Dandruff can affect men and women at any age. Excessive accumulation of dead scales is not only an aesthetic problem, but also causes discomfort, itching and irritation of the skin. Lack of timely treatment has a negative effect on the hair structure and eventually leads to hair loss.
To get rid of the disease, it is important to determine the factors that led to the formation of dandruff and select the optimal method of therapy. Modern medicine offers many special procedures aimed at eliminating the development of pathogenic processes, and specialized cosmetic preparations are also popular.

Seborrheic dermatitis. Causes
The main causes of this disease are:
1) genetic predisposition;
2) metabolic processes;
3) influence of the external environment.
In 1874, the French microbiologist L. Malassez first hypothesized that the causative agent of seborrheic dermatitis is the yeast-like lipophilic fungi Pityrosporum, which later received its name in honor of this scientist. Fungi of this species are concentrated in the middle and superficial parts of the stratum corneum, inside and between the horny scales, as well as in the hair follicles.
Until now, both names of the causative agents of the disease can be found in the literature: Pityrosporum and Malassezia. Currently, the role of the pathogen Pityrosporum in the pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and dandruff has been confirmed by numerous clinical and laboratory studies.
These yeast-like lipophilic fungi are a permanent component of the healthy skin microflora in more than 90% of the population. Fungi concentrate around the sebaceous glands and use their secretions for growth and development. Pityrosporumovale (P. ovale) or according to another classification Malassezia furfur is more often found on the scalp, and Pityrosporumorbiculare on the skin of the trunk.
Indications for use
The Sulsen Forte product line can be used for medicinal, preventive and cosmetic purposes. The main effect of these products is aimed at suppressing the causes leading to mycotic lesions of the scalp, as well as against excessive accumulation of dead cells of the epidermal layer.
In what cases can it be used:
1. For seborrheic dermatitis. The presence of a chronic inflammatory disease contributes to damage to various areas of the skin with the possibility of subsequent spread to healthy areas. The main problem of the pathology is the disruption of the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands.
2. In case of excessive dandruff. This cosmetic disease is characterized by an increased frequency of cell regeneration, which can accumulate in large quantities on the skin and hair. If after some time dandruff does not go away on its own, it is necessary to use therapeutic drugs to prevent the development of side effects.
3. During skin irritations. The feeling of discomfort, accompanied by itching and hyperemia, can be caused by increased secretion of sebum, which leads to a lack of oxygen, which the cells of the inner layers of the skin must receive. Over time, this factor can lead to localized or intense hair loss.
4. For fungal infections. The body of every person contains pathogenic microorganisms that remain dormant until a certain time. But as a result of certain circumstances, fungi receive a favorable environment for development, which causes the development of dandruff and skin diseases.
Sulsen Forte products can be used in case of progression of physiological seborrhea; if the cause of the pathology is hormonal imbalances, it is recommended to undergo additional examination by a doctor. After a general blood test and accurate diagnosis, an individual therapy program will be selected.
