FAQ about dandruff

What are the main causes of dandruff?
The primary causes of dandruff include the proliferation of the fungus Malassezia, an accelerated cellular renewal of the scalp, excessive sebum production, or factors such as stress and an unbalanced diet.
Can stress cause or exacerbate dandruff?
Yes, stress can trigger or exacerbate dandruff by disrupting the balance of the scalp and promoting inflammation and the proliferation of the fungus Malassezia.
Can dandruff lead to hair loss?
Dandruff does not directly cause hair loss, but the itching and inflammation it causes can weaken the scalp, promoting temporary hair loss.
Why do dandruff cause itchiness?
Dandruff causes itching due to scalp irritation, often caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Malassezia which releases irritating fatty acids by breaking down sebum.
What is the difference between dry dandruff and oily dandruff?
Dry dandruff is thin, white, non-adhesive, and easily falls from the hair, while oily dandruff is thicker, yellowish, sticky, and often remains attached to the scalp due to a significant presence of sebum.
