Explanation of Common Hair Related Problems
Dandruff– It is basically flaking of the scalp. When we see a normal scalp, it has few flakes and has smooth skin.
Dandruff can be identified by patches of loosely adherent flakes. It is associated with great itching. When this condition progresses, it results in seborrheic dermatitis, so these flakes are more greasy with a yellow color. It is also associated with inflammatory changes like redness of patches, greasy skin, along with redness around nasal folds, ears, eyebrows, and chest.
