The main chronic scalp conditions
The scalp is a sensitive area that can be affected by various chronic conditions. Among the most common are seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. These problems can lead to redness, itching, scaling, and general discomfort. Let's decode these three pathologies together, along with adapted solutions to restore a healthy scalp.
1. Seborrheic dermatitis: a chronic inflammation
Seborrheic dermatitis is a benign but recurrent inflammatory condition, characterized by red patches covered with greasy scales. It is caused by an excessive proliferation of the yeast Malassezia, naturally present on the skin.
Symptoms and aggravating factors:
- Red patches and greasy scales on the scalp, eyebrows, and the furrow between the nose and cheeks.
- Appearance of "cradle cap" in infants.
- Worsening due to stress, fatigue, and humidity.
2. Psoriasis: an autoimmune disease of the scalp
Psoriasis is a chronic condition that accelerates skin cell renewal. This overproduction leads to thick, scaly, well-defined red patches, causing itching and significant desquamation.
Symptoms and specificities:
- Thick, well-defined scaly patches.
- Sensation of tightness and discomfort.
- Can appear on other areas of the body (elbows, knees, lower back).
3. Atopic dermatitis: dry and reactive skin
Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects people with reactive skin prone to allergies. It manifests as redness, mild scales, and intense itching.
Symptoms and aggravating factors:
- Dry, irritated, and inflammation-prone skin.
- Appearance of red patches with fine scales.
- Aggravating factors: stress, allergens, temperature changes.
