curd is good for dandruff - #24081

Fatima

I am struggling with dandruff and heard that curd is good for dandruff but honestly I’m pretty confused about it. Like, I used to have a pretty great head of hair until a few months ago when these annoying flakes showed up. I tried shampooing more often, but it’s like no matter what I do, they just keep coming back! My friend told me that curd is good for dandruff and suggested I try it as a remedy, but I'm really skeptical. I mean, how does eating curd help? Or do I have to apply it directly on my scalp? Ugh, sounds messy, right? I just don’t want to walk around with flakes in my hair and now I’m stuck in this cycle of trying out all these products with little success. I saw some natural home remedies online and most of them mention how curd is good for dandruff, like it helps to soothe the scalp and all that jazz, but I haven’t had the best luck with natural treatments before. Have any of you actually used curd and seen results? Like, how often should I use it or should it be plain curd? Thanks a bunch for any help!

Doctors' responses

Curd is often mentioned as a home remedy for dandruff, largely due to its soothing properties and potential to moisturize the scalp. The idea is generally to apply plain, unsweetened curd directly to the scalp rather than consuming it. Some believe its probiotics and acidity could help maintain a healthier scalp environment, possibly reducing dandruff flakes. However, evidence supporting curd’s effectiveness against dandruff is mostly anecdotal and lacks robust scientific backing. If you choose to try it, applying it directly to the scalp and leaving it on for about 30 minutes before washing might be a method; you’d do this a couple of times a week. Keep in mind, though, that it can indeed be quite messy, and results can vary greatly among individuals. For dandruff, using specialized over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos that contain active ingredients like zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid or ketoconazole could be more reliable and have a better scientific basis for efficacy. If you haven’t tried these, they might be worthwhile. Ensure you use the shampoo consistently for several weeks to see results. Also, be aware of red-flag symptoms like itching, redness, or pain that could suggest a more serious underlying condition like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. In case the problem persists or worsens, seeing a dermatologist is advisable for a tailored treatment plan.
