Overload in a fighter. Overloads, their effect on a person in different conditions

Dandruff in Latin means bran - indeed, the appearance of exfoliated skin particles resembles this dietary product.

Such a habitual, and for some, lifelong phenomenon as dandruff from a medical point of view is a syndrome characterized by a high rate of exfoliation of skin particles in the form of scales.

As a rule, dandruff bothers for a long time, most often observed on the scalp. Doctors consider dandruff to be a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. In this article, we will talk about dandruff, its causes and treatment in various ways.

Causes of dandruff on the head

There are several reasons that provoke increased exfoliation of skin particles, but most often the symptom is caused by several factors that aggravate one alone:

• Metabolic disorders are the root cause of dandruff, making the body more vulnerable to the action of pathogenic factors.
• Hormonal disorders are the most common causes of dandruff in women.
• Some diseases (gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, bronchopulmonary pathologies, neurological diseases, immunodeficiencies);
• Hereditary predisposition is a factor that cannot be corrected.
• Incorrect work of the sebaceous glands.
• Violation of the diet, hypovitaminosis.
• Mental and physical stress.
• Fungal infection caused by Pityrosporum Ovale - yeast-like fungi, representatives of the normal microflora of the scalp.
• Improper care of the scalp (overdrying with a hairdryer, curling irons, frequent staining);
• Irrational use of a headgear (not wearing a hat in winter or wearing a warm headdress in the heat);
• Insufficient hygiene of the scalp. However, this reason can be realized only in a completely advanced cases when people completely neglect washing their hair.

Risk factors in the development of dandruff

If we consider dandruff as a form, then dandruff refers to the dry form of the disease. At the same time, sebum secretion is significantly reduced, and the natural exfoliation of skin scales is accelerated by 3 times and takes 1 week instead of 4.

There is a classification of dandruff into dry and oily, but many experts consider it incorrect, since with true dandruff there is always a reduced separation of sebum. Oily dandruff is rarely pronounced, particles of exfoliated epithelium are already observed on the hair and rarely on the skin itself. But dry dandruff is always plentiful, proceeds with severe skin irritation and itching.

Dandruff symptoms

• visible white scales of exfoliated skin on hair, shoulders, clothes, headdress, comb;
• dry skin, but oily skin can also have dandruff, since both conditions are variations of metabolic disorders;
• irritation of the affected skin;
• dullness and brittle hair;
• with progression or long course: Enlargement of scales, reddish spots and yellowish crusts on the skin.

Differential Diagnosis

Before making a diagnosis, you should visit a doctor and exclude pathologies such as psoriasis and eczema. Both diseases rarely affect only the scalp, have a wide distribution and additional symptoms.

What absolutely can not be done with dandruff

• Scratch your head. Dandruff and itching are an unpleasant combination, and itching exacerbates the pathology. Scratching and scratching already irritated skin will exacerbate the problem. Infectious agents easily penetrate through microdamages, which leads to the formation of pustules;
• Use alcohol-based products, which greatly dry out already dry skin;
• Dye your hair and use other aggressive hair products;
• Use metal combs, the teeth of which damage the skin and increase dandruff.
• You should forget about hair dryers, irons and curling irons.

Dandruff Treatment Methods

Treatment methods for dandruff can be divided into traditional and folk. The effectiveness of the chosen method depends on the correctness of its application. Before using any method of treatment, you should visit a doctor (dermatologist or trichologist) - perhaps the problem is much more serious than it seems.

Traditional ways

Antifungal therapy - is prescribed to all patients, since in the vast majority of cases the fungus is the cause of dandruff or joins later. Medicated shampoos and lotions, main active ingredients:

Clotrimazole (Cloderm) an antifungal agent that destroys the integrity of fungal membranes	Ketoconazole Azole with fungistatic and fungicidal action: Mycozoral, Nizoral, Perkhotal, Sebozol.			Bifonazole (Bifon) antifungal agent with prolonged action (up to 48 hours)
Ichthyol (Dermasens) contains sulfur, which has a local anesthetic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, normalizes the cell metabolism cycle	Zinc Pyrithione (Friderm Zinc) antimicrobial and antifungal activity	Cyclopirox (Sebiprox) pronounced fungicidal activity	Octopirox (Seborin) substance with antifungal activity	Salicylic Acid (Salicylic Shampoo) has a keratolytic and antimicrobial effect
Quassia Amara extract (Quasix cream) plant with antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory action	selenium sulfide slows down cell division and acts on the fungus: Selegel, Sulsen and Sulsen-forte.		Medical tar (T/Gel Neutrogena, Friderm Tar, Sebuton) disinfecting the skin, reduces and normalizes cell metabolism

Shampoos and lotions containing a combination of several active substances have the greatest effect.

keto plus zinc pyrithione + ketaconazole	Kelual DS zinc pyrithione + ciclopiroxolamine + keluamide	Algopix medical tar + salicylic acid	Elf ketaconazole + zinc	NodeDS climbazole + salicylic acid + zinc pyrithione	Phytosylic salicylic acid + tea tree, cypress, frankincense oils

General instructions for the use of medicated shampoos

All medicated shampoos require long-term use for 2-6 weeks and then prophylactic use 1-2 times a week.

Like other medicinal formulations, shampoos and lotions have some contraindications for use and a number of side effects- this should be considered before starting treatment.

A sufficient amount of therapeutic shampoo is applied to the hair, foamed and evenly distributed on the skin and hair. The exposure time is an average of 5-10 minutes, after which the shampoo is thoroughly washed off with running water.

What about Procter & Gamble's advertised Head & Shoulders shampoo? This shampoo does not belong to the therapeutic group, although it contains zinc pyrithione. This means that the concentration of the active substance is such that there will be no harm from the shampoo, but it will not be able to cure dandruff either.

Drugs used to normalize lipolysis processes

• Methionine - normalizes the synthesis of phospholipids from fats.
• Riboflavin - participates in fat metabolism, normalizes redox processes.

Restorative therapy

Dandruff often accompanies immunodeficiency states, hypovitaminosis, dysbacteriosis. Therefore, in the complex of treatment, vitamin-mineral complexes are prescribed (see), immunomodulators (see) and probiotics: (see).

Lifestyle, nutrition

As in the fight against any other disease, nutrition, emotional and physical condition play an important, if not the main role in the fight against dandruff. Nutrition should be complete in terms of vitamin-mineral and protein composition, but the fat and carbohydrate part should be limited. You should enrich your diet with greens, vegetables and fruits, seafood.

Normalization of the emotional state is sometimes the key to the treatment of dandruff. If it is difficult to cope with psychotraumatic situations on your own, you should contact a psychotherapist. It is possible to use light sedatives, for example, Persena (see).

Treatment of dandruff with folk remedies

Alternative treatment of dandruff is often much more effective than advertised drugs. According to statistics, only 5% of people suffering from dandruff turn to specialists for help, while the rest are either not treated at all or use grandmother's methods. Of course, this approach is wrong, but thanks to these people, we learn effective ways in the fight against dandruff.

How common is dandruff

Who do you think dandruff is more common in men or women? There is an opinion that men At the same time, it is interesting to note that dandruff occurs in more than half of the population at some time in their lives, and about a third - dry scalp. In general, we can say that:

• dandruff is rare in children;
• it can begin in adolescence;
• it is equally intensely common in men and women from 20 to 40 years old;
• the number of men and women suffering from dandruff is approximately equal;
• it noticeably decreases after 50 years.

So, is it true that, in general, dandruff is more common in men than in women? No, it's not. Men seem to be less confused by this problem, which is why it seems to be more common among men. Causes can range from not caring enough about the problem to predominantly short hair where dandruff is simply easier to spot.

Dandruff or not dandruff - that is the question?

Before you start fighting dandruff. You must be sure that you have identified dandruff. Therefore, you must be able to distinguish dandruff from other dandruff-like skin conditions.

Dry scalp

Dry scalp can be caused by a lack of moisture, such as that of aircraft crew members, as they work in very dry air conditions. The flakes can be similar to dandruff, but thinner and even drier, and none of the factors that cause dandruff are present. Peeling due to dry skin usually resolves within a few days. If the skin is dry, you should use a quality shampoo at least twice a week, a conditioner and not too hot water. The problem usually disappears quickly.

Dandruff or a more serious scalp lesion?

Now we have a serious question. There are other problems with the scalp, and although they are relatively rare, you need to be prepared for this. When you notice white flakes and red, inflamed, partially painful, bleeding and/or severely itchy scalp, you should see a dermatologist. Avoid any chemical procedures (for example, highlighting, coloring, perming) if the integrity of the skin is compromised. White flakes may only resemble dandruff, but are a manifestation of another skin disease. These scalp diseases do not go away without treatment, and cosmetic dandruff shampoos do not help here.

A few examples of dermatological conditions that can be similar to dandruff in some cases: dermatitis, seborrheic eczema, psoriasis and microspore.

Examples of dermatological diseases

	Inflammation of the scalp, manifested by peeling, redness. The appearance of itching may be a sign of the initial stage of dermatitis.
seborrheic eczema	Accompanied by irritation and sometimes redness of the scalp, face, hairy parts of the body, skin folds and areas behind the ears. It can intensify with stress and illness, flare up and fade again. Seborrheic dermatitis worsens in middle age and is common in older people, especially men.
	A non-contagious skin disease that can occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, or throughout the body. In severe cases, the scalp becomes itchy, red, and covered with silvery scales, the affected parts are usually well-defined. This may result in hair loss. The disease can be aggravated by stress and mechanical irritation, flare up and fade again.
Microsporea	A fungal infection that appears as pink, scaly patches of skin.

Causes of dandruff

Why do some people suffer from dandruff? Maybe they don't eat right or wear a hat too often? Over the years, several causes have been identified that cause dandruff: microorganisms, disruption of the sebaceous glands, stress, diet, climate and hormonal changes.

Although many studies have been done, the exact cause of dandruff is not entirely clear. However, the results of the study lead us to the fact that the main cause of dandruff is the fungus Malassezia Furfur, and the disruption of the sebaceous glands also plays a role. Research has proven that when dandruff occurs, Malassezia Furfur is greatly increased compared to the norm.

Fungus Malassezia Furfur

Everyone has millions of microorganisms on their scalp. These microorganisms are naturally present on our body and are called natural flora. In general, they are harmless and even protect the skin. One of them is the yeast Malassezia Furfur, which is always present on the scalp, both normal and with dandruff.

Research results tell us that Malassezia Furfur microbes are on the rise on scalps with dandruff.

No one is sure that the number is increasing, but the Procter & Gamble labs made sure that:

1. The microbe Malassezia Furfur is found in sebum and prefers areas of skin with many sebaceous glands. So where there is sebum, there is Malassezia Furfur;
2. When microbes multiply, they irritate the scalp and as a result, the cell renewal cycle is greatly accelerated.

Irritation of the scalp can be caused by direct or indirect causes:

Direct

The sebaceous glands provide an oily environment that provides the basis for the reproduction of Malassezia Furfur. When the amount of Malassezia Furfur increases, the number of microbes can very well cause irritation and speed up the scalp's cell renewal cycle.

Indirect

Since Malassezia Furfur recycles sebum, re-formulated sebum can pass substances that irritate the scalp and therefore speed up the cell renewal cycle.

Other causes that may cause dandruff

Are there any other reasons at all?
Yes, dandruff is very rare in children. It usually occurs at puberty and resolves with age. When puberty is reached, sebum secretion changes. Teenagers develop pimples as more sebum is produced, while older people get dryer skin due to a lack of sebum. Hormonal changes that increase sebum production (or even a diet high in fat) can contribute to dandruff.

Some people also think that hats can cause dandruff. This has not been proven, but it is possible that dandruff is more noticeable when you remove your hat. If so, then the hat is only the reason why dandruff becomes noticeable, and not leading to its formation.

Dandruff in residents different countries

People all over the world, in hot and cold countries, with wet and dry climates, are faced with dandruff. There is no clear relationship between climate and the amount of dandruff. The number of people who suffer from dandruff varies from country to country, but it may be because people wash their hair with different frequency, that dandruff is more noticeable on dark hair, or because in some countries they pay less attention to it. attention.

If there is dandruff, the fungus Malassezia Furfur is always present, but it is still not clear whether this is a primary or secondary factor in the sloughing of cells from the scalp.
Most important facts about dandruff:

• white flakes;
• increased cell turnover;
• cosmetic rather than medical problem;
• amenable to correction;
• not contagious.

Dandruff bothers more than 30% of the world's population and is the result of excessive flaking of the skin. These processes not only bring aesthetic discomfort, but also cause unbearable itching, thereby worsening the quality of life.

Completely epithelial cells change at 1-month intervals, on the basis of which, a slight manifestation of dandruff is not a problem, this is normal physiological process, in which it is calmly washed off during hygiene procedures.

However, if there are certain disorders in the body, then keratinized scales will be produced in more, linger by hair, will begin to form into a crust, as a result of which contact with air is difficult. The signs of dandruff are also manifested by the weakening of the hair, which becomes more fragile and brittle. Based individual characteristics work of the sebaceous glands, differ the following types dandruff:

The appearance of dandruff can occur in both men and women, and most often it is formed in children in adolescence, but after reaching the age of 40, the issue begins to lose its relevance.

Unfortunately, dandruff can occur in anyone, regardless of gender, social status. However, there are common factors risks that affect the causes of dandruff.

Methods of influence

When dandruff occurs, causes and treatment are closely related. Before starting the treatment of dandruff, it is necessary to understand why it appears, because there are times when it indicates the presence of disorders in the body, sometimes it is the first bell that you need to see a doctor in order to detect serious diseases at the initial stage.

Sometimes the question of how to cure dandruff on the head may require the help of an endocrinologist, an immunologist, because without finding out the cause that caused this trouble, it will be impossible to cure dandruff qualitatively. In this case, local funds will be powerless.

1. Change shampoo.
2. Try not to use hair styling products, hair dryers, curling irons, straighteners.
3. You need to pay increased attention to your diet, limit the use of sweet, spicy, pickled, starchy foods.
4. If dandruff appears, especially dry type, do not wash your hair daily, as this will lead to excessive dryness and, as a result, increased functioning of the sebaceous glands. When the fat layer is often washed away, the epithelium dries up or secretes more lubricating fluid.

Traditional Therapy

However, sometimes it will not be easy to get rid of dandruff through the above actions; without the help of a specialist, this process can drag on for long time. If the pathology has not acquired complex shape, then along with the coordination emotional level you should use the following guidelines:

Alternative ways

In combination with traditional therapy, it is allowed to use treatment with folk remedies that fix the result. However, before using folk methods, you should be sure that there is no allergic reaction to the components that make up their composition. The most common remedies include the following recipes:

From the TV screens, all you can hear is “a new remedy for dandruff!”. These funds flood the shelves of cosmetic stores. People rake in these funds, without hesitation whether it will fit or not. Can you wash your hair with this? Many even forget to take into account the type of hair, personal tolerance and so on. To begin with, it is worth understanding what it is and where it comes from?

Dandruff is a nuisance that everyone, young and old, has experienced. This is more of a medical issue than a cosmetic one. In the language of terms, dandruff is a skin fungus. It appears due to a violation of the regeneration of the scalp.

This fungus lives permanently on the scalp, but in minimum quantity. If the balance is disturbed and under the influence of certain factors on the body, it can begin to develop at a very high speed. The development of yeast-like fungi on the top layer of the scalp is what dermatologists call dandruff.

Doctors believe that the fungus begins to develop due to:

• stress;
• violations of proper nutrition;
• bad habits;
• overwork;
• improper hair care;
• improper selection of cosmetics;
• endocrine system disorders;
• weakening of the immune system;
• hormonal changes;
• other.

Dandruff does not choose who appears and who does not. It can be in both a child and an adult. Girls and women are most often affected, the male half is less. This is due to the fact that men experiment less with their hair.

Dandruff appears as a result of malnutrition, stress and bad habits.
Not proper nutrition, or unbalanced, as it is commonly called in modern world, always brings harm, not benefit. It leads to a large release of free carbohydrates, which are actively converted into subcutaneous fat, which over time is secreted through the sebaceous glands to the upper balls of the scalp. The keratinized cells do not have time to exfoliate and stick together with this fat. After that, dandruff appears. Bad habits and stress change how the body works. The consequence of these changes is disruption of the body at all levels of life.

Wrong choice of cosmetics

The most elementary is the wrong choice of shampoo or balm. It is worth a couple of times to use it with normal hair and the skin immediately dries out. That entails the appearance of nasty itching and dandruff. It is worth considering carefully the choice of shampoos and balms. They should ideally fit the type of hair, be non-alkaline.

Wrong hair care

It is always worth knowing that it is easier to preserve and strengthen what is, than to build a new one. When making a new styling, using ultra fixation foam or varnish, you should not forget to wash it off immediately. And rinse very, very thoroughly cleansing the scalp. Poorly cleansed scalp from styling products can lead to the appearance of fungus and hair loss. It happens like this: the scalp is covered with a thin film, which provokes a large release of fat from the sebaceous glands, which leads to rapid pollution. Through this film, oxygen does not enter the hair follicles - this eventually leads to loss, and pollution to the appearance of a fungus.

These causes of dandruff are more serious than the previous ones. With problems in the endocrine system, you should immediately consult a doctor, and not self-medicate. In such situations, dermatitis, fungi and other diseases that no one thinks about often develop.

A weakened immune system can cause dandruff to appear even in a teenager. This is due to the fact that the skin does not have time to renew the epidermis in time, and this process accelerates and dandruff appears.

Hormonal changes are natural process in the life of every person. During such periods of life, the appearance of dandruff is quite a characteristic process that should be expected. In such situations, the fungus usually goes away on its own, without additional interventions.

In order to determine the correct cause, which served as an impetus for the development of the fungus, it is recommended to contact specialists, dermatologists and trichologists. After passing the necessary examination and passing certain tests, the doctor will accurately determine the cause of dandruff and prescribe the correct treatment.

How to prevent dandruff?

You can also prevent dandruff. There is a certain method of preventing the appearance of dandruff.

The very first rule is to follow a diet, or to observe proper nutrition. Review your diet and eliminate fatty, smoked and salty foods as much as possible. Sweets can be replaced with fruits, and canned food can be replaced with fresh vegetable salads. It is absolutely necessary to abandon the use of alcoholic and carbonated drinks.

Second rule- forget about bad habits. They did not bring anyone to good.

Third rule- personal hygiene. Learn how to properly care for your hair and scalp. Use only your own toilet products and keep them clean. Choose the right cosmetics for yourself and other cosmetics.

Fourth Rule- well-being. You need to give your body a rest. Drink vitamins regularly. Try to avoid stress.

Do not forget that in the body everything is very closely connected, as in a chain. It will be great that one, the whole chain will be intact. Improve your health and your hair will thank you!

Video about seborrhea and dandruff

Dandruff formation can occur for a variety of reasons, the most common of which are:

• Functional disturbances internal organs. As a rule, certain failures occur precisely in the secretion of the sebaceous glands of the scalp. This phenomenon can be provoked by various gastrointestinal diseases, problems in the functioning of the thyroid gland, as well as endocrine disorders. Severe nervous disorders, constant exposure to stressful situations can also cause dandruff.
• Wearing dirty hats, using stale bedding. In order not to suffer from dandruff, you should regularly change bed linen and wash hats. If this is not done, ideal conditions are created for the development of fungi that are on the scalp.
• Using the wrong shampoo. It is not recommended to use low-quality and very cheap products, because they can cause the development of seborrhea.
• Infrequent hair washing. The head should be washed as it gets dirty. In some cases, this has to be done every day. Do not neglect this rule, as the accumulated dust and dirt cause serious harm to the health of the hair.
• Violations in the process of cell renewal, which should take place every 25 days.
• Harmless yeast. It lives on the body of every person, but when favorable conditions are created, it begins to multiply intensively. An increase in the number of fungus occurs as a result of a change in pH. The beginning of the development of seborrhea is provoked, which is accompanied by a rather strong feeling itching. The scalp begins to itch constantly, the number of white flakes increases sharply.
• Improper scalp care. Dandruff can appear as a result of too frequent dyeing, abuse of a hair dryer or a hair straightener, and the use of inappropriate caring cosmetics. Often seborrhea is provoked by the wrong shampoo or balm, masks. As a result of excessive use of strong fixation foam or varnish, a film is formed that clogs the scalp, therefore, the water-lipid composition changes.
• Wrong nutrition. The development of seborrhea occurs as a result of metabolic disorders. The scalp can begin to itch a lot as a result of vitamin deficiency, sudden weight loss, excessive alcohol consumption.
• Physical and emotional exhaustion constant depression, as well as overvoltage, create ideal conditions for the development of yeast. As a result, the head begins to itch a lot, the correct metabolism is disturbed, and ugly flakes appear.
• Hormonal disruptions. Such changes can occur as a result of age-related changes, in violation of the menstrual cycle, during pregnancy.

1. Metabolic changes are one of the factors.

In addition to the above reasons, dandruff often appears from a bad, improperly selected shampoo. One shampoo for the whole family, budget options and the use of shampoos designed for the opposite sex lead to all sorts of diseases of the scalp and hair.

You should not save on health, because treatment will cost much more. In the store, you need to select shampoos for each family member separately, including children.

The cell renewal period is 25-30 days. They are born in the basal layer of the epidermis, and moving towards the surface of the skin, they gradually lose moisture and become flat, eventually completely keratinized.

In the process of washing, they are easily washed off the head. BUT, if this period is suddenly reduced to 7-10 days, then our cells do not have time to “ripen”, remaining still sticky, as a result sticking together to form clearly visible white flakes.

All this can be accompanied by itching, sometimes severe, causing mechanical irritation of the head and even wounds due to scratching.

Dandruff can also be oily. When the sebaceous glands work very actively, forming a greasy layer on the scalp and separate yellowish accumulations in the form of plaques.

As for how often and in whom dandruff is more common, the answer will be unequivocal - in men and women equally, in children and the elderly - less often. By the way, in children, dandruff usually appears at a transitional age, while in the older generation “over 50”, on the contrary, it loses its activity.

Actually, as I understand it, just dandruff in our time is becoming less common, usually it is already seasoned seborrhea of ​​the scalp.

There are the following causes of dandruff:

• weather conditions that disrupt the functioning of the sebaceous glands (for example, sudden changes in temperature in winter, heat and dry air in summer, high humidity in autumn and spring);
• hereditary factor;
• lack of vitamins, which usually occurs in the winter-spring period;
• malnutrition, the predominance of fatty and spicy foods in the diet, which disrupts normal metabolism;
• hormonal changes in the body associated with age-related changes or health problems
• improper care of the scalp, very frequent or rare washing of hair, the choice of inappropriate cleansers, styling, fixation;
• all kinds of infections and allergies;
• stay in precarious emotional state, stress, depression.

Dandruff is loose skin particles that are a mild manifestation of a disease such as seborrheic dermatitis. If you turn to Latin, then the literal translation of the word "dandruff" sounds like "bran".

This is due to the fact that the separated skin particles look like a well-known dietary product.

Although dandruff is a common occurrence for many people, this syndrome is a medical concept, manifested in the exfoliation of small particles of skin at a considerable speed. He worries the patient for a long time, sometimes throughout life, the localization of the pathological process is the scalp. To get rid of the obsessive syndrome, you need to know about the causes of dandruff and how to deal with it.

The top layer of the scalp is an accumulation of keratinized cells, which eventually exfoliate from the surface, thereby making room for the growth of new ones.

The origin of cells occurs in the deepest layers of the epidermis and, passing the way to the uppermost layer, the cells lose moisture, become flatter and thinner.

As a rule, scalp cells are renewed every 3-3.5 weeks, but if this process is compressed to only one week, the cells no longer have time to fully form. As a result, they are pressed together, forming white porous flakes - dandruff on the head.

Causes and symptoms

More common name dandruff - seborrhea. Flowing as an inflammatory process in the scalp, this disease is different wrong work sebaceous glands, as a result of which the secretion of sebaceous secretion increases or decreases.

In some cases, seborrhea is disturbed and chemical composition sebum.

Fungal infection of the skin

The most common cause of dandruff in men is malnutrition. Refusal or excessive consumption of sweets and other complex carbohydrates leads to an increase in the sweat glands on the head or dry skin.

Hormonal failure can also lead to this problem. highest point hormonal activity in men is considered puberty. The good news is that dandruff most often disappears after the end of this period, of course, if the situation is not aggravated during this time.

In addition, men rarely carefully select hair care products. Very often, ordinary soap is used instead of shampoo. This is the third most common cause problems of the scalp and hair in men.

Before prescribing treatment, the doctor always first makes a diagnosis. It is the same in the fight against dandruff: first you need to find out the reasons for its appearance, and then get rid of the “snowflakes”.

There are several reasons leading to the accelerated separation of particles of the dermis on the head.

There are certain factors that, under the influence of each other, exacerbate the existing problem:

So, let's figure out why dandruff appears on the head. The appearance of dandruff is a reaction of the body to any irritant.

Conventionally, the causes of its occurrence are divided into two categories: endogenous and exogenous. The first are due to violations of the human body, the second - external influences on skin and hair.

Endogenous:

• infectious diseases caused by a fungus;
• lack of vitamins A, B, E;
• serious disruption of the endocrine system;
• improper functioning of the digestive system;
• allergic reactions;
• chronic skin diseases;
• genetic predisposition;
• serious stress.

Exogenous:

• frequent staining;
• overdrying hair with a hairdryer, curling irons;
• the use of low-quality or expired hair care products;
• hypothermia of the head or long stay under the sun.

Of the above causes, the main ones are fungal infection and metabolic disorders.

An infection of the scalp is caused by the yeast fungus Malassezia Furfur. It lives on the epidermis of both the sick and the healthy person.

It feeds on sebum and is normal, by the number of individuals it should not exceed 30-50% of the entire microflora of the scalp. But if you create suitable living conditions for it (dirty and oily skin, improper skin and hair care, etc.), then the fungus begins to multiply intensively, which irritates the epidermis, and this leads to the fact that skin cells develop incorrectly and peel off too early.

Metabolic disorders are the second most common cause of dandruff. Incorrect metabolism causes malfunctions in the sebaceous glands of the skin, and the sebum secretion regime is disturbed.

Treating dandruff is important to start by identifying its cause.

Pediculosis, seborrheic dermatitis, fungal skin lesions - all these diseases cause such an unpleasant symptom as itching of the scalp. We will consider the causes of negative sensations in the article, and also talk about methods of treatment and prevention.

Let's look at the types of dandruff remedies here. And also tell you how to choose the right drug to get rid of dandruff.

And in this thread http://hairs-club.ru/lechenie-volos/perxot/effektivnyj-shampun-ot-perxoti.html we will learn how to select an effective dandruff shampoo and the rules for using hair washing products.

Noticing dandruff on the head, the majority immediately runs to the store to purchase the advertised shampoo. However, not always the problem can be solved by changing the detergent for the hair.

There are a lot of reasons for the appearance of dandruff, and in order for the treatment to be quick and, most importantly, successful, you need to know exactly what triggered the imbalance.

Conventionally, all causes of dandruff can be divided into two types: the so-called internal and external.

The first should include violations in the work of the body itself, caused by a weakened immune system or some kind of disease.

External causes include all those factors that affect the scalp from the outside.

Varieties of dandruff

Dandruff is divided into dry and oily. Determining its type is quite simple.

In the event that after using the shampoo there is a feeling of dryness and itching on the head, as well as white grains, then this is dry dandruff. As a rule, this type of dandruff indicates a metabolic disorder in the body, as well as a violation of the activity of the sebaceous glands of the scalp.

In the event that itching on the scalp worries, and after the hair is washed, it seems unkempt, then such symptoms indicate oily dandruff. On the hair, this type of dandruff is more difficult to notice, but if left untreated, it can cause hair loss.

There are two types of dandruff - oily and dry. The main feature of dry dandruff is reduced level sebum secretion.

Its development can occur with increased dryness of the skin. As a result, small scales appear in the parietal and frontal regions of the head, which easily move away.

This creates the effect of light spraying.

With an increased level of sebum secretion, oily dandruff is formed. The scales in this case are quite large and noticeable.

They stick together, forming "flakes". If left untreated, the scales turn into a fairly dense mass that prevents oxygen from reaching the scalp.

Hair loses its natural luster, becomes very oily, begins to ugly shine.

Finding the cause alone is not always enough: before you treat dandruff, you need to decide on its variety. This is a very important point, because both the principle of treatment and the choice of anti-dandruff agents depend on it.

So, dandruff can be:

• dry (scalp flakes, there is a feeling of tightness);
• oily (first, a greasy sheen appears on the hair, they become greasy, and then dandruff appears).

A simple experiment will help to correctly determine the type of dandruff: wash your hair and after 2-3 days press a napkin or paper towel to your hair. If traces of fat remain on it, then you are dealing with the second type of dandruff.

In any case, if peeling and itching give you significant discomfort, it is better not to experiment, but to immediately consult a doctor, especially if a child has dandruff. He will diagnose and prescribe the right solution.

Dandruff is dry and oily. The first is caused by the fungus Pityrosporum Ovale, which lives in the body of every person.
