Peeling of the scalp is an unpleasant symptom that creates a hardly removable aesthetic problem: scales of the skin are visible to the naked eye and showered on clothes, which creates an unattractive appearance. To get rid of this symptom it is possible, but it takes time and diligence: in the shortest time it is impossible to remove the peeling, however with proper treatment the problem is eliminated for at least 2 weeks.
Symptoms
Scaling of the scalp is often accompanied by a single symptom - the formation of large scales in a short time. Washing your head does not get rid of them: after a couple of hours new scales are formed in large quantities. Sometimes the peeling is accompanied by itching - in this case, the presence of a fungus, which is detected and determined in the laboratory, can be called into question.
Causes of scalp peeling
There are three reasons for the appearance of peeling:
- Dry skin, caused by frequent washing with a tool that aggressively affects the skin.
- Allergic reaction to cosmetics for hair styling and washing. In this case, there is not only peeling of the scalp, but also itching.
- Dandruff caused by fungus. Most often, this disease is accompanied by the formation of small scales, but in rare cases, they can be large, which makes dandruff for normal peeling.
- Also, skin peeling occurs when there is a lack of vitamins and microelements in the body.
Scaling of the scalp - treatment
Today, there are various means that help get rid of peeling of the scalp. However, in the treatment it is very important to determine the cause and eliminate it, otherwise the peeling will occur again, regardless of how effective the means are.
Pharmacy products
From a strong peeling scalp helps a simple remedy sulsen: it can be in the form of a paste, shampoo and ointment. Ointment is considered to be the most effective because it has a lasting effect. Along with this, the main disadvantage of sulcene ointment is a fat base, which is difficult to wash off. In addition, with its daily use, you need to constantly wash your hair, which can adversely affect the hair condition. The best option in this case is shampoo.
In addition to external influence, the problem must be solved from the inside, taking multivitamin complexes. Taking a separate selection of vitamins for skin and hair is not recommended, because there is no specific answer to the question of exactly what substance is missing in the body.
Sulcene shampoo can be alternated with a shampoo that has a neutral pH, so as not to become addictive. As such a tool any pharmacy means, since for its manufacture special ingredients are not used.
If the cause of the problem is a fungus that causes dandruff, then in this case you need special tools that oppress its spread: for example, shampoo Nizoral. It contains ketoconazole, which is more effective than zinc pyrithione. The cell division of selenium disulphide and tar are slowed down, so shampoos with the content of these substances can also be given special attention and included in the hair care program.
When vitamin deficiency is indicated, multivitamin complexes are used.
Folk remedies
To get rid of dandruff with the help of home remedies, use a mask from skin peeling with olive oil (5 tablespoons) and lemon juice (1 tablespoon). The mixture of ingredients is applied to the scalp for 20 minutes, and then rinsed hair with a decoction of nettle and washed with neutral shampoo.
Also, against the peeling of the scalp and strengthening the hair, onion masks are used: it is necessary to rub the crushed onion into the scalp and then wash it off after 1 hour.
The most effective option in the fight against this problem will be the use of pharmacy and home remedies.
