Seborrhea - a disease of hair and scalp. The disease is associated with impaired function of the sebaceous glands. As is known, sebum is very important for the health of the epidermis: it moisturizes, softens, protects and exerts an antibacterial effect. If it becomes too much or vice versa, there are symptoms of seborrhea of the scalp. Experts do not strongly disregard them. Otherwise, the fight against the disease will last for many months.
Symptoms of oily skin seborrhea
The causes of the ailment can be different, ranging from a hereditary predisposition to psychological factors. Very often, it leads to neuroendocrine disorders - in particular, vegetative dystonia.
There are three main forms of the disease: oily, dry and mixed. As practice shows, experts often have to deal with signs of oily seborrhea of the scalp more often than usual.
The disease is quite unpleasant - the sebum begins to be produced very intensively, because of what the head gets dirty much faster. In addition, large fatty flakes of dandruff form on the hair, which are fairly easily removed. If the flakes are not eliminated on time, they join together into large fatty lumps.
Often, the above described symptoms of seborrhea of the scalp is accompanied by severe itching. At many patients on a background of disease begin to drop out hair extensively. Sometimes even there is focal alopecia .
Symptoms of dry seborrhea of the scalp
Dry seborrhea occurs infrequently. Due to the fact that sebum is not produced enough, the epidermis dries up, begins to flake off, and cracks form on it.
The main signs of dry seborrhea of the scalp are usually:
- Formation of dandruff . Scales may be yellowish, grayish or white
colors. They easily exfoliate from the skin and easily fall apart by themselves. - Obligatory symptom of the disease is an unbearable itch. And because of the dryness of the skin, the wounds formed on the site of combs, heal very long.
- Another sign of dry seborrhea is a sharp deterioration in the condition of the hair. And this is a perfectly logical explanation: a dense layer of dandruff simply does not let the nutrients pass to the hair follicles.
Restore the work of the sebaceous glands quickly, in order to prevent infection with fungi and prevent the activation of the vital activity of pathogenic bacteria.
