Does Momecutan work on oily dandruff?

At the outset, it should be noted that Momecutan is a prescription-only drug, so the doctor should decide about its inclusion in therapy. It is the doctor who decides whether to treat the patient m.in based on the history of the disease and the previous response to treatment. So please follow the recommended dosage regimen. Momecutan is indicated for the treatment of inflammation and itching of the scalp, e.g. psoriasis. It will not eliminate the causes of dandruff, but it will work symptomatically, eliminating persistent itching and inflammation. You should also avoid using it in excessive amounts or for a long time, as this can lead to side effects such as weakening of the skin, reduced skin elasticity and, in the case of the scalp, also potential hair problems. The main cause of dandruff is the excessive growth of the Malassezia fungus (mainly M. restricta and M. globosa). If you want to effectively get rid of dandruff, it is worth using a complementary treatment: - fungicides - they are the most effective and most often recommended, because they fight the cause of dandruff, not just the symptoms. They usually come in the form of shampoos, but there are also emulsions for the scalp. The most popular substance in such preparations is ketoconazole, but you can also find m.in climbazole, pyroctone olamine, cyclopirox. Shampoo of this type should be used 2-3 times a week, for a period of 4 weeks. After application to wet hair, it should not be rinsed off immediately, but wait a few minutes for it to work. After this time, the preparation must be rinsed thoroughly. If, after undergoing a full course of treatment, the symptoms of dandruff are still visible, you should consult a doctor.
