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 overactive sebaceous glands, hormonal changes, improper diet or even the use of aggressive hair care products.
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, because such activities can stimulate the sebaceous glands to increase sebum production. A properly balanced diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, healthy fats and the right amount of water can help regulate the sebaceous glands.
In case of difficulties in controlling the problem, it is worth consulting a trichologist. A specialist can recommend more targeted treatment, such as appropriate home and office care. Every body is different, so it is worth experimenting with different methods to find the best solution for yourself.
