Q: Zinc pyrithione is an antibacterial and anti'fungal agent, so it can reduce any bacterial or fungal infection on your scalp that may be causing your dandruff due to seborrheic dermatitis. The Malassezia furfur fungi is thought to be partially responsible for dandruff in some people. As such, buy some from your local grocery store or pharmacy and use it instead of your regular shampoo. The most common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis (or seborrhea), which usually occurs on the scalp, ears, face and upper torso. mid-chest, and mid-back. Seborrhea produces itchy, reddish plaques on skin (scaling), which flakes off as dandruff. Common zinc pyrithione shampoos include Head & Shoulders, Selsun Salon,Jason Dandruff Relief 2 in 1, and Neutrogena Daily Control Dandruff Shampoo. Coal tar slows down the rate of decay the skin cells on your scalp undergo it essentially prevents skin cells from dying and forming scaly plaques. Less plaque formation equates to less dandruff. The main downside to using shampoos with coal tar is they don't smell very good and cause painful irritation if you get some in your eyes. Coal tar is actually a by-product from the process of manufacturing coal. It's considered effective for preventing dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. Remember that eczema is characterized by an itchy red rash, whereas psoriasis involves raised patches topped by silvery scales. Commonly available shampoos that contain coal tar include Neutrogena T/Gel, Denorex Therapeutic Protection, and Scytera. Selenium sulfide is another compound that slows down the rate at which skin cells on your scalp die or "turn over", thereby reducing scaling and dandruff production. Although unlike coal tar, selenium sulfide is also an antifungal and thought to be able to combat malassezia fungi. As such, selenium sulfide shampoos are a little more versatile because they can treat a wider range of causes. The main downside to using these types of anti-dandruff shampoos is that they can discolor blond, gray, or chemically colored hair. In order to reduce the potential for hair discoloration, only use these shampoos strictly as instructed don't leave them on your scalp for too long and thoroughly rinse your hair with water. Shampoos that contain selenium sulfide as an ingredient include Selsun Blue, Dandrex, and Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength. Salicylic acid (the main medicinal ingredient in aspirin) is also capable of reducing scale and eliminating dandruff because it can soften dead skin, exfoliate your scalp and reduce inflammation. The main downside to salicylic acid is that it can dry out your scalp if its overused, which can actually trigger more dandruff and become counterproductive. To minimize the drying out effect of salicylic acid, use a scalp conditioner after shampooing. Commonly available shampoos that contain salicylic acid acid include Ionil T and Neutrogena T/Sal. Some salicylic acid shampoos also contain sulfur, such as Sebex and Sebulex. Be aware that these brands have stronger odors and may leave your hair smelling unpleasant. Ketoconazole is a powerful broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works well against most types of fungi and yeast. These types of shampoo are usually recommended or experimented with when the ones mentioned above are not effective kind of a last resort treatment. They're available over-the-counter as well as by prescription, and tend to cost more than the other anti-dandruff shampoos. Unlike most other anti-dandruff shampoos, products containing ketoconazole usually only need to be applied 2x per week at most. Commonly available shampoos that contain ketoconazole include Nizoral, Extina and Xolegel. While over-the-counter dandruff shampoos are usually effective, severe cases of dandruff may require a prescription-strength shampoo. Prescription shampoos don't contain any different ingredients than mentioned above, just a higher percentage, which makes them stronger. However, there's no scientific evidence that prescription anti-dandruff shampoos work better than common over-the-counter varieties. Ketoconazole is the compound most often used in prescription shampoos. Your doctor can examine your scalp to determine the actual cause of your dandruff. You may need a referral to a skin specialist (dermatologist) for a diagnosis. If your dandruff is caused by an inflammatory condition, such as psoriasis or eczema, your doctor may recommend and prescribe a lotion or cream containing a corticosteroid. Betamethasone is the most common steroid used for dandruff and is found in brands such as Bettamousse and Betnovate. These come in different strengths for different areas of your body (your scalp, for instance, can tolerate a higher strength steroid than the skin on your neck or face), so make sure you get the right one.
A: Use a zinc pyrithione shampoo. Try a shampoo that contains coal tar. Consider selenium sulfide shampoos. Check out shampoos that contain salicylic acid instead. Experiment with shampoos containing ketoconazole if others fail. Talk to your doctor about prescription-strength shampoos and creams.

Q: Sometimes, the best way to decorate a container is to simply label it, especially if you need to use it in a professional environment. Cut a piece of single-colored construction paper into a thin strip, then write a label on it in clear, bold letters. Fix the label to your container using tape or glue. To make your labels pop, glue them to a slightly larger piece of colored paper before putting them on the container. For larger containers, craft lettering may be a good option. If your letters come with adhesive backs, apply them as is. If they don't, use a small amount of glue to keep them in place. Along with names and standard labels, letters can be used to write: A motivational message for containers holding school supplies. A favorite quote or book passage for a media box. A joke label, like the word 'Zoo' for a container filled with stuffed animals. Creating labels on a computer allows you to add anything from photos and graphics to small and instructional text. Programs like Word and Pages can create simple labels with borders, while more advanced programs like Adobe InDesign may be appropriate for specialized labels. When you have a design made, print it on thick paper, cut it out, and glue or tape it to your container. If your container will be holding craft items, toys, or other small, non-perishable objects, use them to create a unique label. Instead of writing "LEGOs" on a plastic box, glue a couple bricks to the front. Instead of writing "Office Supplies," glue a binder clip or marker.

Cut out labels to create a simple organizing system. Add lettering to create labels and messages. Print labels from a computer. Label your container with objects from inside it.
