The pathological processes lead to the destruction of hair follicles, thus resulting in permanent alopecia. Treatments are generally not very effective1.
It requires specific targeted treatments administered in hospital.
Use an anti-dandruff shampoo, 3 times a week during the attack period, then once or twice a week for maintenance, alternating with a mild non-detergent shampoo.
Factors that irritate the scalp and aggravate dandruff should be avoided: blow-drying, brushing hair vigorously, hair coloring with ammonia, unsuitable detergent shampoos.
