Severe dandruff can be a distressing ailment for the sufferer. In most cases of severe dandruff it is actually caused by an underlying skin condition rather than just simply a dry scalp.

If you suspect you have severe dandruff then you should see a dermatologist who will be able to determine whether something like seborrhoeic eczema or seborrhoeic dermatitis is causing the flaking skin on your scalp.

If the cause is just regular dandruff then you can proceed to test various products until you find one that works well on your scalp without side effects.

Seborrhoeic eczema can be found on various parts of the body, as can seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Both of these conditions result in dry, red itchy skin and once spread to the scalp, can manifest in severe dandruff which will not be cleared by regular anti-dandruff shampoo.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis causes greasy scales on the skin as well as red skin and often itchiness. It can also be found around the nose, cheeks, eyebrows and torso.

It is generally worse during winter as the cold weather sets it off. Sunlight tends to relieve symptoms in summer time although this is not the case with everyone.

Pityrosporum ovale is a fungus which is prevalent in seborrhoeic dermatitis. If this is the cause of your dandruff then your doctor will prescribe and anti-fungal treatment.

Only treatments which focus on killing this fungus will have an effect on your dandruff. The last thing you want to do is simply mask the symptoms.

Psoriasis is another skin condition which can result in dandruff. Only a dermatologist can tell you if you have this condition and whether it is related to your dandruff.

There are some very strong prescription treatments for dandruff that can be prescribed by your doctor. In the case of severe dandruff, supermarket quality shampoos rarely work although many people have had great success with all natural Dandruff treatments.

These shampoos and conditioners do not contain the harsh chemicals that other products do and as such don’t cause side effects or reactions that can actually result in increased dandruff.

Severe dandruff, like mild dandruff, can also be assisted with a lowering of stress levels and better health habits such as cutting down on sugar and bad fats in the diet.

If you are suffering from severe dandruff you should see a doctor right away as it is likely that a cure, or at least relief, will be easily found.

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.
