What to do if you have itchy dandruff during breastfeeding

Under normal circumstances, the epidermal cells at the hair, because these dermal cells continue to multiply and release to the surface, eventually these cells mature, become lifeless stratum corneum and fall off. When the hair is very healthy, the fallen cells are in the form of powder that we cannot easily detect, and dandruff is not visible. But when there is a problem with the hair, the epidermis cannot be fully restored, so it falls off in pieces, which is dandruff.

The occurrence of simple dandruff may be due to the following reasons: dry sebaceous gland overflow. There are many sebaceous glands in the skin, which will constantly secrete sebaceous glands to prevent water evaporation and protect the skin. If there are too many sebaceous glands in the hair, the fallen cells will be attached to the hair, and after drying, they will become broken dandruff. The main reasons for excessive sebaceous gland secretion are emotional anxiety, poor diet, alcoholism, endocrine imbalance, etc. In addition, it is related to vitamin deficiency, basic metabolic disorders, or the hair is stimulated by cosmetics, hair dyes, medicines, scratching, pulling, etc. So, what should you do if you have dandruff during breastfeeding?
