Why can medicated shampoo be male and female? Do not doctors prescribe special female or male antibiotics or antipyretics? Has anyone seen a pharmacy asking for special male antispasmodics? Hormonal drugs - which is natural - are divided into male and female. But is dandruff different for men and women too?

The fungal flora that causes dandruff in people of different sexes is the same, but the skin is different in structure.

Derma of men:

• two or even 3 times denser and thicker than the female;
• sweat and sebaceous glands are larger, there are more of them;
• the level of acid-base balance is higher.

If women have pH from 5 to 5, 5, then in men from 5, 4 to 5, 7. Because of this, men are more vulnerable, and fungal flora of various etiologies is activated in them more often.

For the treatment of dandruff for men, it is better to buy a special medicinal shampoo, but sometimes a universal detergent may also work. The cure largely depends on the individual reaction of the body.

Anti-dandruff shampoos for men

The composition of medicinal hygiene products should contain the following medicinal components - not necessarily together:

• ketoconazole;
• zinc;
• tar;
• sulfur;
• selenium sulfide;
• salicylic acid.

These drugs are not suitable for continuous use - they are applied in a course. Before purchasing a remedy, it is necessary to determine the type of scalp - even the best shampoo will not be able to help if it is designed to combat high fat content, and the dermis is prone to dryness.

Usually men do not pay attention to such "little things", and get annoyed when they see that "the medicine has not helped." If possible, you need to provide a choice of anti-dandruff shampoo for men, effective and good, for women.

Detergent "Clear Vita ABE" effectively cleanses the skin from the exfoliated epithelium and is suitable for dry skin.

Universal detergents

Shampoos from this list, which have not included many other products for men, are not necessarily suitable for treating dandruff. Maybe the best shampoo is a universal cleanser that is suitable not only for men and women, but also for children.

The most popular and effective anti-inflammatory drug is Nizoral. It is active against several species of fungal flora - Microsporum sp., Candida sp, Trichophyton sp., Epidermophyton sp.
