Diseases of the scalp: their types and ways of treatment

If you suspected the development of a scalp disease in your body, then you should not hesitate with her treatment. Of course, only the doctor can tell the exact diagnosis and the correct method of struggle, but it will not hurt to have more information about its various types and causes.

The most common disease is considered to be seborrhea. Doctors classify it as dry and fat. But regardless of the type of disease, the cause, as a rule, lies in the violation of the hormonal balance. Due to a malfunction in the activity of the sebaceous glands, dandruff occurs. In this case, the person constantly heals the scalp, which creates considerable discomfort. Since during puberty in the body of a teenager there are the strongest hormonal changes, this disease is most often pursued by this category of people. And the development of seborrhea can continue throughout life. Dry type of disease manifests itself in thinning and weakening of the hair, and dandruff, like snow, is poured out at every stroke of the head. If a long time to ignore the development of seborrhea, then hair loss may begin.

Alopecia refers to a scalp disease that involves partial or complete hair loss. And about the initial stage of baldness can be said even with the hair loss. The exact cause of this disease can be established only after a complete examination, as many pathologies provoke it. For example, disruption of the endocrine or nervous system. And sometimes alopecia is diagnosed at a young age, as congenital. This happens with improper development of the fetus in the womb of the mother.

Baldness at an early age is inherent in the male sex. Usually in the period from 20 to 25 years, hair growth in the area of the temechka slows down considerably, and then completely ceases. Scientists refer this process to the complication of seborrhea. In women, alopecia manifests itself in the form of a significant thinning of the scalp on the head and, as a rule, already in old age. Accelerates the process of alopecia regular exposure to chemicals, for example, hair dyes.

To the disease of the scalp is the formation of bald patches. In most cases, they have a rounded shape and appear either on the frontal or on the occipital area. Men tend not to pay attention to baldness, not considering it a problem and already especially a disease. In fact, this is a real disease that requires appropriate treatment. Otherwise, the bald patch grows in size, as it easily falls out on its borders. This place is called the "zone of shaky hair." But it is worth remembering that premature baldness can be defeated without resorting to cardinal measures.

Irritation of the scalp occurs with psoriasis or the so-called scaly lichen. It refers to chronic diseases and manifests itself in the formation of a rash, which, as it were, is covered with small scales of silvery color. The patient is tormented by severe itching and burning. Treatment should be carried out immediately, so as not to start the disease, because it prevents even from the aesthetic point of view. Experts adhere to conservative treatment, appointing a complex of necessary vitamins. With severe itching, sedatives are recommended, and a neglected form of the disease requires the administration of hormonal drugs to stabilize the body.

Other diseases of the scalp include pediculosis and graying of the hair. Pediculosis is the reproduction of head lice on the skin, which are also the main vectors of serious diseases. And under the graying is understood the process of reducing the pigment in the structure of the hair, so that it loses color. It is equally true for men, and for women of the age category of forty.
