Scalp Itching and Dandruff: How QICAOGANGMU Helps Seborrheic Dermatitis

by Ava Huang 30 Mar 2025 0 comments

Seborrheic dermatitis affects millions, especially on the scalp. It causes redness, flakes, itching, and discomfort. Often confused with dandruff, it's a persistent inflammatory condition influenced by fungal imbalance, stress, and oily skin.

QICAOGANGMU (奇草钢目) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal cream formulated to relieve these symptoms. It combines centuries-old herbal wisdom with modern care to deliver natural, steroid-free relief for seborrheic dermatitis.

Why Does Seborrheic Dermatitis Happen?

  • Fungal imbalance: Overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp
  • Excess oil: Stimulates inflammation and scaling
  • Stress and immunity: Trigger flare-ups and poor healing response
