Dandruff (Dermatitis)

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

Overview

Dandruff is a scaly skin condition of the scalp. It is an increasingly common scalp condition (it affects up to 42% of the human population worldwide). However, it is relatively harmless, except for its role in hair loss and acne (pimples). Studies shows that dandruff can alter the hair cycle, cause hair loss. While this disorder is referred to as dandruff in adolescents and adults, in adolescents, it is called cradle cap. Dandruff is not a disease of its own, as it is never life-threatening. However, the white, itchy, scaly flakes that it causes are not only irritating but also somewhat emotionally distressing. Dandruff can have harmful effects on one’s emotions, self-confidence, personal attractiveness and, by extension, social life. Individuals with a dandruff problem are found to be less attractive by the opposite sex.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a serious form of dandruff. It is an inflammatory skin disorder that affects the scalp, face and some other parts of the body. Generally, it causes a flaky, scaly, and itchy scalp. Listed below are some of the symptoms:

Greasy, scaly and white (sometimes yellow) flakes that fall from the scalp;
Redness and itching of the scalp;
Dusty, white flakes falling from the head to the shoulder, etc

Treatment

Homoeopathy offers effective treatment for Seborrhoeic dermatitis at all stages. A prospective observational study at the Charite University Medical Centre in 2008 exhibited a significant reduction in the severity of Seborrhoeic dermatitis in patients receiving homoeopathic treatment for Seborrhoeic dermatitis. Patients have been able to minimize their reliance on conventional treatment when treated with homoeopathic medicines. Besides, the results are long-lasting, with a negligible risk of recurrence. Cases of Seborrhoeic dermatitis, particularly those treated at an early stage, show much better results. However, individuals at advanced stages of the disorder often respond very well to homoeopathic treatment, although this requires time.
