What's the matter with the large pieces of dandruff on the scalp?

If you find that you have large patches of dandruff in your daily life, you should pay more attention to it, because it may be due to dysfunction of scalp cells or bacterial infection of sebaceous glands. If you want to alleviate this situation, you might want to try a different shampoo.

The first cause is scalp cell dysfunction: the cells of the scalp also have a certain metabolic process like the skin. After the basal cells proliferate, they gradually mature and push outward, and finally the stratum corneum becomes lifeless and falls off. If there is something wrong with this process, the maturation of scalp cells will be incomplete. It will flake off. For example, the elderly, malnourished people, patients undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from psoriasis may suffer from increased dandruff. The main symptoms are that this type of dandruff appears in large pieces, forming white and gray patches on the scalp with layers of overlapping flaky scales, and even sticking the roots of the hair into clusters.

The second cause of the disease is the influence of Pityrosporum fumigatus: In the areas where sebaceous glands are distributed, there is a microorganism called Pityrosporum fumigatus, a yeast-like fungus that coexists peacefully with humans under normal circumstances, but some people suddenly lose their resistance to this microorganism. The fungus spores of dandruff can cause excessive sebum secretion and produce dandruff.

The appearance of dandruff is closely related to people’s bad living habits. It is recommended that:

The first point is to have a regular lifestyle: Good living habits, including adequate sleep, a happy mood, and more physical exercise, are all beneficial to skin health. In addition, it is also necessary to arrange work and rest reasonably to minimize stress.

The second point is to adopt corresponding eating habits to deal with dandruff: adjust your diet and eat more alkaline foods, such as kelp and seaweed. Drink fresh milk, beans, fruits and other foods that can moisturize the hair regularly; eat more foods that clear away heat and detoxify; and eat less irritating and fried foods.

Third, washing your hair too frequently can also cause an increase in dandruff: Some people think that they can wash away dandruff by washing their hair every day. In fact, excessive hair washing will reduce the thickness of scalp sebum and accelerate the secretion of sebum, which will naturally lead to dry scalp and excessive dandruff. It is best to wash your hair every four to five days. Combs, pillows, and pillowcases should also be kept clean, and it is best not to use each other's combs.
