The dandruff is a problem that many people will encounter, and the small dandruff is embarrassing and troublesome. Nowadays, there are many kinds of anti-dandruff products on the market: cosmetics and medicines have everything, so how exactly & ldquo; remediation & rdquo; dandruff, can really do “head dandruff to go without trace, hair is more outstanding”?
Causes of dandruff are different
Yang Shuxia, deputy director of dermatology at Peking University First Hospital, reminds that to remove dandruff, we must first understand its causes. According to Yang Shuxia, the cause of dandruff in medical science is still inconclusive, but it is suspected that Malassezia plays a key role in the formation of dandruff.
In addition, some skin diseases can also cause dandruff problems, such as eczema, skin blemishes, and allergies caused by hair dyes and shampoos, which can lead to increased dandruff. Therefore, to eliminate dandruff, symptomatic treatment is needed to eradicate the corresponding diseases.
Simple dandruff optional shampoo
If it is pure dandruff, not caused by skin diseases, etc., you can choose shampoo with anti-dandruff function. Containing selenium sulfide, ZPT (zinc pyrithione), etc., the main function is to inhibit the growth of Malassezia, which can play a role in removing dandruff.
If the amount of dandruff is relatively high, the effect of using dandruff shampoo is not good. You can consider using some medicines to remove dandruff, which can more effectively alleviate dandruff.
It is not advisable to use coal tar to remove dandruff
There are some drugs that can promote the dandruff by inhibiting the proliferation of epidermal cells and promoting the maturation of keratinocytes. In the interview, the reporter found that there is still a suggestion to use coal tar to remove dandruff.
However, Yang Shuxia reminded that considering the long-term large-scale use of coal tar has potential carcinogenic risks, there is no longer any coal tar preparation in the domestic pharmaceutical market. However, it is also possible to choose a salicylic acid preparation, which is a keratin-promoting agent, which also promotes the normal metabolism of the epidermis of the scalp, thereby suppressing dandruff.
If the situation is serious, it has developed to the scalp redness, greasy sputum, and varying degrees of itching discomfort, that is, after seborrheic dermatitis, the effect of using shampoo alone is worse. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital for help, consider the combined use of antifungal drugs and corticosteroid preparations.
Sulphur soap anti-dandruff can not be used
In the market, the reporter also saw that some sulphur soaps are also marked to remove dandruff. Yang Shuxia said that washing hair with sulfur soap has the effect of reducing inflammation and removing oil, which can inhibit the formation of dandruff. However, sulphur soap does not have a nursing function, and it has certain irritation to the skin, which may cause dry skin and hair damage, so it is not possible to use sulphur soap for a long time to eliminate dandruff.
Vitamins are of little value
There are also shampoo products on the market that claim to be able to remove dandruff by supplementing vitamins (also called vitamins). Experts interviewed by the reporter pointed out that vitamins are indeed beneficial to the human body. Vitamins A, B, C, and E can play an antioxidant, inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory role, but have no effect on eliminating dandruff.
There is no radical cure
Malassezia overgrowth is one of the main causes of dandruff, in addition to mental factors, life and diet, etc. Important role. At present, there is no way to completely cure dandruff. In addition to the use of shampoo, pharmacy, etc., experts suggest that people should start from changing lifestyle habits, adjusting physical health and mental state. In fact, people can use dandruff as a pointer to the body’s metabolic status and stress, and if the pressure is not resolved for a long time, it is easy to cause metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, depression and so on.
Therefore, to solve the problem of dandruff, it is necessary to stay up late, keep the law of life as much as possible; adjust the mental state, try to ease the tension and anxiety; eat less spicy food, quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat a balanced diet; Develop good health habits.
In addition, some people think that the more black sesame seeds and walnuts eat, the better the hair. In fact, this is one-sided. For those who have scalp oil spills, these foods will make the scalp more greasy, but will increase the dandruff. . In fact, a balanced diet is more important for maintaining health.
Yang Shuxia reminded that the production of dandruff is affected by many factors. Although it is recognized that Malassezia is the main cause, Malassezia is a normal flora on the surface of human skin, so no matter Whether it is shampoo or medicine, it is difficult to completely remove Malassezia and cure dandruff. Therefore, once shampoo or pharmacy is stopped, dandruff is likely to “return”.
