“…People with sensitive scalps must pay greater attention to scalp health than those with non‐sensitive scalps, and using mild and low‐anionic surfactant products is recommended. Coacervates created with some scalp products cause irritation when they interact with water as a result of their particle structure; if they remain as a residue on the hair follicle or pores and then expand with water, this can help contaminants to penetrate and induce irritation …”

Background The scalp care market is growing rapidly and research into the factors associated with sensitive scalp is performed in many countries. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has examined the factors triggering sensitive scalp in Korean women. Thus, the aim of our study was to establish objective standards for sensitive scalp, investigate factors that trigger this condition, and determine the ratio of sensitive scalp in Korean women. Methods A total of 125 Korean adult women participated in the study. The participants answered the questionnaire, had their scalp temperature measured, and the sensitive scalp condition was evaluated and analyzed. Results Compared to the non‐sensitive scalp (NS) group, the sensitive scalp (SS) group had a significantly higher average temperature and increased heat sensation, dandruff, erythema in the scalp, past history of atopy, history of hair loss, medical history of scalp disease, concern for scalp care, and interest in mild products and frequency of use. The majority of participants in the SS group had a dry scalp, and itching was common. Conclusion This study may help us to understand the characteristics of the sensitive scalp in Korean females and determine factors associated with triggering a sensitive scalp.

“…Shampoo is one of the most suitable formulations for topical therapy and management of scalp psoriasis [5]. Kobayashi et al [6] found that proper hair washing improved scalp condition symptoms, and possibly the underlying etiology in patients with psoriasis; simple hair-washing techniques generally improved scalp conditions and decreased levels of the inflammatory markers IL-1 ra/IL-1α in the horny layer [6]. …”

Purpose of the Study: The aim of the present prospective multicenter open study was to clinically and instrumentally evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a shampoo, Mellis Cap® shampoo, containing ichthyol, zanthalene, mandelic acid, and honeydew honey in the treatment of mild to moderate scalp psoriasis. Procedures: Thirty subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis applied the shampoo three times a week for 12 weeks. The outcome was evaluated at 30 days (T1), 60 days (T2), and 90 days (T3) of treatment, comparing it to baseline (T0) by means of clinical and patients’ evaluation, digital photographs, and videodermoscopy. Results: Clinical and patients’ evaluation showed improvement of scalp psoriasis and itching. This was confirmed by videodermoscopy analysis with a significant reduction of scalp psoriasis severity at T2 and T3 compared to baseline. No side effects were observed or reported. Conclusions: Study treatment was well tolerated and showed significant clinical and instrumental improvement of scalp psoriasis. Mellis Cap® shampoo is a good alternative to other medicated shampoos in the treatment of mild to moderate scalp psoriasis.

“…Concomitantly to the analysis of IL-1α and/or IL-1RA, 9 articles used tape stripping to sample additional cytokines and chemokines (20-23, 34, 36-38, 40). The additional measurement of the total protein content on the tapes was used as a biomarker of the cohesiveness of the SC (20,27,36,40,41).…”

Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and its receptor antagonist IL-1RA play a pivotal role in skin homeostasis and disease. Although the use of biopsies to sample these cytokines from human skin is widely employed in dermatological practice, knowledge about less invasive, in vivo sampling methods is scarce. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of such methods by systematically reviewing studies in Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library using combinations of the terms "IL-1α", IL-1RA", "skin", "human", including all possible synonyms. Quality was assessed using the STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. The search, performed on 14 October 2016, revealed 10 different sampling methods, with varying degrees of invasiveness and wide application spectrum, including assessment of both normal and diseased skin, from several body sites. The possibility to sample quantifiable amounts of cytokines from human skin with no or minimal discomfort holds promise for linking clinical outcomes to molecular profiles of skin inflammation.
