Dandruff

In the 1950s, dandruff treatments primarily included medicated shampoos containing ingredients like tar, sulfur, and salicylic acid. Brands such as Head & Shoulders emerged during this time, promoting their anti-dandruff formulas. Other treatments included lotions and scalp tonics aimed at reducing flaking and irritation. However, the offerings were limited compared to the wide variety of dandruff products available today.

A brush infused with copper may have some antimicrobial properties that could help reduce the presence of certain bacteria and fungi associated with dandruff. However, the effectiveness of such a brush specifically in treating dandruff has not been conclusively proven. Effective dandruff treatment typically involves using medicated shampoos and maintaining a proper scalp care routine. Therefore, while a copper-infused brush might provide some benefits, it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for dandruff.

Yes, pityriasis capitis simplex is a type of dandruff. It is characterized by the shedding of dry, flaky skin from the scalp, often accompanied by mild itching. This condition is generally considered a benign and common issue, typically resulting from scalp dryness or irritation rather than a fungal infection. Treatment often involves the use of anti-dandruff shampoos and improved scalp care.

One of the best-performing over-the-counter hair color shampoo-conditioners backed by real-world results is Just For Men Control GX. In a consumer study conducted by Combe Incorporated (the manufacturer), 88% of users reported noticeable gray reduction within two weeks of use. Unlike traditional dyes, Control GX gradually reduces gray with each wash, making the transition look natural and low-maintenance. It also contains conditioning agents like PEG-8 and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, which help minimize dryness—a common issue with many color treatments. It’s a practical choice if you're looking for visible results without salon visits or harsh chemicals.

Dandruff happens when a fungus on the scalp causes irritation and makes skin cells shed too quickly. This can lead to flakes and itching. It might be worsened by dry skin, sensitivity to hair products, stress, or conditions like psoriasis. Taking care of your scalp and using the right products can help control it.

Yes, it is possible to extract DNA from dandruff, as dandruff contains skin cells that can provide genetic material. By collecting dandruff samples and using a DNA extraction kit, it is possible to analyze the DNA to identify the individual.

Yes, there is no specific "dandruff gene." Dandruff is believed to be caused by a combination of factors including a specific type of fungus on the scalp, overactive oil glands, and individual genetic predispositions.

Some molds such as those found in Bleu Cheese are eatable. But the molds that grow on decayed food, that are found in the air, and that can grow in houses, are dangerous and can cause sickness, infection, irritation, etc. DO NOT EAT MOLD IF YOU ARE NOT %100 SURE THAT IT IS EATABLE!!!

Every guinea pig gets dandruff. You can make sure that goes away by purchasing a special shampoo for guinea pigs. Make sure not to pick up a pregnant guinea pig as that could hurt one of it's litter

This probably isn't dandruff, it's most likely to be mites, if your guinea pigs have scabs on their skin, i reckon it could be. Take it to the vets for a professional opinion and they will give you some treatment for it.

Did you wash her with flea shampoo? This can cause dry skin and dandruff with piggies.

could be scurf, trademark sign of a few conditions, it is best to take your guinea to the vet if there is a problem they will give you a special shampoo or some ivermectin to treat it and it should clear up in a few weeks

In some cases, not all animals have dandruff, because some of them are not mammals. DANDRUFF CANNOT BE BUILT IN WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE FUR.

So, the answer to your question is, NO, not all of them.

No one really knows for sure, but one study noted an increased DHT level and DHT:testosterone ratio in men taking creatine. Testosterone is converted to DHT by 5alpha-reductase, and high DHT levels and DHT:testosterone ratio have been associated with male pattern balding. Propecia, which is used for male pattern balding, is a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor which is supposed to prevent further balding by decreasing conversion of testosterone to DHT.

This effect is probably only likely to occur in people who are genetically susceptible to male pattern baldness however.

Dander or dandruff is typically dried flaking skin cells that are visible on the cat's hair; dark-furred cats are more likely to show this than light-furred cats because the light colored dander stands out against the dark fur.

Your veterinarian can help you figure out what is causing the dander, but in general shampooing your cat will only make it worse by drying the skin out further and creating more dander. However, if the dander isn't severe, you can try gently combing out your cat's fur and wiping the existing dander off with a clean cloth.

The main cause for a horse apprearing to have dandruff is that... it does. Horses can have dandruff just like people. However, if this dandruff appears excessive and you notice the horse to be shedding more than usual or losing fur altogether, your horse may have rein rot. If this is the case, keep him away from your other horses, as rein rot is a fungus and is contageous. Also, don't use any of the brushes, blankets, saddles, etc. from this horse on others until they have been THOROUGHLY cleaned and disinfected. As for your horse himself, you'll need to bathe him every other day using a mixture of horse-safe shampoo and iodine...yes iodine... This will kill the infection. There is a product on the market for rein rot called "Viodine." However it will have the same effect as mixing a GENEROUS portion of iodine and horse-safe shampoo. ( I suggest main and tail, which can be purchased at your local Kroger.) Remember to keep the soapy mixture away from your horse's eyes, nose and ears. You need to scrub him WELL. (Trust me, it will feel good to him/her) If the problem persists, see your local vet. Good luck and happy trails!

That's a good answer...but it's rain rot, not "rein rot".

Yes. Wiener dogs are more naturally prone to dandruff.

yes, the substance can dissolve the dry skin, take it up, then release it when you rince out.

No. Go to your pharmacy and get a suitable treatment. And don't be embarrassed.

According to my kids pediatrician, Vaseline is a non-pesticide treatment for head lice. If you coat your whole scalp in Vaseline at night before you go to bed they will be dead in the morning. They recommended wearing a shower cap to bed and using concentrated dish detergent to get the Vaseline out the next morning. It does not kill the eggs which can take up to 10 days to hatch so unless you remove them all, you will have to retreat. Lice do not lay eggs for the first 10 days of their lives so as long as you retreat every few days for up to 10 days you should be able to successfully radicate the head lice. I tried it, and although it took me much longer than 10 days to get all of the Vaseline out of my kids hair, it worked wonders!!!

Yes it can work. I strongly recommend using a different method. We had used this and it took A dozen washes to get it all out.

it would actually depend on how everyone takes care of their skin/scalp, but otherwise i would say yeah most do!

A dry scalp, use shampoo & conditioner that moisturize the scalp, head & shoulders & other dandruff shampoo just dry out your scalp making it even more flakier. I use tresemme shampoo * conditioner and they work very good. Also, the exact cause of dandruff is not pin-pointed, but genetics has a large role in it. Poor hygiene does not have a role, contrary to a common misconception. People who comb or brush their hair less often do not shed their scalp of dead skin therefore causing a dandruff buildup. Dry skin and stress are also factors.

Dandruff is an hair problem which is known to be caused by a fungal infection. Dead skin cells accumulate to form thick white scales, on the scalp and shed randomly. Itchy and dry, the scaly dead skin is unsightly and embarrassing. Apart from using harsh chemical based shampoos, you can try using some effective natural remedies that work better and give you freedom for constant itching and scaling. Natural products give best results and cause no damage the hair cuticles. Dandruff is aggravated by exposure to sun, using chemical treatments on the hair and excessive dryness. If you can manage to keep your hair clean and nourished, dandruff can be eliminated. There are many basic remedies that you can take to keep your hair dandruff free. A warm coconut oil head massage can do wonders. Apart from making your hair lustrous and shiny, the optimized oil levels keep the scalp nourished while the vigorous massage aids better blood circulation, exfoliates the scalp of dead skin build up. A teaspoon of fresh lime juice in the last hair rinse combined with a light weight conditioner can also be effective to treat dandruff. Furthermore, this adds much needed luster to the hair as well. In addition, an individual needs to keep off from strong teas or coffee, pickles, as well as refined and processed foods.

The product is made by a company in Britain, which in these economic times, has closed down. However, there is a product made by the Texas company Sulfur 8, that thank the Lord has no sulfur in it, called FIVE STAR. It is in an almost identical box but stores need to know about it so they can order it. I have not found it yet in Homestead Florida.

It is very rare and strange for someone to get subherroeic dermatitis on thier eyelids, it is probably just irritation of some sort. You could try rubbing medicated lotion on them like Cortisone.
