The combination in ketoconazole blade shampoo

Ketoconazole is the active ingredient in this shampoo, an antifungal that works effectively against the fungus Malassezia furfur, which is responsible for many cases of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.Dexpanthenol is also included as a nourishing additive, known for its skin-soothing properties and contributes to the regeneration of the scalp.

Causes & Risk factors of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis and scaling are often due to an overproduction of skin oil (sebum) and the presence of the fungus Malassezia furfur.Risk factors such as hormonal fluctuations, stress and genetic predisposition can also influence these conditions.Environmental influences such as cold weather and dry heated air can also worsen the symptoms.

Recognize and understand symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis

Typical symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff include greasy scales that are white to yellowish, red, inflamed areas of skin, and itching of the scalp.

Washing your hair too often can cause dandruff

Washing your hair every day is not necessary and can strain the scalp.The skin's natural protective film is removed by frequent washing, which stimulates the skin to produce more sebum.Reducing the frequency of washing your hair can help your skin adjust and reduce sebum production.At first the hair may appear a little greasy, but this normalizes over time.

Depending on the cause, dandruff appears greasy or dry

Dry dandruff usually appears as small, white flakes caused by dry or irritated scalp.Causes can include drying or aggressive hair care products, washing and blow-drying your hair too often, and dry heating air in winter.Oily dandruff occurs when excessive sebum is produced and is white to yellow, oily and sticks to the skin for a longer period of time.These conditions favor the growth of the yeast Malassezia furfur, which can promote inflammatory reactions in the skin and thus the formation of greasy dandruff.

General care and prevention tips

To treat and prevent dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, we recommend regular washing with special shampoos such as ketoconazole blade shampoo, avoiding products that can irritate the scalp, a balanced diet and stress management.Try to minimize the use of hair care products and choose mild versions without dyes, fragrances or classic preservatives.
