Dandruff

What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes visible flaking, often accompanied by itching or irritation. It may be related to oily skin, dry skin, seborrheic dermatitis, or other factors affecting the scalp.

What specialist do I need to treat dandruff?

The appropriate specialist is a dermatologist, particularly when dandruff is persistent, severe, or accompanied by redness, inflammation, itching, or hair loss. A dermatologist can identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

When should I see a specialist for dandruff?

A medical evaluation is recommended when flaking does not improve with usual care, keeps returning, or is accompanied by intense itching, redness, skin lesions, or hair loss.
