Peeling of the scalp: how to get rid of? Video

Peeling (often accompanied by severe itching) can be caused by psoriasis, as well as various infectious and hormonal diseases.

Doctors believe that in some cases the “culprit” of this unpleasant phenomenon is the Malassezia fungus (also called Piturosporum). It lives on the scalp of most people and often does not remind of itself in any way, therefore it remains unattended for a long time. However, with a decrease in the level of immunity, poor ecology, physical and nervous overwork, the fungus can become active. As a result, the rate of death of scalp cells increases markedly, and dandruff soon appears, followed by flaking of the scalp.

Factors of hereditary predisposition, hormonal imbalance and even improperly selected means for washing the head can also be the reason for the awakening of the activity of the fungus.

In the latter case, it is necessary to empirically select a shampoo that is more suitable for the type of hair and skin. To do this, you can contact a specialist such as a trichologist.

As already mentioned, often peeling of the scalp, especially if it is accompanied by severe itching, is caused by skin or infectious diseases – for example, psoriasis. In these cases, in order to get rid of peeling and itching, you need to consult a dermatologist, and, if necessary, to other specialists, undergo an examination and a course of treatment. Without the right therapy, it will not be possible to get rid of peeling.

The scalp can begin to peel off after sunburn, especially if it was obtained in southern countries, where the climate is much hotter, and there is a lot of very strong ultraviolet radiation in the sun.

Therefore, take it as a rule: while in such places, the head must be covered, best of all with a wide-brimmed straw hat, but another headdress, for example, a baseball cap, a kerchief, will do. Try to observe this rule, at least during those hours when the sun is close to its zenith, that is, during the daytime.

Sometimes peeling is provoked by sudden changes in humidity and temperature, as well as the use of unsuitable cosmetics for hair care – dyes, gels, hair fixing varnishes, etc.

Sometimes the reason for the flaking of the scalp is improperly performed cosmetic procedures, for example, peeling. Therefore, try to pass them only with sufficiently experienced specialists.

You will need:

• egg yolk
• Burr oil
• oat flakes
• shampoo containing salicylic acid salts and sulfur
• Sebulex
• coal tar

This problem is mainly encountered by people who have dry hair and skin. They can be helped by nourishing fatty creams containing various oils. You can rub these creams into the scalp at home, the procedure takes very little time. You can make moisturizers at home, for example, by mixing egg yolk and burdock oil. A mask made from oatmeal can also help.

It is very important to eat right. Indeed, the condition of the human skin directly depends on how useful and diverse the food ration is! Try to ensure that your diet is complete and contains sufficient amounts of easily digestible foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
