The most common cause of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition impacting the oiliest parts of the skin – scalp, T zone, ears, and even skin folds. Evaluation includes a thorough scalp exam, assessment of an individual’s triggers (seasonal, illness, stress, and under or over washing of hair), discussion of proper scalp/ skin care & choice of cleansing agents. Prescription solutions, shampoos and creams are sent when appropriate.
