Seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as dandruff, is a common skin condition that causes flaking, redness, and itchiness, primarily on the scalp, face, and upper chest. It occurs due to an abnormal reaction to the naturally occurring yeast Malassezia and can be influenced by factors such as stress, weather changes, and certain medical conditions. While dandruff can develop at any age, it is more common in adults and infants, ranging from mild flaking to more severe irritation.
Managing dandruff typically involves medicated shampoos along with topical treatments like corticosteroids or antifungal creams to reduce inflammation and control yeast overgrowth. Since dandruff often follows a cycle of flare-ups and remissions, long-term management is usually needed rather than a one-time cure.
