Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis and Their Homoeopathic Treatment

Introduction

Do you often notice white or yellowish flakes on your scalp, itching, or greasy patches? These may be signs of dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis.

• Dandruff is a mild scalp condition that causes dry or flaky skin.

• Seborrheic dermatitis is a more persistent and severe form, where the scalp becomes oily, inflamed, and scaly. It may also affect eyebrows, behind the ears, and even the chest.

While these conditions are not dangerous, they can be chronic, embarrassing, and linked with hair fall. At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma provides safe and effective homoeopathic treatment that relieves itching and flaking while addressing the root cause to prevent recurrence.

Causes & Triggers of Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis

Medical Causes

• Overgrowth of scalp fungus (Malassezia)

• Excess oil production by sebaceous glands

• Genetic predisposition

• Weak immune system or hormonal imbalance

• Associated skin conditions (psoriasis, eczema)

Lifestyle & Environmental Triggers

• Irregular hair washing or poor scalp hygiene

• Stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep

• Excessive use of harsh shampoos, hair dyes, or styling products

• Weather changes (worse in winter and humidity)

• Nutritional deficiencies (zinc, Vitamin B, omega-3)

Homoeopathic Approach to Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis

Conventional treatments often include medicated shampoos or steroid creams, which may control symptoms temporarily but do not stop recurrence.

Homoeopathy works differently by:

• Correcting internal imbalance that causes scalp irritation.

• Strengthening immunity to reduce fungal overgrowth naturally.

• Treating associated problems like itching, hair fall, or skin sensitivity.

• Providing safe, long-term relief without harmful side effects.

At Homoeo Clinic, Dr. Dinesh Sharma prescribes remedies based on your unique scalp condition, triggers, and overall health, ensuring lasting results.
