Dry And Sensitive Scalp Care

[Gloria Brandt]

Eczema is a general term for various skin conditions that are characterized by dry, red, and very itchy patches on the body and scalp. It can take the form of atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff in its milder incarnations, and mulitple red patches that burn, sting, and blister in more intense forms of the condition. Eczema affects approximately 15 million people in the United States alone, according to the National Institutes of Health. The condition is found in babies (in the form of cradle cap), in children (although many outgrow the condition), and in adults.The intense itching of eczema drives many sufferers to look for relief for their tender skin and for dry and sensitive scalp care.

Eczema is usually treated medically with corticosteriods, but people can not stay on these steriodal creams for too long due to their unpleasant side effects such as skin thinning. Antihistamines can help with the itching. Lotions or creams applied within three minutes of getting out of the bath can help keep skin moisturized and also help with itching. While these products can be good for the skin on the body, others are better suited for dry and sensitive scalp care. Gloria Brandt, owner of European Solutions recommends Skin-Cap and Blue-Cap Products. They are made with a new formulation of Zinc Pyrithione, which exerts a high antibacterial and anti-fungal action against a series of pathenogenic microorganisms (streptococcus and staphylococcus). Although doctors are not sure of the causes of eczema, they think an abnormal reaction of the immune system may be a factor, so products that attack the microorganisms on the skin can help bring relief. Skin-Cap Shampoo relieves itching and reduces scaling. It naturally moisturizes the skin and eliminates excessive grease. It normalizes cell activity on the scalp and has a positive effect on hair growth. Skin-Cap and Blue-Cap products are great for dry and sensitive scalp care, and they also have soothing products to help with body care. Best of all, in this dragging economy, they are running specials to help sufferers find relief!
