Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes flaking of the skin on the scalp, often accompanied by itching, dryness, or irritation. It occurs when the natural renewal of skin cells on the scalp speeds up, causing dead skin cells to shed more quickly and visibly. One of the most common causes of dandruff is a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia, which lives on the scalp and can trigger inflammation or excess oil production. Other contributing factors include dry skin, sensitivity to hair products, poor hygiene, stress, and certain skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. While dandruff is not contagious or serious, it can be persistent and affect self-confidence if left untreated.

1.White or Yellow Flakes
– Noticeable flakes of dead skin on the scalp, hair, shoulders, or clothing.

2.Itchy Scalp
– Persistent itching, especially in dry or irritated areas of the scalp.

3.Dryness or Tightness
– A feeling of tight, dry skin on the scalp.

4.Redness or Scalp Irritation
– Inflamed, red patches often seen in more severe cases.

5.Greasy Patches on the Scalp
– Oily, scaly areas particularly behind the ears, on the eyebrows, or around the nose (in seborrheic dermatitis).

6.Scalp Sensitivity
– Tenderness or discomfort when touching or combing the scalp.

7.Worsening in Cold or Stressful Conditions
– Symptoms may flare up during winter months or under stress.

Sometimes, the scalp may feel greasy or oily.These symptoms can vary in severity and may come and go over time. If you’re experiencing persistent dandruff or severe symptoms, it’s a good idea to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Dandruff is mainly caused by an imbalance in the scalp’s natural processes—whether it’s excess oil, dryness, or fungal growth. It can result from a combination of internal and external factors, ranging from skin conditions to lifestyle habits.

1.Fungal Overgrowth (Malassezia)
– A natural yeast on the scalp can overgrow and irritate the skin, causing flaking.

2.Dry Scalp
– Lack of moisture leads to small, white flakes and scalp itching, especially in cold weather.

3.Oily Scalp & Seborrheic Dermatitis
– Excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells, creating greasy yellowish flakes and redness.

4.Sensitivity to Hair Products (Contact Dermatitis)
– Harsh shampoos or styling products can inflame the scalp and trigger dandruff.

5.Infrequent Hair Washing
– Leads to buildup of oil, dirt, and dead skin cells that flake off.

6.Skin Conditions
– Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis often cause dandruff-like symptoms.

7.Stress & Hormonal Imbalance
– These can affect oil production and immune function, increasing susceptibility.

8.Nutritional Deficiencies
– Lack of zinc, vitamin B, or omega-3 fatty acids may contribute to scalp issues.

Understanding the cause of your dandruff can help you choose the most effective treatment. If over-the-counter shampoos aren’t helping, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
