There are 5 major types of dandruff explained below:
Fungal malassezia, a natural component found on skin and scalp, survives on excessive oil. It leads to the build-up of skin cells, which fall as white flakes. You may try medicated anti-dandruff shampoos with the ingredients pyrithione zinc and ketoconazole, which will help kill this yeast.
This type of dandruff is caused by too much sebum oil on the scalp and an overgrowth of malassezia yeast. The excess oil can cause the formation of dead skin cells and dirt in the form of itchy flakes. The major reasons behind the sebum oil secretion are stress and anxiety. Increasing the shampooing frequency can reduce the amount of oil on your scalp and slow down the yeast development.
Seborrheic dermatitis affects about 42% of infants on their face and in the diaper area. When it gets to their scalp, it’s called cradle cap. Commonly, it looks like red-yellow plaques with thick, greasy scales and tends to develop in their first three months of life. Usually, children don’t get dandruff until puberty, when the oil glands in their skin begin producing more oil.
Facial hair usually grows in the same areas where seborrheic dermatitis flares up, such as around your mouth, under the nose, and sideburns. Shampooing your facial hair with the same shampoo you use for your head hair can help avoid beard dandruff. In most cases, you can treat it without shaving off your mustache or beard. However, if you frequently experience beard dandruff, you might have to use an over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoo to clean the region.

Excessive loss of moisture or oil on your skin leads to the development of flakes and itching on the scalp. Ageing skin, dry weather, and reactions to certain hair care products can cause dryness in the scalp.

Still haven’t found the solution?
080-6541-4496 Call us nowThe itching and inflammation caused by the dandruff may lead to hair damage and breakage over time. Although dandruff doesn’t directly cause hair fall, it weakens hair follicles and causes physical trauma from scratching.
Keeping the scalp clean, through regularly washing your hair, and using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid, managing stress levels, and using a proper anti-dandruff treatment helps in reducing and managing the dandruff.
Although there is no permanent treatment for dandruff, the symptoms can be effectively managed through managing stress levels, taking care of your hair and scalp, using fewer styling products, keeping the scalp clean, and using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients such as ketoconazole or salicylic acid.
No. Dandruff is not caused by bacteria or viruses and can not be passed from person to person. Consult the best dermatologist in your Delhi for the most effective dandruff treatment.
Several studies have suggested that the overgrowth of Malassezia, a type of yeast, is one of the primary causes of dandruff development. Malassezia feeds on the oil produced by the skin and lives naturally on the skin. Also, when the skin is irritated, it produces more oil and skin cells to help soothe the irritation.
Sensitivity to the ingredients in your hair care products is one of the primary causes behind skin irritation. Harsh weather can also make the skin dry. Other skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, may make your skin more irritated. Excess oil on the skin means more food for the yeast, allowing it to overgrow. Usually, the extra skin cells die and fall off, but they get mixed with the extra oil and yeast on your head, which sets off a cycle that leads to the dandruff development.
The following preventative measures will help in addressing the dryness of the scalp.
