Dandruff
Overview of Dandruff
Dandruff is a common condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake. It isn’t contagious or serious. But it can be embarrassing and difficult to treat.
Mild dandruff can be treated with a gentle daily shampoo. If that doesn’t work, a medicated shampoo may help. Symptoms may return later.
In medical terms, it is called pityriasis capitis. Shedding skin is a normal phenomenon of the body as skin cells die and flake off. White flakes or scales are visible as dandruff when there is excessive shedding of dead cells.
