The most common scalp conditions behind dandruff and an itchy scalp include the following:
- Seborrheic dermatitis of Scalp
- Psoriasis of scalp
- Scalp infection; Fungal infection
- Scalp inflammation; contact dermatitis, eczema
- Inflammation and allergic reaction of hair and scalp products
- Hypersensitive, oily and irritated scalp
Prevention and Treatment
An anti-dandruff shampoo and topical medications can be used to overcome these symptoms and to reduce the chance of them recurring. As part of a more complete itchy scalp treatment, BSL Clinic’s Light Therapy can also be used to reduce signs of inflammation, support scalp circulation, strengthen hair roots, and encourage hair growth. Alongside any itchy scalp treatment, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle — combining a nutritious diet with a regular exercise routine — thus minimising stress levels.
