What is the reason for the sudden increase in dandruff and how to relieve it?

Some friends feel that they have more dandruff, which may be related to environmental factors such as seasonal temperature, or it may be related to their own living and eating habits. If you want to alleviate such symptoms, you must correct bad habits and use the correct method of protection.

1. Pay attention to scalp hygiene. Wash your hair frequently with warm water, usually once a week, and once every 3 to 4 days if necessary. It is not advisable to use soap with too strong alkaline properties when washing your hair, because alkaline soaps will stimulate the keratinization of scalp epithelial cells and produce dandruff. You can use sulfur soap or shampoo to wash your hair.

2. Comb your hair frequently. Combing your hair 2 to 3 times a day, morning and evening, can promote blood circulation in the scalp, increase nutrition for the hair, promote hair growth, and reduce keratinization of scalp epithelial cells.

3. Quit smoking, drink less alcohol, and avoid eating spicy and fatty foods. When it itches, avoid scratching violently or scraping with sharp objects.

4. Topical medications. You can use thimerosal ointment, the formula of which is 2 grams of thimerosalic acid and 5 grams of sulfur. Or use chloramphenicol tincture, the formula is 1 gram of chloramphenicol, 3 grams of salicylic acid, 5 ml of glycerin, and 75% alcohol added to 100 ml. 5. If necessary, oral medications can be added for auxiliary treatment, such as vitamin B6 10 mg, 3 times a day, thyroxine tablets 0.03-0.06 grams, 1-2 times a day. What are the benefits of combing your hair frequently? From ancient times to the present, people who pay attention to health preservation have attached great importance to combing their hair.

5. Adjusting your lifestyle and avoiding fried, greasy, spicy and other foods can help regulate and protect the scalp's own balance, inhibit the excessive reproduction of Malassezia, and thus reduce the chance of dandruff. In addition, fungi are contagious to a certain extent, so you should maintain good hygiene among yourself and your family members, and use towels, pillowcases, combs and other daily necessities separately.
