Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by the flaking of the skin on the scalp, often accompanied by itching. These white or yellow flakes can sometimes be visible on the hair or shoulders, and the condition can cause embarrassment or discomfort, though it is generally not a sign of a severe medical issue. The exact cause of dandruff isn't fully understood, but it is believed to be related to an overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia that naturally lives on the scalp. Factors that can contribute to dandruff include oily skin, infrequent shampooing, stress, cold and dry weather, and sensitivity to hair care products, which can lead to scalp irritation.
Treatment for dandruff focuses on reducing the flaking and managing any underlying scalp conditions. Over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos containing ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, salicylic acid, or coal tar can help control the yeast on the scalp and reduce flaking. Regular use of these shampoos, followed by thorough rinsing, is essential for effectiveness. For mild cases, frequent washing with a gentle shampoo may be sufficient to reduce oiliness and remove excess skin flakes. In more severe cases, a dermatologist may prescribe stronger medicated shampoos or topical treatments. Additionally, lifestyle changes like reducing stress, eating a balanced diet, and minimizing the use of hair styling products can help manage dandruff and prevent flare-ups.
