How To Treat Dandruff And Seborrheic Dermatitis At Home!

Both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are two very common problems of the scalp that can occur in anyone of any age. It is a problem that can cause great discomfort and inconvenience to the people who suffer from it. When dandruff is present, you may have a dry scalp due to these small loose flakes that tend to fall down on the shoulders and if we are wearing dark clothes, it looks awful. People who suffer from it also feel discomfort and are conscious of letting their hair hang loose. In the case of seborrheic dermatitis, the problem is even more serious because the scalp forms scabs that peel off, causing redness, itching and hair loss, and in some cases a form of infection.
