Anti Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. It often leads to visible flakes on the scalp and hair, along with itching and irritation. Dandruff can be caused by various factors, including:

1. Fungal Overgrowth: Malassezia fungus, which naturally resides on the scalp, can proliferate and contribute to dandruff when overactive.

2. Dry Scalp: Insufficient moisture or excessive dryness of the scalp can lead to flaking and dandruff.

3. Sebum Production: Excessive oil (sebum) production on the scalp can create an environment conducive to dandruff.

4. Sensitive Skin: Individuals with sensitive skin or certain skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis) may be more prone to dandruff.

Common Signs and Symptoms

The typical signs of dandruff include:

White or yellowish flakes on the scalp, hair, or shoulders.

Itching and irritation of the scalp.

Dryness or greasy patches on the scalp.
