Let's talk about what really causes dandruff so you can completely get rid of it once and for all.

0:06.2

The problem with dandruff is that it kind of goes in and out of remission for years.

0:11.1

And of course they have shampoos, they have topical creams that do include, you know, zinc and selenium and coltar,

0:20.1

but there's some slight minor side effects like hair loss hair

0:24.2

thinning gray hair rashes so to get rid of a health problem you have to really understand it and

0:30.8

the associated pieces connected to it so let's kind of go through the list seborreic dermatitis

0:37.0

dermatitis is inflammation of the skin.

0:39.4

And seborreic has to do with producing sebum, which is the oil in the skin.
