Causes of Dandruff

Too much dandruff causes great trouble to people's lives, so in our daily lives, we must learn more about the causes of dandruff. After finding the causes, we can prescribe the right medicine and find reasonable ways to help us remove excess dandruff from our body. Let’s take a look at the causes of dandruff.

The reason for excessive dandruff is actually serious pathological changes in the cell metabolism on the scalp, which leads to the increase of dandruff. However, many reasons for excessive dandruff are easily overlooked, but this situation is something that makes people worry. Excessive dandruff all day long not only endangers people’s normal life, but also affects people’s mood. Only when we recognize the reasons for excessive dandruff can we avoid the occurrence of excessive dandruff.

The body is ill, such as endocrine abnormalities or psoriasis. When the body is diseased, it will cause the epidermal cells to grow too fast or the sebum secretion to increase pathologically, which will produce a large amount of dandruff. In this case, white-gray patches will be seen on the scalp. After gently scraping them with your fingernails, small blood spots will be seen on the scalp.

The scalp is infected with germs. The most common infection is the oval-shaped fungus Pityrosporum, which feeds on sebum and produces secretions that further stimulate the secretion of sebum and accelerate the maturation and replacement of epidermal cells. The more sebum there is, the faster it multiplies, creating a vicious cycle, and it is natural to have a lot of dandruff. This type of dandruff is large, white or gray, with layers of overlapping flaky scales, and sometimes sticks together in clusters at the roots of the hair.

The cause of excessive dandruff is also due to excessive sebum secretion. Excessive sebum secretion will cause dead cells on the scalp to stick together, resulting in a lot of dandruff. This type of dandruff is mostly in the form of small white dots, which are numerous and very small. After it occurs, people's scalp becomes itchy and their hair becomes drier. So if we want to avoid it, we should use less cosmetics and hair dyes, avoid scratching or pulling, and maintain a good mood.
