Doctors’ responses
When dealing with redness and itchiness in the temporal region that’s also associated with dandruff, it could be related to seborrheic dermatitis, which is a common condition linked to dandruff. The irritation you’re experiencing especially after a haircut could be due to sensitivity or irritation of the skin. To address this, begin by using a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo containing active ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione. Use it two to three times a week, making sure to leave the shampoo on your scalp for about 5 minutes before rinsing. This can help reduce both dandruff and the associated inflammation. Additionally, applying a mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to the affected scalp areas can be beneficial for reducing redness and itching, but limit its use to short-term to avoid potential side effects.
In the meantime, avoid hair products that may be irritating, such as those with alcohol or fragrances, and try to resist scratching the itchy areas, as this can worsen the irritation. If symptoms persist or worsen despite initial treatment, it might be worth consulting with a healthcare provider or dermatologist. Conditions like psoriasis or contact dermatitis should be ruled out, especially if the redness spreads or is accompanied by other symptoms like scaling beyond the usual dandruff. Any signs of infection, such as oozing or excessive pain, would warrant more immediate medical evaluation. Finally, since you’ve had dandruff for a long time, make sure to stay consistent with any preventative measures, like regular shampooing and avoiding overly hot showers, as these can exacerbate scalp issues.
