Armpit dandruff - this thread is dedicated to Maha

[Stirts]

Dandruff (also called pityriasis capitis) is seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. It is believed to be caused by a proliferation of a normal skin inhabitant, a yeast called Pitysporum ovale (Malassezia furfur). It is a common skin condition, which also occurs in other areas such armpits and groin.

Dandruff is a harmless cosmetic problem rather than a troublesome medical condition and it does not cause hair loss. It cannot be cured, but it can be controlled.


FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES TO EASE YOUR SYMPTOMS:


Shampoo with a dandruff shampoo (Selsun or Nizoral)
Leave the lather on a few minutes before rinsing, then rinse thoroughly.
Use a hair conditioner to smooth out tangles.
After the dandruff clears up, any shampoo may be used. A dandruff shampoo can then be used periodically. Alternating a regular and dandruff shampoo is another option.

There are a stack of good old home remedies to try out: lime juice, aloe vera gel, tea tree oil — it's all a bit hair raising.

Thank you for sharing that Stirts.
I'm sure there will be many on here who find that so helpful.

I wondered how Maha would :confused:, since he is bald, but of course, he may well have not only hairy armpits but dandruffy hairy bits. :eek:

He should be honoured that you would seek out such information to help ease and control his unfortunate condition.....
