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 , since he is bald, but of course, he may well have not only hairy armpits but dandruffy hairy bits.

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