Reasons for

Reasons for the appearance of seborrhea are many, allare associated with a violation of the hormonal background. It is not uncommon for adolescents to suffer from seborrhoea during puberty. In some adults, the disease is chronic.

Possible causes of seborrhea:

1. stress;
2. chronic fatigue;
3. surplus of sweet, salty, sharp foods in the diet;
4. unbalanced power;
5. indigestion;
6. non-observance of personal hygiene rules;

9. hereditary factor;
10. disruption of the endocrine glands;
11. diabetes mellitus;
12. destructive influence of the environment;
13. weakened immunity.

In violation of the barrier and secretory functions of the skin, the body can not cope with the growth of pathogenic fungal microflora inhabiting the stratum corneum of the skin where the secretion of sebaceous glands is excessive, the microbes actively multiply and cause scaling of the scalp.

Severe seborrhea can cause red patches on the skin or even crusts with spotting. In parallel, the disease can manifest itself in other areas of the face, the body - on:

1. eyebrows,
2. wings of the nose,
3. next to the auricles,
4. neck,
5. decollete area.

Seborrhea is not contagious, does not pose a danger to others, is not transmitted from sick to healthy people in all known ways of transmission of infections.

Seborrhea and dandruff: home treatment

A patient with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis should understand that this condition refers to long-term diseases with periods of exacerbations and remissions. Patients with a diet with restriction of animal fats, fried, spicy and sweet foods are recommended. It is not recommended to drink coffee, beer and other alcoholic beverages. All these products can increase sebum and aggravate seborrhea manifestations.

In case of exacerbation, which is expressed by more intensive dandruff formation, it is contraindicated to visit the bath, hot and humid microclimate in the room. In the period of remission, proper care of the scalp is very important. It is necessary to choose shampoos, conditioners and tonics in accordance with the type of hair, taking into account the fatness of the skin and hair rods, their length, thickness, coloring factors, chemical wave.

Medicinal additives for shampoos, balms and tonics are divided into separate groups: keratolytic, cytostatics, corticosteroids, antifungal, antipruritic and anti-inflammatory agents. Corticosteroids are usually prescribed for seborrhoeic eczema and severe forms of seborrheic dermatitis.

It is advisable to use soft shampoos that maintain a constant level of acidity of the skin, provide a cleaning and gentle degreasing effect.

Pyroctonolamine( Octopyrox), Climbazole, Ketoconazole and others are used from antifungal agents.

In addition to the antifungal effect, pyroctonolamine has a bactericidal effect and prevents the attachment of microbial flora to the process. This is especially important when combing the skin, when it becomes possible to infect the skin. In addition, the drug reduces peeling, itchy itching and irritation of the scalp.

Zirric pyrithione, unlike Pyroxenolamine, is a practically water-insoluble compound, therefore, when it is used, it is not possible to obtain transparent shampoos, in addition, it is incompatible with some cationic surfactants. It is better for creams, lotions, gels. Based on it, therapeutic suspensions are prepared, which must be mixed before use. Has an antifungal effect and the ability to reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands.

The advantage of Klimbazol( Krinipan) is that it has antifungal activity, but at the same time it does not adversely affect the normal microflora of the scalp. The cosmetic products are stable over a wide pH range, suitable for transparent products.

In the anti-dandruff remedies, correction agents for fat release are added, for example sulfur preparations, which also reduce inflammation.

Selenium sulphide improves the renewal of epidermal cells and inhibits the process of lipid( fat) cleavage;tar reduces the synthesis of lipids, inhibits the proliferation of epidermal cells;salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory and exfoliating( keratolytic) effect.

For mild manifestations, seborrhea is prescribed to wash with warm soapy water, degreasing and disinfecting agents( salicylic and boric acids, resorcinol, sulfur) in the form of alcoholic and aqueous solutions, powders and suspensions.

Ultraviolet irradiation and heliotherapy are useful.

In severe forms, surgical removal of the gums, opening and removal of their capsules, steam baths, paraffin applications, and massage are indicated.

General therapy depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and consists of the appointment of sedatives, calcium preparations, hormonal drugs( estrogens inside, parenterally or externally, vitamins A( 100,000-150,000 units), C and group B.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic disease that if formed in humans, it will accompany it all life. But, if we know the reasons for the emergence and how to deal with them, then we can introduce this process into remission, and the disease will not bother the person.

Causes of seborrheic dermatitis:

1. endocrine disorders - diseases of the thyroid gland, pelvic organs in women, menstrual disorder,
2. gastrointestinal tract, chronic gastritis, gastroduodenitis, peptic ulcer.

It can be stressful situations in a person's life, even stresses at work.

As a result, a person develops an increased amount of sebum produced by a changed chemical composition, which leads to a change in the PH of the scalp and the reproduction of fungi that normally live on the skin, leading to inflammation. Skin fat forms a skin-lipid mantle, which has bactericidal, antifungal properties.

When the work of the sebaceous gland changes, it is produced fat, which loses these properties, and the fungi acquire the property of pathogenic, and not their own saprophytes, and actively multiplying fungi give an inflammatory process.
