• Dandruff, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, is caused by multiple factors including excessive oil production.
• It can also be triggered by a specific type of yeast called Malassezia that thrives on the scalp.
• Poor hygiene, infrequent shampooing, and overuse of hair products can exacerbate the condition.
• Stress, hormonal imbalance, and certain medical conditions such as psoriasis and eczema may contribute to dandruff as well.
• Treating dandruff often involves the use of specialized shampoos containing antifungal or anti-inflammatory ingredients.
• Regular cleansing, maintaining proper scalp hygiene, and reducing stress levels can help prevent dandruff.
