Dandruff Treatments Of All Types Of Hair
Ringworm Infection, or Seborrheic Dermatitis , Scalp Psoriasis,Itching Scalp Disease
Hi friends, today I will be talking about what dandruff is what are the causes of dandruff, and how can it be treated.
Dandruff causes itching in the scalp and also causes the scalp skin to become red and dry. This dry skin then begins to flake offand it is these small dry flakes of skin that are called dandruff.
Today we will be speaking only about the treatment of common dandruff which is caused due to a harmless fungus on our skin which is known as Malassezia Furfur.
Dandruff is caused when this fungus suddenly begins multiplying exponentially.
The common causes for this fungus to grow exponentially are stress, a decrease in the immunity of the body.
such as when a person has Cancer, AIDS or has undergone an organ transplant etc.
Other causes are hormonal imbalances caused by diseases like PCOS.
Other causes are not washing the head/hair for long periods or applying oil and leaving it in one's hair for extended periods.
Dandruff can also be caused by hereditary skin problems
Sometimes some hair care products such as oil, shampoos and hair dyes cause allergies in people and this causes dandruff.
Atleast 40% of people are affected by this kind of dandruff sometime in their lives.
It happens more in winter because skin starts drying up and therefore dandruff starts increasing.
Because the most common cause of dandruff is the scalp being unclean.
That is why if you use a good, normal shampoo 2-3 times a week or a good soap to wash your hair then dandruff will usually not occur.

or Shikakai soap is also
great for washing hair.
At your house, you can soak Soapnut (Reetha) overnight and wash your hair with the water 2-3 times a week, this will ensure you never get dandruff.
Shampooing your hair properly ensures that the dead cells in your scalp as well as oil and dead cells, all of which contribute to the productions of dandruff are all removed properly.
If after doing all this, your dandruff is still not going away then you should buy a good anti-dandruff shampoo from the market
A shampoo that contains Ketoconazole ,Zinc Pyrithone, Salicylic Acid and Coal Tar also.
Glenmark's Scalpe Shampoo
Cipla's 8X Shampoo

all these shampoos are very effective in removing dandruff from the scalp.
In the beginning, wash your hair with these shampoos thrice a week and once the dandruff reduces, then they should be used twice a week.
These medicated shampoos should be used for atleast 6 weeks.
If your dandruff is not coming under control even then you must consult your doctor ASAP.
Most probably, your problem could be a Ringworm Infection, or Seborrheic Dermatitis or it could even be Scalp Psoriasis.
Once the doctor makes a proper diagnosis of your condition then a proper treatment can be done.

In the end, once again I would like to tell you that in order to keep dandruff under control
you must shampoo and clean your hair atleast 2-3 times a week.
Hair products such as gels, hairspray and scented oils should be used at the minimum.
Do not get chemical treatment for your hair frequently.
