What is dandruff?

Dandruff occurs, essentially, when small bits of dry skin are shed from the scalp. The pesky flakes are seen in your hair or on your shoulders. Dandruff may make your scalp itchy, too but it’s a very common issue. Dandruff is quite tricky to define because it overlaps with seborrheic dermatitis (a chronic form of eczema) and other skin conditions that lead to a scaly scalp.

Research says that approximately 50% of adults suffer from dandruff and that’s it more common for males.

What causes dandruff?

Dandruff can happen for several reasons: Seborrheic Dermatitis – If you have a particularly bad case of dandruff, it’s likely a mild case of seborrheic dermatitis (SD), SD is a chronic form of eczema that impacts areas of the body that secrete the most sebum, or oil.

People with oily skin are often more prone to dandruff where a yeast called Malassezia globosa feeds on oils on the scalp. Often our body recognises this yeast as an irritant so the scalp reacts, increasing the speed at which skin cells renew and shed, causing dandruff.

For extreme cases the reason is that it generally takes a whole month for new skin cells on the scalp to mature, die, and shed. But for those with dandruff, this process occurs in as little as two to seven days.

It can also be caused by:

Contact dermatitis where skin irritation caused by either an allergen or an irritant, resulting in an itchy, possibly painful rash. And in the case of dandruff, that reaction is on the scalp. This generally occurs due to hair-care products or technical products
Dry skin when the seasons change, the cold winter air can also cause dandruff, the flakes are usually smaller and less oily than the flakes caused by SD (cold and dry climates can also worsen SD
Shampooing habits – for those who are already at risk for dandruff, washing infrequently can worsen the condition, a build-up of oil can lead to dandruff
Age dandruff often begins at puberty and peaks around age 20
Hormones such as testosterone stimulate activity in the sebaceous glands; more oil means an increased chance of an inflammatory reaction and dandruff
Weakened immune system SD due to medical procedures and viruses
Neurologic and psychiatric conditions like Parkinson’s, dementia and brain and spinal cord injury are prone to dandruff
History of other skin disorders – having had eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or acne can trigger or worsen seborrheic dermatitis
Oily skin – if you have naturally oily skin, you’re at an elevated risk for seborrheic dermatitis
