To treat your scalp condition for example, an itchy scalp, it is easy to get a shampoo for an itchy scalp in combination with other products such as an exfoliating mask for the scalp, or the scalp peeling serum. The most effective way to regain a healthy scalp is to apply the shampoo to the scalp and gently massage it into wet hair. Then let it sit for 2-3 minutes before rinsing it out. After this, you can, for instance, take a moisturizing scalp mask that has a nourishing and exfoliating effect. For a healthy scalp, it is recommended to do this 3-4 times a week.

What is scalp exfoliation 

You have probably seen the term scalp exfoliation pass by. Scalp exfoliation involves physical or chemical exfoliants to remove excess skin cells, oils, a scaly scalp, and dandruff. Many dermatologists maintain that regular scalp exfoliation is the key to a healthy scalp and healthy hair.

The body naturally replaces dead skin cells with new skin cells, but with scalp exfoliation you can help your body to replace these skin cells. The benefits of scalp exfoliation are that it could be soothing and stress-relieving. Exfoliate your scalp twice a week (not too much, not too little), this will have positive effects against a scaly scalp, flaky scalp, dry scalp, and oily hair. 

Scalp psoriasis

Psoriasis is one of the best known chronical skin conditions. That is recognized by a red, itchy, and scaly scalp. Mild scalp psoriasis can pop up as a single patch and can even affect your entire scalp. It can even spread to your forehead, back, neck and behind your ears.

There is no cure for severe scalp psoriasis, there are only treatments such as this dry scalp treatment that combats a few of the symptoms that psoriasis causes. You can’t catch scalp psoriasis from another person and the cause of psoriasis is unknown. Doctors believe that mild scalp psoriasis comes from a fault in your immune system, that causes skin cells to grow too quickly and build up into patches. When scalp psoriasis runs in your family it is possible that your scalp will be more vulnerable, and you are more likely to get scalp psoriasis.

Symptoms of mild scalp psoriasis are that you suffer from a slight scaly scalp. But when you suffer from symptoms that are more moderate to severe scalp psoriasis can include:

  • Itchy scalp with bumps
  • Scale scalp
  • Silvery-white scales
  • Flaky scalp
  • Dry scalp
  • Burning or soreness

 

It is important to treat mild scalp psoriasis and severe scalp psoriasis because the itching can make you eager to scratch or rub. Unfortunately, this scratching of your scalp can cause your hair to start getting loose and fall out. As a result, we recommend using a psoriasis treatment that combats against a dry scalp or this shampoo for an itchy scalp that can help you to get rid of the itching and helps you with developing a healthy scalp. 

Massage scalp for a healthy skin 

Massaging the scalp gently can give a relaxing feeling, and it eases stress and tension. A typical scalp massage uses the fingertips only. But using a scalp massaging device such as a scalp brush can stimulate a healthy scalp even further. A scalp brush stimulates blood flow and overall scalp health by massaging your skin. In addition to this, you can use a shampoo for an itchy scalp to get rid of an itchy scalp and flaky scalp. The scalp brush and shampoo for an itchy scalp work perfectly in combination because the ingredients that fight a flaky scalp and itchy scalp are better absorbed with the scalp brush massaging the skin. 

Dry scalp treatment 

Recognizing a dry scalp isn’t that difficult. A dry scalp is often an itchy scalp sometimes accompanied by dandruff, soreness, and hair loss. A dry scalp can have several different causes, though the most common is a reaction of change in weather. This may be the case, for example, when travelling from a warm region to a cold region by plane. In addition, resin products in your hair care routine can cause your scalp to become dry. Scalp eczema and psoriasis could also be the reason. You can treat a dry scalp with a dry scalp treatment that consists out of essential oils that have benefits for a healthy scalp. 

Flaky scalp treatment 

A flaky scalp treatment is equivalent to a dry scalp treatment. A treatment for a dry scalp can remove flakes, scales, and other impurities from the scalp. Usually, a flaky scalp is related to a yeast infection on scalp. This yeast is called candida and causes scalp inflammation and scalp infections. Candida grows in warm, damp environments.

The scalp has a natural balance of yeast and bacteria. The bacteria help to prevent the overgrowth of yeast on your skin. When your body’s natural balance of yeast and bacteria becomes unbalanced Candida thrives. In some groups of people yeast infection on scalp appears more often. These are groups of people that are pregnant, take antibiotics, receive chemotherapy, eat not healthy or experience a lot of stress. Yeast infection on scalp is more common in people with weakened immune systems. This is due to conditions such as diabetes or usage of medications.

Fortunately, there is a seborrheic dermatitis scalp treatment that acts as an itchy scalp home remedy. If using this seborrheic dermatitis scalp treatment does not work against your scalp dermatitis and you did not get a healthy scalp after long-term use, then it is wise to see your doctor as you may suffer from a severe scalp infection.

  • Neurologic and psychiatric conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease and depression.
  • Medications or recovery from stressful medical conditions, such as a heart attack.
  • Weak immune system, this can be due to HIV/AIDS or cancer 

Difference between scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis

Having a flaky scalp, dry scalp, itchy scalp with bumps or a scaly scalp may be due to scalp dermatitis or psoriasis. The big difference between the two is that Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease. It causes skin cells to grow so quickly that they accumulate on the surface of the skin. Patches of rough, scaly skin can appear anywhere on the body, including the scalp. While scalp dermatitis is a skin condition that causes a rough and scaly scalp. 

Dandruff treatments 

The itching and flaking of dandruff can often be controlled. For mild dandruff, try using a shampoo for an itchy scalp or itchy scalp home remedy to reduce oil and skin cell build-up. You don't just get a moisturized scalp by doing nothing. A scalp mask can help moisturizing your scalp and preventing dandruff from spreading further.

Home remedies to combat dandruff are learning to manage stress, eating a healthy diet, getting more sunlight daily and limited hairstyle products. Other treatments that work against dandruff are anti-dandruff shampoos and a seborrheic dermatitis scalp treatment.

Itchy scalp

Regular washing of the scalp is required to relieve an itchy scalp. An itchy scalp is often due to dandruff. The most common anti-dandruff shampoos contain zinc and other nutrients that help to develop a healthy scalp. When your scalp itches the usual reaction is to scratch or rub. This is exactly what you should not do because it can destroy hair follicles and cause hair loss.

Scalp Folliculitis treatment

Symptoms of folliculitis are a cluster of small bumps and pimples around hair follicles, an itchy scalp, painful skin, and scalp inflammation. The causes of folliculitis bumps on the scalp are through bacteria, commonly Staphylococcus aureus (staph). Scalp eczema, fungi, viruses, parasites and medication can also be the cause of scalp folliculitis. You can decrease the risks of suffering from folliculitis by living healthy, prevent using unnecessary medications, washing your skin, stop causing damage to the hair follicles by shaving, waxing, styling, and wigs. Also, soaking in a hot tub, whirlpool, or public pool can stimulate folliculitis bumps on scalp.
