Dandruff treatment?

Question

How to make sure that it is dandruff? i am tired of using shampoos. i have tried all.

Answer 1

You need to make sure that it is dandruff.
Most of us begin using anti-dandruff shampoos, when we see white oily flakes falling from our scalp as we scratch the itchy scalp. It is always recommended to get the diagnosis done by a doctor in the beginning. You might be mistaking something else for dandruff. Seborrhoeic dermatitis may look like that. Psoriasis patients have similar signs on their scalp. Very dry skin can cause lot of itching. Contact dermatitis or allergic dermatitis can cause symptoms similar to dandruff. It is always better to find out that you have dandruff and not something else.

Answer 2

The appearance of flakes can be reduced, especially in those who suffer from only a mild case of dandruff, by proper hair care. Some people mistakenly avoid washing their hair, believing that the drying effect of shampoo will worsen their dandruff. By washing the hair regularly, however, dead skin is in fact removed before it can build up into larger, more noticeable flakes. Using acid-based shampoos helps restore acidity to the scalp, breaking down oils and preventing dead skin cells from collecting into visible clumps. However, shampoos with milder medication, or shampoos that are not marked to treat seborrheic dermatitis, may have little to no effect on redness and irritation.

Ya, I've got it too :P Try massaging white vinegar, or sour milk (i think it was milk...) before you wash it, i heard that helps - also try aloe vera on the scalp before showering, and comb through your hair before washing it because it loosens the flakes, and clears them out easier. Make sure to brush your hair, because it can be because your scalps not getting enough circulation. You can also alternate hot and cold water on your head to increase circulation. Some shampoos cause it too, like the ones for oily hair. Get lots of vitamin B in your diet. Try adding some tea tree oil to some shampoo to help heal your scalp. Watch out for hair dryers, which can be another reason for dandruff. Right, and an old country remedy is rubbing half an onion on your scalp. It's high in sulfur, so it's supposed to be affective. Well, I hope there's something useful in there for you, lol

Answer 5

There are many hair-salons in which you can test your hair-root. Maybe it's some kind of a disorder. When you get your results, they will tell you what it is, and give you the right treatment. I don't know what shampoos you have been using, but I've tried out Head and Shoulders (it's great) and T-Gel (even better.)

Answer 7

to find out ifit is dandruff or something else you have to go to a dermatologist. it can be a skin disorder called psoriasis, which is a build up of excess skin which causes flakes.

Answer 8

Addicted to yahoo answers...how is that when you appear to be new. Have you been suspended under other usernames before or something.

You need to moisturize your scalp after you shampoo. Conditioning would also help.

Answer 9

Call at a dermatologist. Latest theory is that it is associated with the general emotional state, if you're nervous and agitated then it flares up.
