Dandruff - Introduction - What is Dandruff?

Definition:

Dandruff is a form of dermatitis which is caused by overgrowth of yeast that results in dryness, itchiness, and flaking in your head. It is caused due to the overworking of sebaceous gland (glands which keep the skin properly oiled).

Dandruff is a very common mild skin condition that produces white flakes that may shed and fall from the hair. In other words, dandruff is the excessive flaking of dead skin that forms on the scalp. Most cases of dandruff can be treated with specialized anti-dandruff shampoos or many common home remedies.

Dandruff may be a very embarrassing condition, which can happen to any person of any sex and age - but is most common in people of age group 12 to 80.
