It is very common around the time after puberty age and can affect both men and women.  It is also hereditary in families. Most people will have dandruff in their lifetime, but there are some individuals who have an excessive amount of dandruff accompanied by redness and irritation. This type of dandruff can destroy a person's self-esteem and confidence. There are several facts that people do not understand about dandruff.

  • Dandruff may be worse during winter time.
  • Dandruff can be common among people with a weakened immune system or chronic illnesses (HIV/PARKINSONS).
  • Increased oil production, oily skin, oily scalp, sweating, yeast skin infections and emotional distress can trigger draduff. Dandruff can potentially cause hair loss. Although this is very rare, if this occurs, seek professional help immediately.





WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF DANDRUFF?
  • Itchy and oily scalp, resulting in flakes.
  • Dandruff in every portion of your body that has hair. 
  • Rashes found on the skin throughout the body.
  • Currently there is no known cure for dandruff, only treatment with shampoo.
