here<\/a> to learn about natural remedies for dandruff. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHead Lice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n People think that lice can only occur in children, or that they only get them in school. As it turns out, lice can creepy crawl their way onto anyone\u2019s scalp. Lice love clean hair, contradicting the belief that they only occur in people with poor hygiene. If you look closely near the scalp, you can typically see tiny eggs on individual hair strands. They look similar to dandruff flakes, but they differ in that they adhere to the strands. Sometimes, you can see lice moving around the head, but they are difficult to spot. You have to carefully comb them out of the hair with a special comb before using a shampoo that contains pyrethrins\/pyrethrum. This compound works to get rid of lice by attacking their nervous system, not your nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contact Dermatitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n People who are sensitive or allergic to certain materials can easily develop contact dermatitis. Latex, nickel, or certain types of makeup can easily irritate the skin and cause a rash or itchy, inflamed skin. When it comes to itchy scalp, however, most dermatologists agree that the culprit is paraphenylenediamine (PPD), which is an ingredient in some hair dyes. When you stop using the material that causes the irritation, things typically clear up. If the problem persists, you may need to talk with a doctor or dermatologist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ringworm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Ringworm, Tinea wapitis<\/em>, is a common fungus that can infect the scalp and other parts of the body. It extends deep into the hair follicle and causes round patches that can increase in size over time. The rash is commonly itchy and can appear raised or stubbly. If ringworm is the cause of itchy scalp the fix often comes in the form of some anti-fungal medication. Because the organism goes into the hair follicle, anti-fungal medications that you take orally will resolve the issue. Before prescribing the medication, a doctor will have to determine if ringworm is the actual cause. <\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
