How Dandruff affects our personality???
Dandruff is hated by everyone. No one loves the falling white flakes and itchy oily scalp. This is becoming the main health and beauty issue and degrade your personality. Many people try many shampoos and treatments to get rid of the problem. No one is sure that is he facing only the dandruff problem. If you are not getting rid of this problem after so many washes, then you may be suffering from something else which can be diagnosed by a doctor. Let us look at some main dandruff causing problems and their factors.
The main problems and factors may be depression, oily skin, dry skin, yeast like fungus that feeds on oils on the scalps of most adults, sensitivity to hair care products (contact dermatitis) and other skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema.
The main cause of dandruff is either at surface level or it is deep into the roots of our skin and related to medical conditions of our body. Science has proved with evidence that when a person is in depression, hormones like dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin are released by our brain which affects our hair growth and scalp areas.
There are many scalp problems that cause itch and produce white flakes. Psoriasis is one of the common problem. Unless you get it diagnosed and take proper medical treatment, it will not go away. Many cosmetic applications may cause allergic and irritated reactions, to your scalp and hair. Another problem commonly called eczema can also appear on the scalp.
In dandruff, what we see as white flakes are white colored skin cells. Our skin reproduce new cells and refresh itself every month. The new cells appear from the bottom of the skin layer and travel to the top in a period of a month, and the dead cells are shed. These cells are so microscopic and small in quantity that we are unable to notice this shedding of cells. In dandruff, this shedding of dead cells increases. That is how these dead cells in combination with skin oils form white flakes that we can see them. If you are not able to get rid of dandruff after trying many shampoos, it is time that you visit a doctor and get the proper diagnosis done. Once you are sure that it is dandruff, you can take proper measures and get a shiny scalp.
