How to Cure Bad Dandruff

Dandruff are small pieces of dead skin in a person’s hair. People sometimes get very embarrassed when they see the dandruff on their clothes from falling out of their hair.  It is a very common scalp condition.  It is not contagious however it can become annoying and difficult to treat.

Mild cases can be cured by a shampoo with a gentle cleanser like Head and Shoulders. More stubborn cases of dandruff often respond to medicated shampoos.

Babies get dandruff but it is called cradle cap. This disorder, which causes a scaly, crusty scalp, is most common in newborns, but it can occur anytime during infancy. Although it can be frightening for parents, cradle cap isn’t dangerous and usually clears up on its own by the time a baby is 3 years old.  Using a certain shampoo and/or cream on the babies head should help this condition.

You can always visit a dermatologist and get some advice on what to use on your head/hair if over the counter shampoos do not work.
