalp at an excessive rate. It is the result of the normal growing

process of the skin cells of the scalp.

 

Dandruff is seasonal. It is most severe during the winter and mildest during the

summer. The most common symptom of dandruff is scaling; itching is occasionally

present. Dandruff scales usually occur as small, round, white-to-gray patches on

the top of the head; however, scaling can occur anywhere on the scalp. The

following factors may make the flaking of dandruff worse: - Excessive use of

hairsprays and gels.- Improper use of hair-coloring products or excessive use of

electric hair curlers- Cold weather and dry indoor heating.- Tight fitting hats

and scarves.- Infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rinsing.- Stress,

anxiety and tension.

 

Since dandruff is a natural process, it can not be eliminated; it can only be

controlled. Mild dandruff may be controlled by regularly shampooing the scalp

with a mild, non-medicated shampoo. If frequent shampooing alone does not

control the dandruff, a medicated dandruff shampoo can be used. The most direct

way to control dandruff is to use a shampoo that contains a cytostatic agent,

such as selenium sulfide or zinc pyrithione. Cytostatic agents reduce the rate

of growth and multiplication of horny cells (top layer of skin on the scalp),

which caused a noticeable decrease in visible dandruff within several weeks.

Shampoos containing selenium sulfide should not be used if there is a cut or

abrasion on the scalp. Tar shampoos such as Tarsum will help to control

dandruff. Using an all natural shampoo with essential oils may likewise help

control dandruff.

 

When scaling of the scalp is accompanied by redness and greasy scaling on the

face, eyebrows and eyelashes, a person may have something other than dandruff.

If scaling occurs on parts of the body other than the scalp accompanied by

redness, this may indicate a more serious condition.

 

Given the above, in order for us to give you the proper healing protocol,

kindly provide more data to start with.

 

Love,
