Scaling and flaking on your scalp? Have you ever wondered if it’s really dandruff? Firstly go see you dermatologist who will correctly analyze your scalp and get you to a diagnosis. Conditions that cause flaking on your scalp can be: 1. Dry scalp - where you will feel the scaling coming on immediately the day you wash your hair, this can happen if your scalp loses too nuch moisture because of the styling, heat or even products used 2. It could also be a milieu of your scalp secretions and dirt that occurs if you haven’t washed your scalp over 4-5 days and collects in your nail on scratching 3. Dandruff is when after 2-3 days of hair wash you get a greasy, itchy, irritated scalp with redness and flaking that might even come off on your shoulders 4. Seborrheic dermatitis which can involve your perinasal area, the eyebrows and sometimes even the beard 5. Sebopsoriasis, a combination of seborrhea and psoriasis which affects the scalp at different areas or over the hairline and nape of the neck The correct way to get rid of dandruff would be using an anti- dandruff shampoo continuously for 10 days or a stay on lotion and tablet for more chronic cases which can only be prescribed by a dermatologist.
