Going to start highlighting my favorite remedies for the most common concerns I see in my clinic! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First on deck I’m tackling itchy, flaky scalp - often due to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, also known as dandruff. Here are some ingredients to try (all available without a prescription!): ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Zinc Pyrithione - rinse-off product with anti-fungal activity. Example: @officialvanicream Dandruff Shampoo ➡️ Hydrocortisone - a low-potency topical steroid that works as an anti-inflammatory agent. Example: Scalpicin Scalp Itch Relief ➡️ Selenium Sulfide - stronger option as compared to zinc pyrithione with both anti-fungal and anti-keratolytic activity. Example: Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength Dandruff Defense ➡️ Salicylic Acid - a known keratolytic agent which breaks down dead skin cells to help target stubborn scales and flakes. Example: MG217 Shampoo ➡️ Coal Tar - helps to slow skin cell turnover resulting in flaking. Example: @neutrogena TGel Therapeutic Shampoo ➡️ Ketoconazole - a great anti-fungal agent with activity against Malassezia furfur, a yeast thought to play a role in dandruff. Example: @nizoralofficial Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If these don’t work, it may be time to see a board-certified dermatologist to discuss prescription treatments. Hope someone learned something! What condition would you like to see next??
