What information should I share with my doctor before using Civaderm Shampoo?
Before using Civaderm Shampoo, inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies or are allergic to any medications, as this can help prevent potential interactions or adverse effects.
Is hair loss a possible side effect of using Civaderm Shampoo?
No, Civaderm Shampoo does not cause hair loss. Regular use may reduce dandruff and the chances of associated hair loss.
How should I use Civaderm Shampoo if I have dry and brittle hair?
Civaderm Shampoo is intended for scalp treatment only. To minimize potential irritation, apply it as a scalp treatment, allowing it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water. Follow up with your regular shampoo and conditioner routine.
What are the risks of leaving Civaderm Shampoo on my skin or hair for too long?
Leaving Civaderm Shampoo in contact with your skin or hair for more than the recommended duration may cause irritation or a burning sensation. Be sure to rinse it off promptly and thoroughly as directed.
Can dandruff lead to baldness?
No, dandruff itself will not cause baldness. However, if left untreated, severe dandruff can lead to increased itchiness, causing you to scratch your scalp excessively. This may result in temporary hair loss due to the trauma of scratching, but it is usually reversible with proper treatment and care.
Can stress contribute to scalp conditions like dandruff?
Although stress is not a direct cause of dandruff, it can trigger different scalp conditions, including dandruff. Managing stress through healthy habits and self-care can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.
