One thing we get asked regularly here at XMA Skin Therapy is what can you do for my dry scalp.
Dry and itchy scalp comes under many names including eczema, dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and many more. Bust basically they are all names for what appears as reddening of the skin, irritation and scaling that appears as below.
Dandruff affects approximately 50% of the population in some mild to severe form. Dandruff Seborrheic dermatitis, a more severe form of dandruff is a chronic skin condition that affects the scalp. Dandruff manifests itself as dry skin, flakiness, itchiness and oily skin. Shedding of the skin is natural. Most people shed a layer of skin per month. People who suffer from dandruff shed their skin much faster and the result is a noticeable amount of flakiness.
Eczema Scalp can be painful, irritating and downright embarrassing. So what can you do about it?
Avoiding chemicals is a great start, so try a shampoo and conditioner that is natural and most importantly, SLS Free. Try not to cover your head as sweat and moisture can also exaggerate the condition. XMA Skin Therapy can also be rubbed straight into the scalp and left overnight to soak in.
