Anti Dandruff Treatment

Anti Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff is quite a common skin condition that causes flaking on the skin of your scalp. Although it is not a chronic condition and doesn’t get severe in most cases, it is quite embarrassing as skin flakes from your scalp tend to gather on your clothes in the shoulder area. Some individuals also experience dandruff at a specific time in the year such as in summers or winters. Dandruff is also not contagious and it doesn’t cause any long-term harm, but it could be difficult to deal with. 

There is no such specific reason for dandruff to occur and therefore, determining a treatment plan is also hard to come up with. However, you can try managing your dandruff issue by using a mild, moisturizing shampoo. If it doesn’t work, you can visit Skinlattice Gurugram for consultation and a planned anti-dandruff treatment.

Dandruff Symptoms –

• Flaky skin on the scalp
• Skin flakes shedding
• Irritation on scalp
• Moderate hair fall

Causes of Dandruff –

• Naturally extremely oily or dry skin.
• Infestation of a yeast-like fungus named Malassezia. It feeds on the sebum of the scalp.
• Hair Care products containing harmful chemicals that disturb skin’s pH levels and make it either extremely dry or oily.
• Chronic skin conditions such as Psoriasis and Eczema.
• Worsened seborrheic dermatitis.

Anti-Dandruff Treatment at Skinlattice Gurugram –

Dermatologists at Skinlattice Gurugram have successfully handled hundreds of patients with dandruff caused by a variety of reasons. Our dermatologists’ first course of action is to perform a thorough checkup and try and determine the root cause of the condition. If the cause of dandruff is purely natural and it doesn’t cause any harm to your skin, standard skincare products such as shampoo, conditioners, and nourishing can be quite effective. However, we opt for a medication and therapy-related approach in the case of a fungal infestation, psoriasis, or dermatitis. Here’s a list of treatment options that may be quite effective in managing your dandruff. Nonetheless, all these products and therapies must be conducted under strict medical supervision. Take a look!

• Using Pyrithione Zinc shampoos for their antibacterial and antifungal properties
• Tar-based shampoos for slowing down the aging of your skin on the scalp and reduce flaking
• Salicylic acid-based shampoos for eliminating scaling
• Selenium sulfide-based shampoos for their antifungal properties
• Ketoconazole for eliminating Malassezia fungus
• Fluocinolone shampoos for controlling itching, irritation, and flaking

All these products are medicated and deliver satisfactory results, but patients need to understand that once a shampoo has successfully helped them control their dandruff, they should use it less frequently. Such an approach is essential to ensure that the product sustains its efficiency in the long term. You would not want to change medicated products too often.
