Today, let's take a look at the four standards of healthy scalp, so that hair friends can easily judge where the scalp problem is, kill hair loss and hair loss in the cradle in advance, and avoid the panic caused by simple scalp problems.
Standard 1: No dandruff visible to the naked eye.
Dandruff is a normal metabolic product of the scalp, a secretion product of keratinocytes shed from the scalp, and contains a certain amount of oil. Under normal circumstances, oil can't be seen clearly, but under some stimulation, immature keratinocytes will be produced in large quantities, agglomerate and fall off, forming what we often call dandruff. Therefore, as long as you wash your hair normally for 1-2 days, you can't see dandruff, which is basically normal.
Standard 2: the scalp is relaxed and there is no tension.
Modern people have great pressure in life, nervous, and the scalp is easy to be in a tight state. Scalp tightness generally comes from mental fatigue, lack of sleep, or emotional tension. In short, scalp tension mostly comes from mental stress. As long as the scalp is not tight, pressing the scalp is not particularly sensitive to stimulation.
Standard 3: Not itchy
Scalp itching is also related to dandruff. Scalp itching is caused by the destruction of scalp flora. If left untreated, it will cause imbalance of oil and metabolism, leaving the whole scalp in a state of disorder. Under normal circumstances, the scalp is normal and there is no special itching.
Scalp itching can be treated by using shampoo that regulates scalp oil secretion, such as ketoconazole lotion. Avoid scratching, pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid drinking and avoid spicy food.
Standard 4: Scalp can be kept fresh for a long time.
Many friends will complain that I get greasy just after washing my hair. This is the most typical scalp oily. Only a scalp that can be kept fresh at ordinary times is a healthy scalp.
In addition to the most basic criteria for judging scalp health, what should I do if I encounter common scalp problems?
1, greasy scalp
Some people's scalp oil glands are exuberant, and oily substances are distributed all over the hair roots and the whole scalp. Even if it has just been cleaned, the scalp will become very greasy at the end of the day, and even clog pores and breed bacteria.
In this case, we must first judge what is wrong with the scalp. If the scalp is a little red, folliculitis quickly develops into pustules. If only the scalp is oily and shiny, it is seborrhea.
Suggestion: Get enough sleep, eat less greasy and spicy food and eat more fruits and vegetables. You can use sulfur soap to wash your hair, or use salicylic acid ointment and other drugs according to your doctor's advice, or use ketoconazole lotion to clean your hair.
2, itchy scalp
As I said before, my scalp itches and I can't help scratching. It's actually caused by fungi. If you scratch blindly, it will only further damage the scalp and make a lot of dandruff fall off.
For scalp itching, in addition to cleaning hair with ketoconazole shampoo, you should also eat less spicy and greasy food and avoid alcohol and tobacco, because irritating food will aggravate itching. In addition, it is also important to keep the scalp clean, and try to clean it once every 1-2 days.
3. Too much dandruff
A lot of dandruff appears on the scalp, accompanied by itching, which is pityriasis scalp (dandruff). This is a skin disease caused by Marsalaria. Repeated attacks of dandruff will damage scalp cells for a long time, leading to hair loss.
The local treatment of dandruff is: reducing sebum, sterilizing and diminishing inflammation, removing dandruff and relieving itching. Ketoconazole lotion can be used, initially twice a week. If the effect is not good, you can use it once a day, but the scalp is broken and it is not suitable for people with wounds.
4. Hair loss
Excessive scalp fat overflow is often accompanied by excessive dandruff and greasy scalp, and finally there will be regular hair loss on the top of the head or forehead, which is what we often call seborrheic hair loss. Seborrheic alopecia has certain heredity, and it is difficult to change the final development result of alopecia, but it can delay the development process and appearance time of alopecia.
Suggestion: Quit smoking and drinking to relieve mental stress. Use non-irritating neutral shampoo or weak acid shampoo, and don't overheat the shampoo. The daily diet should be as light as possible, ensure adequate sleep, massage the scalp properly, and ensure sufficient blood supply and oxygen supply to the scalp. At the same time, we should actively cooperate with the treatment. At present, in addition to minoxidil and finasteride, we can also change the hair loss state after hair loss through hair transplantation.
