Although dandruff is not a deadly condition, it is feared by both men and women from all walks of life. This is because dandruff affects the way people look at sufferers; thus the sufferers may experience a changed lifestyle and decreased self-esteem all through out their dandruff days. What’s worse is it does not only plague the scalp but also the skin of surrounding areas like the forehead, nape, neck and shoulders.
Studies show that it is caused by both internal body issues and environmental factors. Eating spicy meals is said to cause irritations in the body’s metabolism and so the scalp expends a lot of sebum. The same is the effect of eating foods with saturated fats. Environmental factors like the presence of dust on the scalp can cause this scalp irritation as well. Shampooing hair and scalp with potions made of active ingredients such as salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc, resorcin, ketoconazole, or selenium is recommended by most dermatologists.
