Seborrhea of the head and its treatment

Seborrhea - a skin disease caused by a violation of the functionality of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands in this case secrete sebum with altered physical and chemical properties. As a result, antimicrobial properties are reduced and ideal conditions are created for the development of infection. With improper care for the scalp and hair, as well as a number of diseases, there is a disruption of the glands. This imbalance often leads to peeling and dryness or to increased greasiness of hair and skin.

Disease can also be a consequence of a transferred neuroinfection or hereditary. During this period, the head is itchy and hair loss increases, dead skin cells or dandruff appear. Experts consider this disease as the possible cause of hair thinning on the head. The course of the disease can aggravate: contaminated skin, chronic infections, gastrointestinal illness, etc. Seborrhea has three varieties: oily, dry and mixed.

For oily seborrhea is characterized by an excess of sebum, that is, sebaceous glands are hyperactive. In this case, the composition changes in skin fat, and this reduces the protective and other functions. The skin becomes greasy and shiny, the inflammatory process begins. It quickly becomes dirty and thickens, red spots become yellowish in color. The condition of the skin almost immediately affects the hair.

In the scalp of the head there are seborrheic crusts, which are easily combed out in the form of fatty scales of dandruff of yellow hue, hair loss occurs. Oily seborrhea is usually accompanied by itching, dandruff on the hair forms a touch of dirty color. Hair on the head becomes greasy, glued together and glistens glossily. If it is not treated in a timely manner, the disease quickly progresses and can lead to complete loss of hair.

Dry seborrhea occurs with a lack of sebum, the skin loses its natural color, becomes flaky and rough. Skin irritation and frequent itching are the companions of this disease. The hair becomes dry and thin, loses its shine and easily breaks. Hair loss and dandruff in the form of light scales create a certain discomfort. Gradually, this process begins to progress and can lead to the death of hair follicles and subsequent baldness.

Hair loss will be inevitable if you do not tackle such a disease as dry seborrhea. Treatment of it will require increased attention, since there are many reasons that contribute to the emergence of this disease (heredity, obesity, diabetes, etc.). The main reason for the appearance of this type of seborrhea is the fungus, which, falling under the skin, destroys the sebaceous ducts. And this in turn affects the skin's metabolic process.
