In this guide, we’ll explore the causes of dandruff, common symptoms, effective treatment options, and how our clinic can assist you in achieving long-term relief.

Understanding Dandruff

Dandruff is a chronic scalp condition that results in the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp, leading to visible flakes and itching. While dandruff is not contagious or harmful, it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable for those affected. Common characteristics of dandruff include.

  • Flaky Scalp: The presence of white or yellowish flakes on the scalp, hair, and shoulders, particularly noticeable when brushing or combing the hair.
  • Itching: Itching or irritation of the scalp, often accompanied by redness or inflammation.
  • Oily Scalp: Excessive oiliness or greasiness of the scalp, which may exacerbate dandruff symptoms.
  • Scalp Sensitivity: Sensitivity to certain hair care products or environmental factors that can trigger or worsen dandruff.

Causes of Dandruff

Dandruff can be caused by various factors, including

  • Malassezia Yeast: The overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus that naturally resides on the scalp, can lead to inflammation and increased shedding of skin cells, resulting in dandruff.
  • Seborrheic Dermatitis: Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the scalp, face, or other oily areas of the body, often accompanied by dandruff.
  • Dry Skin: Dry scalp skin can lead to flaking and itching, especially in cold or dry climates or during the winter months.
  • Sensitivity to Hair Care Products: Certain hair care products, such as shampoos, conditioners, or styling products containing harsh chemicals or fragrances, can irritate the scalp and contribute to dandruff.
  • Poor Hygiene: Infrequent shampooing or inadequate scalp hygiene can allow oil, dirt, and dead skin cells to accumulate on the scalp, leading to dandruff.
