What is dandruff?

Dandruff, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that primarily affects the scalp, causing flaking, itching, and sometimes redness. It's not contagious and isn't caused by poor hygiene, but it can be embarrassing and persistent.

What are the symptoms of dandruff?

The main symptoms are white or yellowish flakes on the scalp, hair, and shoulders, along with an itchy scalp. In some cases, the scalp may also be red or greasy.

How is dandruff treated?

Treatment typically involves using over-the-counter medicated shampoos that contain ingredients like zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, or coal tar. In more severe cases, a doctor may prescribe stronger shampoos or topical medications.
