Dandruff Treatment in Bangalore

Dandruff is one of the most common scalp conditions that leave the scalp skin dry, itchy, and flaky. It can affect anyone at any point in their lives. This condition is harmless, neither contagious nor life-threatening. However, it can be an annoying, embarrassing condition that can be hard to self-treat but can be best managed and controlled with the help of a dermatologist and dandruff treatment doctor in Bangalore at Charma Clinic.

What are different types of dandruff?

Based on various causes, dandruff is of three types:

Dry or Oily Scalp causing dandruff- Dry dandruff refers to the dry, powdery scales on the scalp caused by dryness of the scalp skin. Typically, it is seasonal, occurs during winters, and may cause mild or temporary hair loss. In contrast, oily dandruff refers to the oily, greasy sebum that comes out of the scalp skin and is mistaken as dandruff. Scalp oiliness does not cause any scalp damage or hair loss. It is caused by not doing regular shampooing. Such kinds of dandruff can be dealt with proper hair care regime.
Scalp infections causing dandruff- This kind of dandruff is also known as seborrheic dermatitis- a skin condition that mainly affects the scalp and causes inflamed skin, scaly patches, and stubborn dandruff. It is caused by the overgrowth of a fungus called Malassezia which normally resides on the scalp and feeds on natural sebum. As there is extra natural oils build up on the scalp, fungus flourishes and causes scalp infection. This infection causes severe dandruff flakes with irritation, itching, and boils. It is only treatable with the help of a dermatologist.
Scalp skin disorders causing dandruff- This type of dandruff is an outcome of skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. This kind of dandruff appears as large skin flakes on the scalp which can fall and spread to the ear, face, nose corners, and even other body parts. It can lead to unhealthy scalp, poor hair growth, hair thinning, and hair loss/balding. This form needs prompt treatment by a dermatologist.

What is the main cause of dandruff?

There are even other causative factors, including:

Use of skin-irritating products on the scalp or allergy-causing hair products
Infrequent hair combing
Stress
Hormones
Age: mostly dandruff affects adolescents and young adults till 50’s
A diet low in essential nutrients like zinc, gamma-linolenic acid, and B vitamins

Dandruff Treatment Options at Charma Clinic

The very first step in treating dandruff is to identify its root cause. For that, an in-depth scalp analysis is carried out. Based on the cause, a treatment plan is created for an individual.

Dandruff Treatment involves a combination approach that works by considering the following factors:

Controlling oiliness of the scalp- Many hair products, medicines, and supplements can help prevent extra sebum production. By reducing oil on the scalp skin, the scalp skin stays healthy and fresh and there are fewer chances of dandruff.
Improving skin hydration- If dandruff is the result of a dry scalp, it is crucial to ensure that scalp skin is properly hydrated. Using hair conditioners and drinking plenty of water can help avoid dandruff caused by dryness.
Soothing inflammation- Mostly dandruff leaves the scalp sore, red, and itchy. There are haircare products available that can help reduce inflammation, and itching, and restore the scalp skin’s normal state.
Treating scalp infection- As per the severity of the infection of the scalp, dermatologists prescribe antifungals.
Selecting the right shampoo- Dermatologists or hair doctors in Bangalore recommend proper pH-balanced shampoos and medicated shampoos that suit an individual’s scalp type and can help maintain a healthy scalp.
