Best Dandruff Treatment at Bangalore | Dr. Health Hair Clinic The bad dandruff refers to scalp infections. When the oil or sebum secretion on the scalp accumulates or stagnates for too long, it starts attracting fungal infections. These fungi find sebum as a good source of food and therefore grow very easily on an oily scalp. Here the dandruff flakes are more severe and accompanied by itching, irritation and boils on the scalp. Directly or indirectly the infection then affects hair growth leading to hair loss and sometimes considerable baldness. Such cases do not respond to hair care alone and usually need medical care. When correctly medicated, they respond well to treatment and the hair loss resulting from it can also be controlled. Oily dandruff is nothing but the oil secretion on the scalp. Every scalp secretes its own natural oil called sebum. When the head is scratched this oily grimy sebum comes out as white substance in the finger nails and is often mistaken as dandruff. It usually does not cause any hair loss or scalp damage and therefore qualifies as the ‘good dandruff’. A hair care regime involving the right shampoo and correct method of washing is enough to deal with this type of dandruff.
