50 Million people in the U.S. alone suffer with Dandruff. Dandruff causes excessive scaling on the scalp, with white flakes made up of dead skin cells. There is no inflammation or redness and that is one of the differences between Dandruff and Seborrhea, or Seborrheic Dermatitis. Besides the terrible itching sensation, the appearance could be also embarrassing.
Dandruff occurs mainly on the scalp.
In most cases Dandruff is caused by excessive oil on the skin and scalp, not dryness as some people may think. Some cases of Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis can be caused by bacteria or fungus like Pityrosporum Ovale or Pityrosporum Orbiculare. The discovery of the new formulation of Zinc Pyrithione in the form of a spray, has had great acceptance worldwide due to its unique formulation, easy application and its effectiveness against Seborrheic Dermatitis, Seborrhea and Dandruff. The formula is produced in Europe under the name of Blue-Cap. The Blue-Cap Spray is the main treatement for the scalp and must be applied to the affected areas twice a day.
