Help treat scalp conditions with Rueber’s Tricosystem range
Many different conditions can affect our scalp. Scalp conditions can range in severity from allergic reactions and minor infections to more serious health conditions.
Some of the more common scalp conditions include psoriasis, dermatitis (or eczema) and hair loss.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that occurs when the skin grows too rapidly. Scalp psoriasis can cause flushed, flaky, and itchy patches of skin to appear. The skin can be dry, and the surface can crack and bleed.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of eczema that resembles psoriasis, mainly affecting the scalp. It causes scaly patches, inflamed skin and stubborn dandruff. It usually affects oily areas of the body and a person may also experience itchiness or discomfort.
Using scientific technology, Rueber Laboratory have developed the Tricosystem range of specialist products to help treat the scalp and restore the hair shaft. View theTricosystem treatment plans for a range of hair conditions here.
