Dandruff, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that affects the scalp and can be both irritating and embarrassing. It is usually characterized by redness, flaking, and itching of the scalp. But there are effective ways to manage this and care for your scalp gently and effectively. Here are some detailed tips and advice for taking care of your scalp when you have seborrheic dermatitis.
What is seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a common skin condition caused by a combination of genetic factors, excessive sebum (oil) production on the scalp, and an overgrowth of a fungus called Malassezia. It often leads to redness, flaking, and itching on the scalp and can also occur on the face and other parts of the body.
