What is Dandruff?
We really need to emphasis what dandruff is.
It is not a pretty sight.
I'm sure that you have seen dandruff on other people. You may notice an attractive person and there it is, the ugly white flaky dandruff on their shoulders. Without doubt, their appeal dwindles and you might start looking elsewhere.
Dandruff is a common problem. You are not alone. Never think that you are.
You know the human body is made up of cells that are replaced by new cells when the old ones die. This is a normal phenomenon and the scalp cells follow that rule.
Dandruff is the flaky dead scalp skin deposited on the uppermost layer of the scalp when new cells replace the old ones. The problem arises when the turnover of dead skin exceeds its removal process. Usually the scalp skin is replaced after every 28 days but sometimes it starts shedding quite early. This disturbs the whole cycle and you face the common problem of unmanageable dandruff.
It becomes all the more unbearable when itching and irritation accompanies dandruff. In severe cases where replacement occurs every fourth day, the scalp develops red itchy patches with sticky scales.
Do you know?
While you might think dandruff is a disease in itself, it is not.
While the exact cause of dandruff is still not clear, you may treat it as a special condition of the scalp cells. The most common belief about dandruff is that it is caused by excessive dryness.
You will be surprised to know that dandruff occurs when you have an oily scalp. Another common myth related to dandruff is that it is contagious.
It is a severe skin disorder, not related to hair loss though the two may occur concurrently. So, do not fear growing bald when dandruff strikes you and, as I said before, it is not contagious.
A fungus called Malassezia furfur is believed to cause dandruff. While it is present on all scalps, the problem triggers when its growth crosses the normal limit. Its diet constitutes the oil secreted by hair follicles so the oily scalp acts as a rich ground for its growth. Other problems, similar in character, are psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis but you should not confuse them with dandruff.
You should avoid scratching the affected area as it may aggravate the problem of rashes further. A break in the skin may make it more prone to staph and strep bacteria attacks.
Malassezia is a fungus attracted to oily skin. It causes itching and redness of the skin under severe conditions. Sometimes, it also occurs on the eyebrows, ears and eyelids. The natural renewal process of epidermal cells gets disturbed and it starts to grow too rapidly on the scalp. While dandruff mainly targets people between 12 and 80 years old, it also occurs in infants. It is called the cradle cap in infants and you also need to pay attention to your baby’s scalp.
Cradle cap is extremely common in babies, and you need to keep their scalp clean. I put vitamin E oil on my sons' heads and cleaned them carefully and thoroughly. Dandruff seldom came back after a vitamin E treatment.
A common problem but uncommon response
It is not surprising to find that 97% of Americans suffer from dandruff at some time. One out of every two persons in the world is struck by it. Though it is not a new problem, it is worth noticing the psychological impact it has. Studies reveal that increased consciousness concerning looks is making people more worried regarding dandruff now.
Interesting research by D’Silva reveals that 28 percent of females and 32 percent of males would abstain from sharing a comb with a person having dandruff because they think that dandruff is a contagious disease. His study further revealed that men and women feel less attracted towards a person who has dandruff . Around 80 percent of them would not like to touch dandruff stricken hair.
It is true that a dandruff carrying head produces an unclean look, yet it is not related to an unhygienic lifestyle. Until the most accurate cause of dandruff is found, the best way to deal with it is to shampoo your hair regularly with an anti-dandruff shampoo.
Try to keep your head free from oiliness. Regular care is the only way to ward off dandruff to save you from embarrassment. Since dandruff is a natural phenomenon, you cannot eliminate it, only get it under control. Shampoos containing zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfides etc. are effective in controlling dandruff. Many reputable brands have anti-dandruff shampoos. Choose the one that goes best with your skin type and gives your hair the bouncy feel that you had before you were struck by the problem of unwanted dandruff.
This ebook is going to give you many remedies that you can test, and we are also going to discuss the body and health from the inside too. When people have skin eruptions, oily scalps and even dry patches of skin, there is more than likely a cause that is not just skin deep but probably due to the general health of your own body.
