00:00Doctor, is it true that March comes and that there is a broom with the casp?
00:03There is a broom.
00:04The stress of starting the year, the classes, going back from the holidays, leave it buried.
00:09We have it every day in the consultancy.
00:11It would be the month of the casp, March.
00:13Men and women?
00:14Men and women.
00:15Men and women.
00:16Doctor, and let's see, well, there are different types of casp too.
00:19Yes, look, we generally differentiate the dry casp, the greasy casp, because as the name says,
00:26the greasy casp is more greasy, it turns yellow and generates more clots.
00:29Yes.
00:30While the dry casp is like a white, thin snow.
00:34Of course, of course.
00:35But in addition to the stress, what other factors cause the casp?
00:39Look, this is a super important question, because many people think that the casp is due to poor hygiene.
00:45But no, it has nothing to do with that.
00:47In fact, I can wash my hair four or five times a day and I will continue to have a casp.
00:51Yes.
00:52So here it is super important, attention, washing your hair regularly is important,
00:57once a day or it can be an average day, but washing is not the solution.
01:02The casp is produced because we all have a fungus in the scalp called malassezia.
01:07Yes.
01:08And this malassezia eats the greasiness that we have on the skin and that generates inflammation and casp.
01:14Perfect.
01:15We have myths and truths, doctor.
01:17Attention and keep sending us your questions on WhatsApp.
01:19Let's go, do you think?
01:20Let's go with the first myth.
01:21There it is on the screen.
01:22Let's see, you have to say myth or truth, doctor.
01:25The casp is contagious.
01:27Myth.
01:28Myth.
01:29False.
01:30Yes.
01:31This is super important because with all the skin infections, people are afraid to go near people who may have a casp.
01:38I had a casp and no.
01:39What happens is that this is super frequent.
01:41Between 5 and 10% of the population has a casp.
01:44And we all have this fungus.
01:46So what happens?
01:47Malassezia, if you give it the conditions to grow, it will give you a casp.
01:51So we are all potentials.
01:54We can all potentially have a casp.
01:56That's why there are studies that say that 50% of the population could have a casp.
02:00Or have some at some point in their life.
02:02No.
02:03Well, we have another myth and truth.
02:05You tell us myth or reality.
02:07Let's see, there it is on the screen.
02:09The casp only affects the scalp.
02:13Myth.
02:14Myth.
02:15Although it is indeed one of the most frequent sites and where I see it the most as a casp,
02:20the dermatitis seborreica, which is the disease that this casp produces,
02:24can also affect the face.
02:26Mainly the nasogenic furrow, the eyebrows and the area of the beard.
02:29The eyebrows.
02:30Yes, I was surprised when I read about the eyebrows.
02:33Yes, notice that many people consult us not for a casp on the face,
02:36but because this looks like a pink salmon color and with a little bit of a casp.
02:41So the person asks, today I have a red face,
02:43I have the furrow, the furrow here, red, as if I have inflammation.
02:47And that, I tell you, is dermatitis seborreica.
02:49Doctor, we are already getting questions, even a photo arrived.
02:52Let's see, let's see it.
02:54Star of...
02:55Let's see.
02:56Hello, I've been suffering from a casp for about a year, always trying everything.
02:59I get headaches and the itch is so big that I break my scalp.
03:05It's not a white casp, it's a big casp.
03:07And she sent us a photo, doctor.
03:09Let's see if you can tell us.
03:11There it is.
03:12Ah, of course.
03:13Well, first, always the most important thing that I tell all my patients,
03:17because in dermatology we receive many photos,
03:19is that the most important thing is to go with your dermatologist to an evaluation in person.
03:25Because the casp may be a sign of other diseases or it may not be just a casp.
03:30From what this patient tells us, the truth is that I think that his picture is rather moderate,
03:35because he tells us that he has a lot of discomfort, a lot of itching,
03:38and it is no longer just a little bit of a casp, but it is a cast.
03:41That tells us that it is probably a greasy casp.
03:44And what I would recommend to this patient, in addition to going to his doctor,
03:47is that he has to try with shampoo for the casp, such as this Dercos shampoo.
03:52Now we are going to talk about Dercos, but I also want to reinforce that ...
03:55Ah, we have another question!
03:57And first, thank you, Estrella de Rancagua, who sent us that photo.
04:00We have another question, doctor.
04:01Let's see.
04:02Hello, I have a caspous psoriasis. Any recommendation?
04:06Ah, well, here again, the most important thing is to go see a dermatologist,
04:11because this is another chapter of dermatology.
04:13It also looks like a casp, but this is a disease.
04:16So yes, use anti-casp shampoos, but if it is psoriasis,
04:20psoriasis can be a little more rebellious,
04:23and it could be that it requires other tools with medical indication.
