Causes And Treatments For Itchy Flaky Scalp

An itchy flaky scalp can result from more than one cause.  Dandruff is caused in some instance through family history.  Dandruff is thought to be hereditary in some cases.  Other times it can be caused by two much sugar, salt and alcohol intake, as well as stress and climatic changes.  The lack of Vitamin B in the diet is also suggested.

These flakes have been attributed to Seborrhoeic Eczema.  This severe condition can cause inflammation in the affected area.  Seborrhoeic Eczema can affect parts of the upper body such as the eyebrows, face, and ears.  Both dandruff and Seborrhoeic Eczema can be treated by the type of shampoo which work against fungus.  Use this treatment just a few times during the week for best results.  For severe Seborrhoeic Eczema treatment a steroid lotion or a mousse can be useful.

Somewhere along the way, people have drummed up that the reason for dandruff that people don’t wash their hair enough.  That isn’t true and neither is the myth that it only occurs in only those who have dark hair.  Be sure that you get ample amounts of Vitamin E, B 6, and B 12, as well as zinc, selenium, and flax oil seed.

An itch scalp can be caused by a build-up of products used to groom the hair.  These products can cause irritation to the scalp.  Hair sheen products such a silicone, which is sold as a dandruff shampoo, or a conditioner, can be a contributor as well.  Pollutants and toxins can also cause an itchy flaky scalp to develop.  These flakes are not only itchy, they are embarrassing.

These little white flakes that land on your shirt or blouse (especially black in color) can affect many people in a negative way such as causing self-esteem problems and social problems.

To treat this condidtion use Nizoral Shampoo which contains Ketoconazole used to treat both dandruff and Seborrhoeic Eczema.  It is obtained through prescription.

Ginger is a spice which can be made into a solution to treat a dry itchy scalp condition.  Squeeze one or two teaspoons of ginger juice from approximately two grated ginger roots.  Mix it with three teaspoons of sesame oil and one half teaspoon of lemon juice.  Apply the solution by rubbing it into the scalp three times weekly.  This treatment sounds safe enough and hopefully will be an effective treatment.
