Have you noticed an increase in the number of flaky skin falling off your head and land on your shirt? If the answer is yes, you may be suffering from Seborrhea or dandruff.
What is Seborrhea? It is a non-contagious skin disease that causes oiliness without redness or scaling.
It is commonly found in babies where it is more commonly known as cradle cap.
A severe form of Seborrhea is Seborrheic Dermatitis.
Seborrheic Dermatitis and Hair Loss Excessive production of sebum has been researched and concluded by some scientists as a possible link to hair loss.
The overproduction of sebum clogs pores and lead to the inability of new hair growth.
Common treatments include the use of special shampoos that contain selenium sulfide or salicylic acid.
If the condition is left untreated, it may lead to hair loss.
Group that may get this condition This condition affects mostly the male population.
It usually affects older people who are bed ridden.
However this condition cannot be cured.
Proper hygiene and care can help to control the symptoms from occurring again.
If you have tried many over the counter treatments and see no improvement, it may be time for you to seek a doctor's professional advice.
If the condition worsens and you start to notice more strands falling off your head, you may want to seek professional help or to supplement with a hair loss treatment product.
One caution note, hair re-growth needs time and be patient to wait for the follicles to get back in order before production!
