How can I get rid of dandruff?
An anti-dandruff shampoo can help manage visible flakes. Use it consistently according to the instructions, massage it into the scalp and rinse thoroughly. Dandruff can return, so ongoing scalp care may be needed rather than a one-off wash. Avoid scratching or using products that irritate your scalp. Ask a pharmacist for advice if symptoms persist, and see your GP if your scalp is very itchy, red or swollen, or you have patchy hair loss.
What causes dandruff?
Dandruff is commonly associated with the scalp's response to Malassezia yeast, which naturally lives on the skin, and with scalp oil and skin-cell shedding. It is not simply a sign of poor hygiene. Dry skin, sensitivity to hair products and conditions such as seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis can also cause scalp flaking. A pharmacist or clinician can help if you are unsure what is causing your symptoms.
Dandruff versus dry scalp: what is the difference?
Both can cause flakes and itching. Dandruff often involves larger or oilier flakes and may occur on an oily scalp, whereas dry scalp tends to involve smaller, dry flakes and a feeling of dryness or tightness. These signs can overlap and are not enough to diagnose the cause. Dry scalp may benefit from gentler hair care and avoiding irritating products, while dandruff may need an anti-dandruff shampoo. Seek professional advice if flaking persists or is accompanied by redness, soreness, thick patches or hair loss.
