Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dandruff, characterized by white flakes and itchy scalp, is a common scalp condition. This book explores its causes, treatments, and the role of natural remedies. Dandruff arises from factors like seborrheic dermatitis, dry scalp, and fungal overgrowth. It affects all ages but is most common in adults (20-50) and more prevalent in men. Symptoms include white/gray flakes, itching, redness, and greasy patches. Consulting a dermatologist helps distinguish dandruff from other conditions like psoriasis or eczema. Diagnosis involves a scalp exam and medical history review. Several over-the-counter shampoos containing zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, or salicylic acid can effectively treat dandruff. For severe cases, dermatologists may prescribe corticosteroids or stronger antifungals. Phototherapy or medicated scalp treatments may be recommended for persistent dandruff. Essential oils like tea tree and coconut oil offer antifungal and moisturizing benefits. Maintaining a healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamins B & D is crucial. Stress management, good scalp hygiene (gentle shampoo, thorough rinsing), and identifying personal triggers (harsh products, stress) are essential.
