Itchy scalp
Most people acquire dandruff at some point in their lives, however it is more common from adolescence through middle age. The most likely causes include seborrheic dermatitis, allergic reactions, psoriasis, and eczema. An response to Malassezia, a yeast that develops on the scalp, is one of the causes of seborrheic dermatitis. Age, weather, stress levels, medical conditions, and hair product selection are all factors that increase the probability of developing dandruff.
Dandruff is more common in those who have oily skin. The explanation is that a yeast called Malassezia globosa feeds on scalp oils. Because some people's systems interpret oil breakdown as an irritant, the scalp responds by increasing the rate at which skin cells regenerate, resulting in dandruff. If you have a severe case of dandruff, you most likely have a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis (SD). SD is a chronic kind of eczema that affects the parts of the body that secrete the most sebum, or oil.
