“I have dandruff for many years!
I tried all shampoos but if I don’t take head bath it
comes back again and again!”
“I am totally fed
up with this dandruff. It gives me itching. I am much embarrassed
in meetings and public places!”
Dandruff is the most common problem that may
occur to everybody. White dry flakes constantly found while
brushing, gathering on color and shoulder really gives a source
of embarrassment, and the itch that may come with it is a
genuine nuisance. Medically, dandruff takes the terminology
as “Pityriasis Capitis or Seborrhoeic dermatitis.”
Many people assume that the problem has something to do with
hygiene and often wash their hair. Frequent shampooing can
wash the scalp, but the existing cause remains as such.
Why dandruff recurs?
Our
Body surface skin continuously sheds dead skin cells. Dandruff
refers to increasing amounts of flakiness on the scalp, represented
by increased turnover of the cells, which adhere to each other.
This can involve any hair bearing area of the body including
the eyelids. Normally the fakes are dry and white.
Greasy and yellow fakes resulted from abundant
secretion of oil substance “sebum” by sebaceous
glands. The hormone “Androgens” controls this
glandular activity, which is very active during puberty. This
is the reason why many teenagers complain pimples and dandruff
simultaneously. Some Times the leading cause of this is a
fungus, called Mallasezia or Pityrosporum
Dandruff may cause intense itching, which makes you scratch
that leads to infection, resulting with oily secretions in
scalp and yellowish brown scabs smelling bad. Most commonly,
this type is confused with psoriasis. Psoriasis can be well
differentiated by its enormous silvery scaling with red base.
Other causative factors include food allergies, excessive
sweating, use of alkaline soaps and stress. Dandruff by itself
does not lead to hair loss, but some fungal infection may
cause patchy hair loss.
How to get rid off?
Take head bath regularly to get rid of scalp
excretions and dust particles. Natural shampooing with herbal
powder is good. If you discontinue your measures or shampooing,
the dandruff will recur, because the problem lies within your
system. Dandruff is not a contagious condition, so you can't
get dandruff from using other people's combs and brushes.
However if you suspect fungus is the cause use separate comb.
Medical support is necessary because the problem
is internal in many cases. Homoeopathy roots the disease in
many ailments, popularity gained treatment of skin diseases.
In scalp conditions not only stream line the cells shedding,
but also covers the entire aetiological factors and other
associated skin conditions like Acne vulgaris, Allergy and
Psoriasis. Many have benefited from our system. The potentised
medicines on similar principle act on our body powerfully
without side effects. Prescription also varies to individual
to individual because the symptomatology is based on body
and mind studied with ailment symptoms.
