Treatment of dandruff and itching of the scalp in Cherkasy

Dandruff is a mild clinical form of seborrheic dermatitis, accompanied by peeling of the skin on the scalp. Dandruff arises due to dysfunction of the sebaceous glands or Malassezia Furfur fungus, an important factor in the development of pathology is the individual features of the structure of the skin (hereditary predisposition).

Specialists trichologists distinguish two types of dandruff:

• oily dandruff caused by hyperfunction of the sebaceous glands;
• dry dandruff caused by lack of sebum production.

The manifestation of clinical symptoms directly depends on the type of ailment. Thus, the presence of oily dandruff is accompanied by the presence of inflammation of the scalp and an increase in the layers of the epidermis cells, when dry seborrhea causes flaking and burning of the scalp, and the hair becomes thinner and becomes prone to breakage. The occurrence of dry dandruff is often associated with the pathological activity of the fungus due to reduced immunity, hormonal disruption or stress.
