Treatment of Dandruff and Itchy Scalp in "ON Clinic Odessa"

Itching scalp causes a person to feel constant discomfort, disturbs sleep and usual lifestyle. The obsessive desire to scratch results in micro-traumas: scratches, sores, and scabs, which can be infected and cause inflammation. Dangers of itching, hair loss and dandruff are often underestimated and peoply try to treat themselves without a doctor, for example, with the help of special shampoos and balms. However, they often have only a temporary effect.

You can completely get rid of dandruff only with the help of a trichologist. Hair reflects the general condition of the whole body. If hair is weakened, it loses lively brilliance and strength. This is the first signal about the lack of vitamins, increased stress, malnutrition or systemic disease. In this case, it is important to consult a specialist as soon as possible and find out the cause of hair weakening.

If a patient has severe dandruff, there may be several reasons:

  • Fungus

  • Allergy

  • Dry scalp, etc.

Symptoms of dandruff depend on its type: if hair is greasy, large yellowish "flakes" with oily shine appear. If it is dry, there are a lot of white scales. Often the disease is accompanied by itching and irritation of the scalp, which can decrease after hygiene procedures.

The danger is seborrheic dermatitis. It is a chronic inflammation that affects the sebaceous glands. It is caused by yeast-like fungus, and the disease is accompanied by skin peeling with the formation of a scabs.

The causes of itchy scalp may be different:

  • Reaction to the change of cosmetics

  • Hormonal imbalance

  • Skin trauma (for example, at a hairdresser's or from a hairpin)

  • Improper diet

  • Unfavorable ecology

  • Vitamin deficiency

  • Constant stress.

Therefore, in order to eliminate it and effectively treat hair, it is necessary to define the exact cause and choose effective treatment methods.

Causes of dandruff and itchy scalp

A trichologist prescribes therapy based on the causes of itchy scalp. Most often they are:

  • Dry skin. Insufficient sebaceous gland function causes a feeling of tightness and burning, the upper layer of the skin cracks, begins to peel and there is a lot of dandruff. The situation gets worse because of frequent use of a hair dryer or choice of wrong cosmetics. This itch is treated: the specialist prescribes medicines, which regulate sebaceous gland function.

  • Allergic reactions. Allergies can be contact (unsuitable shampoo) or alimentary (itching occurs after eating some products). A therapy program usually consists in finding the allergen and eliminating it. Usually, patients with sensitive skin encounter this disease so it is especially important for them to choose the hair care items.

  • Fungi and dermatitis. Often, itchy scalp and hair loss are caused by fungal dermatitis. It is a severe disease requiring complex therapy. Symptomatic treatment can bring temporary improvement (for example, relieve irritation) but only eliminating the cause allows the patient to forget about the disease.

After restoration of health and beauty of hair, simple prevention is necessary. It includes a balanced diet, healthy lifestyle, normal sleep, moderate physical activity. It is recommended to reduce the level of stress, monitor the hormonal background, and strengthen immunity.
