In the past when the economy was underdeveloped, people mainly used soap to clean their skin, and later evolved into soaps, facial cleansers, body wash and so on.
I don’t know since when, soap has gradually returned to everyone’s life. Especially in recent years, sulfur soap has become very popular. There are rumors that it can effectively control oil, protect the scalp, and prevent hair loss.
The so-called sulfur soap refers to a soap that adds sulfur ingredients to the soap base , which shows a yellow color. It is different from ordinary soap, this is one of the medicinal soaps. The soap base with added sulfur ingredients produces hydrogen sulfide and pentachlorosulfonic acid during bathing, which in turn has a bactericidal effect.
Bathing and washing your hair with sulfur soap can remove dandruff and relieve itching, inhibit sebum secretion, and kill some pathogens. It also has certain preventive and auxiliary therapeutic effects on some skin diseases.
Simply looking at the efficacy of sulfur soap, it can not only be used on the skin, but can also be used to wash your hair. Sulfur soap mainly targets the following scalp problems:
1, dandruff
Dandruff is a product of the metabolism of epidermal cells on the human head. The dry dead cells appear scaly or thin-skinned , which is normal. It will automatically shed , which is physiological dandruff.
However, dandruff may also be caused by pathological factors, such as mite infection, bacterial infection, atopic dermatitis, etc., which are common factors. In this case, the patient can follow the doctor's advice and choose sulfur soap for treatment, which has a certain bactericidal effect; Itch, it is also a relatively common chronic skin inflammatory change. Young adults are the most susceptible age group. The incidence rate in men is significantly higher than that in women.
The scalp is the common site of seborrheic dermatitis. It is also the main cause of pathological dandruff. Because sulfur soap has the effect of inhibiting sebum secretion, patients with seborrheic dermatitis can use sulfur soap to wash their hair;
3, scalp itching
There are many reasons for scalp itching. In addition to hair care products that are not clean, fungi Or bacterial infection, mite breeding, etc. are all common causes of headache.
If you change shampoo many times and the itching symptom is still not relieved, and the itching becomes unbearable soon after washing your hair, you can try to use sulfur soap to clean it. It has strong disinfection and sterilization capabilities and can effectively relieve the scalp. Itching symptoms;
4, improve hair loss
The important thing to mention here is seborrheic alopecia, which is called androgenic alopecia or premature baldness. The most typical symptoms of patients are that the scalp oil secretion is strong and the hair feels greasy, which cannot be relieved by washing the hair every day, and the patient will suffer from hair loss symptoms, which will continue to worsen with age.
In this case, patients can use sulfur soap to wash their hair, which can effectively inhibit the secretion of oil and keep the scalp in a refreshing state.
It should be emphasized that sulfur soap has a much lower concentration than of sulfur acid used clinically, but it is still not recommended for patients to use it continuously for a long time and should be used intermittently. When you start taking the medicine, you can clean it twice a day. After the symptoms are relieved, you need to start to extend the interval between use and gradually stop taking the medicine to avoid causing side effects to the body.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the essence of sulfur soap is a kind of medicated soap . It is not suitable for everyone, and different people have different reactions after taking the medicine.Therefore, you cannot blindly decide whether it is suitable for use and how to use it. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and arrangements, first undergo examination and diagnosis, and then take medication according to the doctor's advice.
