Dandruff refers to the flaking of the scalp skin, often visible as white or yellowish particles that fall onto clothes. While it may seem like a hygiene issue, it's often linked to skin conditions or other internal factors.
Common causes include improper shampoo use, harsh hair treatments, stress, unbalanced diet, and sudden climate changes. Some people may also experience dandruff due to seborrheic dermatitis — a skin condition affecting oil gland function and cell renewal.
In such cases, dead skin cells accumulate quickly and combine with oil, forming visible clusters. The scalp may feel itchy or irritated.
Effective treatment involves gentle scalp care, choosing the right shampoo, and avoiding triggers like hot water or aggressive chemicals. In more serious cases, dermatologist-prescribed treatments may be necessary.
