can curd remove dandruff - #22661

Karthik

I am struggling with this awful dandruff issue and I'm honestly getting kinda desperate. My scalp has been super flaky for the past few months, and I've tried all sorts of shampoos — even some those that are medicated but still not much luck. Then I heard a friend mention that curd might help? Like, can curd remove dandruff? It sounds a bit odd but I mean, it’s a natural thing, right? I’ve applied it a few times, and honestly, my scalp felt really nice and fresh afterward, but the flakes are still there. It's like I’m in this circle of trying to find a solution but not knowing if I’m doing the right thing. I’ve also read online that lactic acid in curd can help with exfoliating the scalp. Does anyone know if that actually works or if I need to keep looking for something else? I mean, I want to believe in the curd miracle but I don't wanna waste more time if it's not gonna do anything. Can curd remove dandruff for real, or is it just one of those myths? Any insights would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

Curd has been touted in various home remedies for dandruff, largely because its natural lactic acid content may help exfoliate the scalp and soothe any irritation. While curd might provide a temporary feeling of relief or freshness, there’s limited scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness in actually treating or removing dandruff in the long-term. Dandruff is often caused by a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia which thrives on the oils in your scalp. Curd might offer some mild benefits by hydrating the scalp and loosening the flakes physically, but it doesn’t possess antifungal properties strong enough to eradicate the underlying issues related to this fungus. To address persistent dandruff, over-the-counter shampoos containing active ingredients like zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, or salicylic acid are often recommended. If these options haven’t helped, you might want to consult with a dermatologist who can provide a prescription-strength medicated shampoo or explore other treatment options based on your specific scalp condition. It’s also crucial to maintain a balanced diet and manage stress as these can sometimes exacerbate scalp issues. While curd applications might not be harmful and can be continued for soothing benefits, it’s generally best to pair such home remedies with scientifically backed treatments for tackling dandruff seriously. If you notice any redness or worsening of symptoms, it would be prudent to seek professional medical advice to rule out conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, which can resemble dandruff but require different management strategies.
