Dandruff is the most irritating disorder of the scalp, characterized by an itchy scalp, flaking of scales from the scalp, and sometimes, when dandruff increases, the scalp may shed off in the form of layers of skin. This condition is not contagious.
Dandruff mostly occurs due to unhealthy lifestyles. In India, most people are prone to using oil on the scalp, which is a predominant cause of dandruff. If someone has dandruff and continues to use oil on their scalp, the problem can worsen.
Sometimes dandruff persists in the form of seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis, where the patient experiences extreme itching over the scalp, redness, and dead cells that come off in layers. This condition is more severe and requires immediate medical attention.
At HairElixir, we carefully analyze each case of dandruff with the help of a digital microscope. We then pinpoint our diagnosis and provide the proper management guidelines for the scalp and appropriate medications. more
