WHAT IS DANDRUFF?
Dandruff is the shedding of the skin on the scalp that leads to white flakes on the head. Common symptoms of dandruff include white flakes of dead skin in your hair and on your shoulders and an itchy, scaling scalp. Your scalp can be either excessively dry or oily.
CAUSES OF DANDRUFF?
Dandruff can be caused by many things, such as:
• Seborrheic dermatitis – A common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp.
• Psoriasis/Eczema – A skin disorder causing a buildup of dead skin cells.
• Malassezia – A yeast-like fungus that can be found on the scalp of all people. In most people malassezia is not problematic, but sometimes it grows rapidly. The result leads to your scalp producing more skin cells and falling off into the form of white flakes.
• Not shampooing often enough – Regularly wash your hair to avoid the buildup of oils and skin cells on your scalp.
• Dry skin is the most common cause of itchy, flaking skin.

Unfortunately there is no cure. Dandruff is a chronic condition, meaning there are no cures for dandruff. However, with the help of Denorex®, you will be able to manage and control your dandruff.
