Dry Dandruff
Dry dandruff is a common scalp condition manifested by the presence of fine, white flakes—accumulated dead skin cells that detach easily and are often visible on shoulders. It may be accompanied by itching or a feeling of scalp tightness, without signs of inflammation. The scalp appears dry, dull, and rough.
Dandruff results from an accelerated process of epidermal desquamation. In affected individuals, basal skin cells reach the outer layer (stratum corneum) twice as fast, leading to abnormal proliferation and accumulation of keratinized cells, which cluster into visible flakes.
The exact cause of dry dandruff is not fully understood, but contributing factors include:
- Environmental conditions: Dandruff often worsens in winter.
- Hormonal imbalance: First signs typically appear in puberty and peak by age 30, during heightened sebaceous activity.
- Microbiological imbalance: Individuals with dandruff often show increased presence of Malassezia furfur, a fungus that makes up to 75% of the scalp microbiome.
- Physical or emotional stress.
- Diet and alcohol consumption.
Targeted care can help regulate desquamation, calm the scalp, and restore its natural balance.
