Seborrhea and excessive oiliness of the scalp
Seborrhea and excessive oiliness of the scalp are dermatological problems that affect many people around the world. Seborrhea, commonly known as dandruff, is a condition in which the scalp begins to flake off in the form of white, dry flakes that can be visible on the hair and clothes. Excessive oiliness of the scalp, on the other hand, is manifested by excessive sebum secretion, which leads to rapid oiliness of the hair and the formation of a greasy film on the scalp.
Description of the problem
The causes of these problems can be varied. Seborrhea is often the result of excessive sebum production and the presence of a fungus called Malassezia on the scalp. Genetic factors, stress, poor hygiene, diet and improper hair care can also contribute to the occurrence of seborrhea. On the other hand, excessive oiliness of the scalp can be caused by overactivity of the sebaceous glands, hormonal changes, an improper diet or even the use of aggressive hair care products.
Fighting seborrhea and excessive oiliness of the scalp often requires a multi-stage approach. Using specialist anti-dandruff shampoos containing ingredients such as ketoconazole, sulfur or tar can help control excessive flaking of the skin. Additionally, it is important to maintain proper hygiene of the hair and scalp, avoid strong detergents and wash your hair frequently. In the case of excessive oiliness of the scalp, a well-chosen shampoo with properties that regulate sebum secretion can be an effective solution.
It is worth remembering that in the case of difficulties in controlling seborrhea and excessively oily scalp, it is worth consulting a dermatologist, who can recommend appropriate treatment or therapy tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Although these problems can be bothersome and sometimes difficult to combat, there are effective methods to alleviate their symptoms and improve the overall condition of the scalp.
Treatment
Regularly washing your hair with appropriate shampoos, designed specifically for seborrhea and oily scalp is crucial. Avoid hot water when washing and too hot air from the dryer, as such actions can stimulate the sebaceous glands to increase sebum production.
Diet also plays an important role. A balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, healthy fats and an adequate amount of water can help regulate the sebaceous glands.
If you have difficulty controlling the problem, it is worth consulting a trichologist. A specialist can recommend more targeted treatment, such as appropriate home and office care.
Remember that every body is different, so it is worth experimenting with different methods to find the best solution for yourself.
