Causes, forms and treatments for Seborrhea
Seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis is a condition characterized by overproduction of the sebaceous glands, which causes hypersecretion of fat. Its name comes from the combination of two Latin words: fat-fat-and-flow area. Usually occurs in the scalp, face and chest.
Seborrhea has several effects: first, the hair oil, become heavy and looks dirty appearance. It is also unusual odor is perceived. It can also stimulate hair loss, because when there is excess fat, forming small scabs that block to override the normal output of each hair.
The affected areas become red and may itch, but it is important to remember that scratching or massaging stimulates further strong sebum. Nor is the solution to frequent washing of hair. When sebaceous glands are enlarged hair follicle and clean produce fat to cover it, and if the “accustomed” to happen often, increase its secretion rate.
Internal and external causes converge in the development of seborrheic dermatitis. Among the prisoners are genetic predisposition, an unbalanced diet (abuse of lipids or carbohydrates), hormonal problems, or prolonged use of certain drugs such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, antibiotics and diuretics. External causes are stimulating environment in which they live or work (if saturated oxygen level, for example) and use of excessive degreasing shampoos, which will result in the rebound effect mentioned.
If we go to a dermatologist for this problem, and he considers it necessary to apply a treatment, we propose the use of products containing corticosteroids, antifungal, astringent and antiinflammatory. It is important to follow the proper shampoo. What should we look for in your composition? Plant extracts of nettle, ivy, birch, or essential oils of lavender, rosemary, pine, eucalyptus or lemon. We must ensure they do not contain detergents and are, if possible, rich in selenium and zinc. If we can, those products with Dead Sea water are very effective for its high concentration of salts.
To complement this, we treat the hair with a fine brush and soft, and not get used to the dryer too hot, not a lacquer or gels. And in general terms, eating a balanced diet will always help. Just to avoid stressful situations and ensure a good rest.
If you prefer to opt for all-natural products, there is a small homemade honey to combat seborrhea. We mix that respects the proportions of 90% and 10% pure honey with warm water. The massaging apply 2 to 3 minutes and then we act about 3 hours. We removed with warm water and repeat daily for a month, and then once a week for six months. While this natural choice is intensive and requires dedication, works.

How does your hair?
The hair has a phase of approximately 3 years, followed by a regression phase when the follicle shrinks and deteriorates and finally, in a last phase, falls and is reborn, thus closing the cycle. Sometimes the cycle is altered by various circumstances that can lead to abnormal hair fall and poor or little new hair production, and thus to some types of alopecia congenital or not preventable.
What factors lead to its demise?
One of the most common causes of this alteration is occlusion of the pores, commonly due to sebaceous plugs. This dysfunction is helped by the action of external agents such as sun, salt, chlorine and some cosmetic products with Ph aggressive or inappropriate for our skin. Such aggressive agents weaken sa stratum corneum and can even cause cell damage leading to dehydration and subsequent hair loss. At the same time a little moisture or a bad eating habits can accumulate toxins that normal production cycle of our hair.
