Dandruff is caused by general skin dirt, which is the continuous peeling of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. It is also the result of metabolism. Dandruff is divided into physiological dandruff and pathological dandruff. Too much dandruff will clog the pores, causing the hair to become weak, making it easy for bacteria to proliferate, and irritate the skin, causing itchy scalp problems. Pathological dandruff refers to inflammation of the scalp caused by bacterial infection, fungal infection, or other physical or chemical damage. Physiological dandruff is generally common in adults as dry dandruff, which is bran-like, grayish-white small flakes scattered among the hair.

The other type is oily dandruff, in which the scalp and hair feel greasy and sticky, and are covered with thick scabs of varying thickness. This condition is particularly common in infants and young children. Causes of Dandruff

In the area where the sebaceous glands are located, there is a microorganism called PITYRO-SPORUMOVALE, a yeast-like fungus that normally coexists peacefully with humans, but some people suddenly lose their resistance to this microorganism. The fungus spores of dandruff can cause excessive sebum secretion and produce dandruff.

Dysfunction of scalp cells The cells of the scalp have a certain metabolic process just like the skin. After the basal cells proliferate, they gradually mature and push outward, and finally the stratum corneum becomes lifeless and falls off. If there is something wrong with this process, the maturation of scalp cells will be incomplete. It will flake off. For example, the elderly, malnourished people, patients undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from psoriasis may suffer from increased dandruff.

If a child at home has dandruff on his head, the first thing to do is to adjust the child's diet. Let the child eat more vegetables and less spicy, sour and cold food. At the same time, do not let him be picky about food. If he is picky about food, you must strictly require him to solve the problem of picky eating fundamentally. Only in this way can the child grow up healthily and happily, and of course there will be no problems in all aspects.
