Dandruff does not cause much harm to health, but it is rather worrisome for both adults and children, since the head, covered with small skin scales, does not look the best way, spoiling the appearance. Those familiar with this problem know that good scalp care alone doesn't solve anything - it doesn't always help. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the psychosomatic causes of dandruff.
General information
Dandruff is small particles of the outer layer of the scalp. Flakes are formed due to the high rate of their detachment. In medicine, the problem is considered a mild manifestation of seborrheic dermatitis. It's believed that metabolic disorders play a decisive role in the formation of dandruff, due to which the sebaceous glands begin to work incorrectly, as well as fungal skin lesions. In the development of increased detachment of small skin scales, the deficiency of vitamins A and C, as well as violation of hygiene requirements, are considered guilty - too frequent or too rare shampooing.
Adolescents are most susceptible to dandruff during puberty, but in old age, dandruff is not such a frequent occurrence, from which scientists concluded that the balance and intensity of the production of sex hormones play a key role.
Seborrhea is oily and dry - depending on the specific disorder of the function of the sebaceous glands, it is either excessive or insufficient. Dandruff is treated by a trichologist.
It should be noted that it is far from always possible to find the true causes of dandruff, and then doctors apply symptomatic treatment, and dandruff can return at any time. In this case, they speak of a psychogenic factor.
Psychosomatic causes
Psychosomatics studies the relationship between the psyche, emotional state and illness. Because the the scalp has direct contact with the outside world, then its drying out or excessive salting is psychosomatic a sign of fatigue from communicating with this world... A person with dandruff is very tired of logically and analytically comprehending everything that happens to him in the world around him.
The appearance of dandruff in a child or an adult is a sign that a person has a huge intellectual load that he can no longer cope with, he is tired and needs rest. But everything would be much easier if he allowed himself to take a break from intense mental activity, but pride and a sense of responsibility interfere with him, due to which he cannot show weakness and refuse to think about the tasks set.
The sebaceous glands from the point of view of psychosomatics play the role of storage cells responsible for the material. therefore adults who suffer from dandruff, according to the assurances of psychotherapists, are usually very preoccupied with supplies, money issues, savings... People with dandruff, which does not lend themselves to any shampoos and head masks, are usually very concerned about discounts, prices, salaries, they often talk about it and refuse to move the conversation to other topics.
Another type of people who suffer from fungal dandruff is reflected in the compilation of a psychological portrait. Thus, psychoanalysts believe that people with such dandruff have great knowledge, but they use it mainly in order to manipulate others. They never do anything just like that - they always have their own calculation, their own benefit.
Childhood problem
Dandruff is uncommon in children and is usually first encountered during adolescence. Intellectual loads take the first place in childhood. If the child is excessively overloaded with activities, studies, if he tries to independently, without outside help, give himself answers to difficult life questionsit is very likely that dandruff will appear when the stress reaches its peak.
Teenage manipulators are also not uncommon. Such young men and women take from external contacts only what they need to achieve their goals; other aspects of communication usually do not interest them.
Treatment
For the treatment of dandruff, which does not lend itself to other methods and methods, you should honestly answer yourself the question, are you so brilliant, and whether this world can do without your constant mental participation in it. It is necessary to eliminate overestimated self-esteem and a sense of self-worth... The world will survive perfectly well without you for a couple of days, which you allow yourself to rest and not think about anything serious. Those who are preoccupied with money should learn to relate more easily to all material - usually after a person begins to release money more easily, they begin to arrive more willingly.
In the treatment of dandruff in children, it is important to soberly assess the load imposed on the child, if necessary, they should be reduced. But it is also important to teach your toddler to ask the "How" and "Why" questions.
These questions, more precisely, the answers that children receive from adults, calm down for a while and give a sense of clarity of what is happening, eliminate the need to think out and think about everything on their own, especially since adult questions simply do not fit in a child's head, and therefore cause overwork.
It will help your teen to be more positive about others.... Their sympathy and participation is what will help to overcome the desire to manipulate. A gift in the form of a kitten or a puppy can help with this. Empathy tends to multiply.
