Dandruff is one of the most common scalp concerns and can cause visible flakes, itching, dryness, or scalp irritation. Although it is usually manageable, persistent dandruff may sometimes be associated with conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. Dr. Alisha can evaluate your scalp and recommend treatment according to the underlying cause.
It may be accompanied by itching and can become more noticeable during periods of stress, seasonal changes, or when the scalp becomes oily or irritated.
Treatment may include medicated shampoos, topical medications, scalp-care recommendations, or other treatments depending on the cause and severity. Your dermatologist can recommend the appropriate frequency and duration of treatment.
Not necessarily. Dandruff can occur due to several factors, including scalp oil production and sensitivity.
Dandruff itself does not usually cause permanent hair loss. However, significant inflammation or frequent scratching can contribute to temporary shedding.
Dandruff can often be controlled effectively, but it may recur. Consistent scalp care and appropriate treatment can help manage flare-ups.
