I HAVE DANDRUFF...UFFFFFFF!!!!!!!

 I HAVE DANDRUFF...UFFFFFFF!!!!!!!

📍Why am I getting dandruff??

Dandruff can be caused by excessive sebum secretion on the scalp, fungal infections, or an overly dry scalp. 


📍How can I control dandruff?

To control dandruff, use medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole 2% or cyclopiroxolamine, and ensure the quality of hair cosmetics and treatments before use.


📍Are you sure that it is dandruff??

It's important to distinguish between dandruff and scalp psoriasis, as they present similarly but require different treatments. Scalp psoriasis is managed with keratolytics and steroids, not typical anti-dandruff shampoos.


📍How is scalp psoriasis diagnosed?

To determine if it's scalp psoriasis, look for very thick, flaky white areas on localized parts of the scalp, scales that extend beyond the hairline, skin lesions of psoriasis, and no response to medicated shampoos.


📍How frequently do I need to wash my hair??

The frequency of hair washing varies:

- If not exposed to pollutants, wash 3 times a week.

- If exposed to pollutants, daily washing is acceptable.

- If you don't sweat much, wash 3 times a week.

- If you sweat a lot, daily washing is acceptable.


📍How to use a medicated shampoo??

- Apply directly without mixing with water.

- Leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.

- Shampoo 3 times a week for severe dandruff, twice a week for moderate, and once a week for mild dandruff
