Rain has always infatuated all of us, All the human race, has a great craving for rainy season, being a season of delight it's also life pouring for an agricultural country India.
But the season issues ticket to many health Skin and Hair problems, which need special care and cure.
Most commonly the Skin becomes too moist and oily, paving way for Dandruff and other Seboric conditions, one must take a very special care of the Skin and hair in the season.
DANDRUFF - Dandruff becomes very common in rainy season, as increased moisture and sweat, makes favourable conditions for fungal colonies to thrive, the first Symptom---is itchy scalp, more so in the nights, this is soon followed by irritation an small multiple pus points over the scalp, this is associated with moderate to severe Hair Loss, this usually is the time when a patient really starts bothring himself.
Fungal Infection can also come from your Old long used caps , or Helmets too, you should change them regularly, so as your pillow covers.
Frequently travelling individuals must mind the Hygiene of the back head support, you should never be hesitant in asking for a new cover from the Air Hostesses.
SHAMPOO - Frequency of using shampoo should be increased by One and a half times to Two times in the Rainy season, as the moisture, heat /temperature and sebum ( natural oil of skin )all are increased this season, and thus as a Specialist I advocate more use of the Shampoo.
THOSE WHO HAVE PETS --For all those who harbour pets, at our places, there are more cautious to be exercised than others, usually do not let your pet wet too much, wash hands two times with Carbolic Soap, after cuddling your pet, as his/her skin, is harbouring lot more of bacteria and fungus, in this season.
THE INDIAN DIABETIC --Diabetic should be more careful than the general population, all they are more prone to catch infections of fungal /bacterial origin,and they are difficult to treat as well, if infected.
They should keep their Hair, Skin and Arm pits, usually Dry, they can use telcum and antifungal powders, where ever possible. They should not neglect any symptoms.
THE GERIATRIC /OLD--An attitude, that I have gone old, and I am shy to visit, an expert, in spite of hair loss and Skin problems, is not correct, and needs to be left.
THE EXTENDED TELOGEN --Like in trees, the human body /scalp also shows Autumn season, (like plants shed leaves, once a year ),we also shed, our Older hair, but our cycle may be less or more than Once a year, if you some how get a Telogen phase, in the rainy seasons, it's going to be worse than other seasons.
Kindly treat your hair well, they make you look good and add to your face value, boost your self esteem, and enjoy a marvellous Monsoon this year.
