Having a dry, itchy scalp can be really frustrating, and finding the best treatment for you isn’t always easy. Order Dermax for seborrheic dermatitis online with us and we’ll make sure you’re getting the best treatment for your needs.
Dermax therapeutic shampoo is an antiseptic treatment for dry, scaly scalp conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by red scales, itching and plaques typically found near oily regions, like the scalp and face. There is no known cause for it, but it’s thought that hormones, increased sebum levels, and impaired immune response towards Malassezia (yeast) lead to its formation. Seborrheic dermatitis is usually treated with antifungals and steroids, but antiseptics such as Dermax can treat mild cases.
Dermax contains the active ingredient benzalkonium chloride, which has a part that’s positively charged. When applied to the scalp, it binds to the dry scales on your scalp and loosens them. Dermax also contains sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES), where SLES is negatively charged. When lathered, the dry scales (that are now positively charged) become attracted to LES and are removed. Benzalkonium chloride is also an antiseptic, killing microbes and preventing infections.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
To use Dermax, follow the instructions below:
Dermax should be applied daily until your condition improves. After this, reduce it to once or twice a week and, eventually, use it occasionally to prevent reinfection. If you don’t see any improvement after four weeks, stop using it and talk with our clinician about the next steps.
Dermax comes in a 250ml white bottle, and that’s the only version that’s currently available. Another product called Dermax psoriasis treatment spray is different to Dermax shampoo, it’s not a similar treatment or made by the same company.
