Why does your horse look like it has dandruff?
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.
Does mayonnaise help get rid of dandruff?

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!
What could cause a out break of dandruff in the scalp?
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.
Why has top brass hair cream been discontinued?
The product is made by a company in Britain, which in these economic times, has closed down.

How do you get remove dandruff permanently?
Answer:
Problem of dandruff depends on the condition of scalp. If our scalp is clean and strong there are very less chances of getting dandruff but if our scalp is dry then we can easily get the dandruff. We can remove the dandruff by using any anti-dandruff shampoo but they all do not work to help scalp. Chemist Direct provides an anti-dandruff shampoo called Nizoral. This shampoo directly works on our dry,itchy or red scalp and makes it clean and healthy. A healthy scalp never gets the problem of dandruff and hair loss as well as also support to new growing hairs.
Is it bad to eat your dandruff?
Normally, people do not ever eat their own dandruff. That falls into the category of picking scabs, picking your nose and eating the snot, and other inappropriate behaviors most kids do between ages 2 and 6. Keep a tissue in your hand, and make sure body items go in the Kleenex, then throw it away. It isn't healthy to eat dead skin.
Yes, use it in a pasty form and rub it on. Aspirin can also treat pimples, mosquito bites, bee stings, and stains.
How do you cure dandruff in pubic hair?

Alcohol is used to kill the fungus on hair stylers such as straighteners or curling irons but it is not used on the scalp.

Why has your rabbit got dandruff?
== == My rabbit has this as well and I am bringing her to the vet. This can be fur mites or "mange" and both can be effectively treated. Bring your bunny to the vet. Go to a vet who specializes in exotic pets because most vets know NOTHING about rabbits and rabbits are very sensitive and somewhat hard to treat. The only way to treat this is to find the root cause of the skin problem.
Firstly eliminate any bathing, cleaning etc of your bunny. Simple brushing is fine.
Try using different cleaning fluids and litter in the cage and litter tray.
This could be a sign of mites (surprisingly easy for a bunny to catch from hay and the like) so a trip to the vet for an ivermectin shot would definitely be a must!
Always remember, rabbits are intelligent, social animals... if they are sick they need to see a vet, just as we would need to see a doctor.
What are the different types of hair loss and their causes?
Different types of hair loss are caused by different things. Here is a look at various types and their causes.
- Androgenetic Alopecia: This is by far the leading type of hair loss in men and women and is a result of genetics. This genetic hair loss is hereditary and can be inherited from either side of the family. Commonly known as male and female pattern baldness, this type of hair loss is due to the action of a chemical known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which attacks the hair follicles and causes hair loss.
- Telogen Effluvium: This condition is also referred to as diffuse hair loss. In this type of hair loss, a lot of hair is lost in a short span of time. Leading causes for this condition are pregnancy, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, very high fevers, severe illnesses, and sometimes even high levels of stress can result in telogen effluvium. This is not a permanent condition and most of the lost hair does grow back within a few months. Some sudden events that can contribute to this condition are childbirth, surgery, and severe emotional stress (death of loved ones, abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events.
- Alopecia Areata: Any sudden loss of hair resulting in bald patches is the condition of alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune disease where the hair follicles are attacked by the body. Why it happens has not yet been discovered. It can be a mild case and result in bald patches on the head or if it is severe it can affect the entire body hair. This condition usually treats itself without any medication although some doctors may prescribe certain steroid injections for repeated occurrence of localized alopecia areata.
- Traction Alpoecia: This type of hair loss occurs in people who routinely pull on their hair through harsh brushing or hairstyles such as a tight ponytail that pull on the hair. One prime example of this condition is the braided hair popular with African-americans.
- Medication Related Hair Loss: Certain medicines such as accutane, allopurinol, and anti-thyroid medicines are known to cause hair loss.
- Diet Related Hair Loss: Temporary hair loss and hair shedding can result from poor nutrition and an unbalanced diet. If your body is deficient in certain minerals, vitamins, and/or iron, it can cause you to lose hair.

The dry scalp is caused due to environmental factors and chemical treatments used for styling the hair. The main reason for the dryness being the depletion of moisture level.
Oily scalp is caused by the overproduction of sebum, by the oil glands in the scalp. This could also be due to the inadequate rinsing out of the hair. See related links below.
from your old shampoo or washing your hair too much
Skin on the body undergoes constant renewal. This means that each and every skin cell, once it dies, gets pushed out and replaced by newer, healthier cells underneath.
Dandruff is essentially this process. Those with dandruff have skin on their scalp that sheds quicker than those without it, making the dead skin "flakes" a lot more noticeable.
Dandruff also occurs when the scalp is exposed to extreme temperatures and cause the skin cells on the scalp to dry out and shed quicker.
To prevent it, use hair products such as "Head and Shoulders" that are designed to treat dandruff. Basically, aim for anything that will keep the scalp healthy and moisturized.
dandruf is caused by dirt that has been decayed by not washing your hair for many days
