DANDRUFF AND HOMEOPATHY
Dandruff is an inflammatory skin condition, causing flaky white or yellow scales. It is also medically termed as seborrheic dermatitis of unknown cause. Oily skin is often associated with this problem. Many people have this problem, which is marked by itching and excessive flaking of the scalp. It is not contagious, rarely serious and it can usually be controlled.
Overgrowth of skin cells that make up the scalp may cause dandruff. It is not known what accelerates this cell growth. That dandruff may be a hypersensitive reaction to the proliferation of pityrosporum ovale, yeast that occurs naturally on the scalp. Another theory that held for some time linked dandruff to a new fungus, Malassezia, that seems to exist in overabundance on the scalps of these affected with the disease. Dandruff causes have been attributed to dry skin, oily skin, shampooing too often or not often enough. Use of too many chemical hair products(e.g., hair sprays, gels).
