Effective care for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis

The KETOconazole blade shampoo is specially developed to effectively combat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.It not only offers quick relief from symptoms such as dandruff, itching and redness, but also lasting prevention against new dandruff formation.

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.

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.

Avoid using unsuitable hair care products

Try to minimize the use of hair care products.If your hair needs a conditioner, choose a mild version from the pharmacy, without dyes, fragrances or classic preservatives in accordance with the EU-Cosmetics Ordinance.Products such as hairspray, mousse and hair gel can put strain on the scalp.If you don't want to do without it, make sure not to spray hairspray directly onto the scalp, but rather parallel to it to minimize contact with the scalp.Mousses and hair gels should preferably be used on dry hair to avoid direct contact with the scalp.
