Can dandruff be removed permanently?

A simple Google search on dandruff and its removal could leave your head spinning. There are numerous articles that recommend all sorts of solutions, everything ranging from a simple curd mixture applied on the scalp to a full blown cooking recipe complete with all kinds of fruit extracts to apply to your scalp. Many of us would get worked up by the sheer presentation of these ‘recipes’ and follow its instruction. However, too often we notice that these remedies are either fabricated or applicable only in certain climatic conditions. Even if it does succeed in removing the dandruff we soon realize that the healing is short-lived. Our old enemy,”The Dandruff”, soon returns to haunt and embarrass us.

Dandruff, especially chronic dandruff that never seems to leave you is a medical condition and it should be treated with proper medical care. There are numerous well-documented cases where proper medical attention has drastically decreased and eliminated the presence of scaly dandruff on one’s scalp. The key to fighting dandruff effectively is to perceive it as a medical condition and subsequently to cure it as such.

If you or anyone you know suffers from excessive and constant dandruff you can reach out to us and we would love to provide more information on the topic.

We need to nip it in the bud. But for this one ought to know more about acne, what is it, its types and causes.

 

What causes Acne?

 

Acne is a single term used to address certain varieties of skin ailments. Acne's differ in severity depending on the type. When an excess of bacteria, dead skin cells and sebum block the hair follicles, acne is formed.

 

Here are some general causes of acne:

 

Hormonal changes: The hormonal levels show a fluctuation during the adolescent period. The skin produces an excess of sebum when the hormonal levels rise and this leads to an acne breakout.

Hereditary factors: Hereditary also has a role in acne development. If your parents or grandparents suffered from such an issue, you are more likely to go through it as well.

Tension and stress: While stress cannot be linked directly to skin problems, it does have an indirect effect on our skin as it triggers acne formation. Due to stress, our body releases hormones called androgens and cortisol, and the fluctuation of such hormones will lead to the production of oil in large quantities. This leads to acne development or breakout.

 

What are the different types of acne?

Acne appears on the skin when the sebaceous glands are infected. There are various kinds of acne.

Non-inflammatory Acne:

Noninflammatory acnes are differentiated and described using comedones. There are open and closed comedones.

Blackheads: They are open comedones as their pores are open and are seen on the surface of the skin. The sebum inside the open pores oxidizes when in contact with the air, resulting in hardened sebum and the air mixing with melanin to form blackheads.

Whiteheads: They are closed comedones. Here the pores are covered by a thin layer of skin, which leads to the accumulation of sebum and dead skin forming a thick plug under the skin. Bacteria will attack the skin cells around the pores and whiteheads appear.

Inflammatory acne:

Inflammatory acnes are a bit more severe and treatment is difficult. They are caused by P.acne bacteria infecting the pores. There are four types of inflammatory acnes.

Papules: Papules are hard pimples that do not contain pus. They appear as swollen red color pimples surrounded by inflamed tissues.

Pustules: Pustules are pimples containing white blood cells. It also contains pus which is a collection of white blood cells trying to fight bacteria.

Nodules:  They appear as large bumps under the skin and happen during the last stages of a breakout. They are much more severe than the others and tend to stay longer. They are formed as a result of a buildup of sebum, bacteria and skin cells underneath the skin. They do not contain pus.

Cysts: It is very hard to get rid of this type of acne. You need to choose the perfect treatment for it. Cysts from deep underneath the skin and appear as red bumps on the skin. They do not contain pus but are very painful.
