What exactly is dandruff? 

Well, it’s a common scalp condition characterized by flaking skin. It’s not something contagious or particularly serious, but it can definitely be embarrassing and a bit tricky to deal with. For mild cases, a medicated shampoo might be sufficient. However, it’s worth noting that even if symptoms clear up initially, they may come back later on. Essentially, dandruff is considered a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis.

What are the symptoms of Dandruff?

What are the symptoms of Dandruff?

  • White, oily-looking flakes of dead skin appear on your scalp and in your hair.
  • Itchy scalp, which may be accompanied by redness and irritation.
  • Dryness or tightness of the scalp.
  • Flakes that may fall onto your clothes or shoulders are especially noticeable when wearing dark clothing.
  • 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.

What are the causes of Dandruff?

Dandruff, those pesky white flakes that appear on the scalp and sometimes on clothing, can be caused by a variety of factors. Here are some common causes:

Dry Skin: One of the most common causes of dandruff is dry skin. When the scalp becomes dry, it can lead to flaking.

Seborrheic Dermatitis: This is a common skin condition that causes red, itchy, and flaky skin. It often affects the scalp and can lead to dandruff.

Malassezia: This is a type of fungus that lives on the scalp of most adults. However, for some people, it can irritate the scalp and lead to dandruff.

Not Shampooing Enough: If you don’t shampoo your hair regularly, oils and dead skin cells can build up on the scalp, leading to dandruff.

Sensitivity to Hair Care Products: Some people may be sensitive to certain ingredients in hair care products, such as shampoos or hair dyes, which can irritate the scalp and lead to dandruff.

Certain Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions like psoriasis or eczema can also cause dandruff-like symptoms.

Stress: While it’s not a direct cause, stress can exacerbate existing skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, leading to dandruff.

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.
