How to reduce the dandruff from the hair - #10675

Kiran

I have dandruff in, which is more like big white patches,I try to use coconut oil lemon and head and shoulder shampoo to treat it, the thing worked for few times but now it is not at all working. Mey hair is getting drier day by day. The urge to scratch is too much. Most of the times I also get the red colored dandruff like stuff, which is attached to the scalp. The possible reasons could be the hot water bath, chlorine water for shower. Not oiling hair regularly

The symptoms you’re describing may be suggestive of quite a common condition known as seborrheic dermatitis, characterized by scaly, white or yellowish patches commonly found on the scalp. While dandruff is often related to harmless yeast overgrowth, recurrent or severe conditions like yours may need more targeted interventions. First, check the type of shampoo you’re using; those containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione are typically more effective against dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Consider switching up your routine; alternating between these shampoos and moisturizing options can help in reducing dryness. Once or twice a week, leaving the medicated shampoo in your hair for 5-10 minutes before rinsing may increase its effectiveness. Hot water can actually exacerbate the problem by stripping your scalp and hair of natural oils—try using lukewarm water instead. Also, though coconut oil has anti-fungal properties, ensure not to overdo it, as too much oil might clog pores. Pay attention to your diet, which can also influence dandruff. A balanced intake of fatty acids, and vitamins such as B6 and B12, alongside stress management techniques, may contribute to skin health. However, if after these adjustments the condition persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist; sometimes conditions like psoriasis or eczema may mimic dandruff and require prescription treatments. Don’t scratch, as it can create open sores and lead to infections. If you find red patches stubborn or worsening, it’s crucial to get a proper evaluation. Allergies or chemical sensitivities could also be playing a part so consider the bath products and detergents you’re using.
