01
What it is
Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes visible flakes and may also make the scalp feel itchy. Mild dandruff can often be managed with regular cleansing and an appropriate dandruff shampoo.
Persistent flaking can sometimes overlap with other scalp conditions, so recurring, irritated or difficult-to-control symptoms deserve proper assessment.
02
What can dandruff look like?
Dandruff can appear differently depending on scalp condition, oiliness and the severity of flaking.
White or light-coloured flakes may appear between the hair or fall onto clothing.
Flaking may be accompanied by repeated itching or mild scalp discomfort.
Dandruff may improve temporarily and then return without an appropriate maintenance routine.
Some people experience visible flakes together with scalp oiliness or greasy roots.
The scalp may feel tight or uncomfortable even when the flakes are not caused by simple dryness.
Oil, flakes and hair products can sometimes make the scalp feel congested or difficult to cleanse.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some symptoms may suggest a scalp condition beyond uncomplicated dandruff.
Significant scalp redness or inflammation
Thick or firmly attached scale
Pain, sores, crusting or discharge
Patchy hair loss or broken hairs
Flaking that does not improve with appropriate dandruff care
03
What to expect
Scalp assessment
Your flakes, scalp oiliness, irritation and overall scalp condition are carefully evaluated.
Personalised treatment planning
Suitable cleansing, dandruff shampoo or other scalp treatment is selected according to your clinical findings. Dandruff shampoos use different active ingredients to address flaking and itching.
Maintenance & follow-up
Recurring dandruff may need an ongoing scalp-care routine to help keep flakes and itching controlled.
04
Physician note
Dandruff treatment should focus on the scalp condition—not simply on removing the flakes you can see.
When symptoms repeatedly return, the important step is to distinguish ordinary dandruff from inflammation, dermatitis or another scalp condition that may require different treatment.
