What to do if children have a lot of dandruff

Many mothers have found that children nowadays have a lot of dandruff. My child is no exception. I personally feel that my child has especially much dandruff. At the beginning, I tried many methods but they didn’t work. Now my child’s dandruff problem has been solved. I would like to share the treatment methods for children’s dandruff.

1. Pay attention to scalp hygiene. Wash your hair frequently with warm water, usually once a week, and once every 3 to 4 days if necessary. It is not advisable to use soap with too strong alkaline properties when washing your hair, because alkaline soaps will stimulate the keratinization of scalp epithelial cells and produce dandruff. You can use sulfur soap or shampoo to wash your hair.

2. Comb your hair frequently. Combing your hair 2 to 3 times a day, morning and evening, can promote blood circulation in the scalp, increase nutrition for the hair, promote hair growth, and reduce keratinization of scalp epithelial cells.

3. Quit smoking, drink less alcohol, and avoid eating spicy and fatty foods. When it itches, avoid scratching violently or scraping with sharp objects.

4. Topical medications. You can use thimerosal ointment, the formula of which is 2 grams of thimerosalic acid and 5 grams of sulfur. Or use chloramphenicol tincture, the formula is 1 gram of chloramphenicol, 3 grams of salicylic acid, 5 ml of glycerin, and 75% alcohol added to 100 ml.

5. If necessary, oral medications can be added for auxiliary treatment, such as vitamin B6 10 mg, 3 times a day, thyroxine tablets 0.03-0.06 grams, 1-2 times a day. What are the benefits of combing your hair frequently? From ancient times to the present, people who pay attention to health preservation have attached great importance to combing their hair. There are many records about combing hair in traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of modern medicine, combing your hair is not only good for your beauty, but also has significant medical effects and is one of the ways to maintain brain health.
