Dry skin on the head is a common condition that affects many people,
causing discomfort and sometimes embarrassment.
Together, we will examine the causes, symptoms and ways of dealing with this unpleasant condition.

Causes of Xeroderma

Climate conditions: Cold weather and low humidity can cause dryness of the scalp.
Chemical Products: Shampoos and hair care products with harsh chemicals can irritate and dry the skin.
Frequent Leaking: Excessive shampooing can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness.
Skin Diseases: Conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis may be a cause of dry skin.
Nutrition: Lack of essential nutrients such as vitamins A, D, and E, and omega-3 fatty acids
can contribute to dry skin.

What are the symptoms to watch out for

Severe itching is the most common symptom.
Furthermore, the skin may peel off, leaving white flakes in the hair and shoulders.
Also, the scalp may be red and irritated.
Finally, a possible indication is a feeling of dryness and pulling on the scalp.

And now that you know how to recognize the signs, how can you deal with them?

Shampoo choice: Use mild shampoos without harsh chemicals.
Shampoos with moisturizing agents and natural oils are also a solution.
Reduction of Flushing Frequency: Shampoo your hair less often to allow the natural oils
moisturize the scalp.
Moisturizing: use emollient creams and oils to maintain moisture in the skin and hair.
Diet: include foods rich in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
Pharmaceutical Solutions: In severe cases, it may be necessary to use medicated shampoos or topical preparations.
Advice from a dermatologist is essential for personalized recommendations.

But, because prevention is better than cure, here are some tips to help you
avoid dry skin, with all its attendant symptoms!

Hydration from the inside: drink enough water to keep your body and skin hydrated.
Protection from Climatic Conditions: Hat on cold or very sunny days.
Avoid harsh products: choose hair products with natural ingredients and without alcohol.

Dry skin on the head is an embarrassing but fortunately, usually treatable condition.
