Is It Dandruff Or A Dry Scalp? Here's What You Need To Know

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Keep in mind, dandruff shampoo is NOT recommended if you only have dry scalp.

[@TACCRUSHERR]

What do you do then? I’ve been using dandruff shampoo and my scalp has still been flaky as I rub my head

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

@@TACCRUSHERR There are other treatments, starting with a conditioner, rather than shampoo. Using shampoo too frequently will also dry out your scalp. You need to keep oils in your hair to keep your scalp from drying out.

[@MedicalCentric]

@alexwilkinson7533 Washing your hair twice a week and gently massaging the scalp can promote healthy hair and scalp, but it may not "make it go forever" if you're referring to issues like dandruff or other scalp conditions. Regular washing can help remove excess oil and dirt, and scalp massages can improve circulation, which is beneficial for hair growth and scalp health. However, if there are persistent scalp issues like dandruff, hair loss, or irritation, it's best to consult with a dermatologist for specific treatment options rather than relying solely on washing routines.

[@dkwhattouseasusername1012]

Is it possible to have both?

[@MedicalCentric]

Yes, it is possible to have both dandruff and a dry scalp, although they are distinct conditions with different causes and characteristics. Dandruff is often associated with an overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia on the scalp, leading to increased shedding of skin cells, which appear as white flakes. On the other hand, a dry scalp results from the lack of sufficient moisture, causing itching and flaking. In some cases, people may experience a combination of factors, leading to both conditions concurrently. For instance, a dry scalp may occur due to environmental factors, such as cold weather or excessive use of harsh shampoos, while dandruff may be triggered by the presence of the Malassezia fungus. It's important to identify the primary cause to choose the most effective treatment. Using a moisturizing shampoo for dry scalp and an anti-dandruff shampoo for dandruff may be recommended. If you are unsure about the specific condition of your scalp, consulting with a dermatologist can help determine the appropriate course of action for effective treatment.

Use scalp soothing moisturizer

[@jashanarora17]

Okay, so here is what will most likely work for you: - At night, wash hair with water *every day* - Follow up with a conditioner; rinse off after 5 mins. - Use a moisturizing cream / serum afterwards. (Little is enough if you have short hair) Tip: Never, NEVER let your wet scalp air dry. When you put water on skin/hair, and then if it naturally evaporates, it takes away the surrounding water molecules from your scalp/skin too, making it more dry. ALWAYS pat dry your wet hair and and apply something (serum / moisturizer) on damp hair. Shampoo only at most 2x a week.

It sounds like you might be dealing with dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause dry, itchy scalp and white flakes. Dry, split ends and an itchy scalp can also be signs of overall dryness or damage. To address these issues, consider using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for dry or flaky scalps. Regularly applying a gentle, hydrating scalp treatment or oil might help, and avoiding excessive heat styling or harsh hair products can reduce further damage. If symptoms persist, consulting a dermatologist can help determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

@Khadej. It sounds like you might be dealing with seborrheic dermatitis (SD), which often causes flakes on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and around the nose. It can also cause dryness and itchiness, especially on the scalp, while your face may remain oily. Using an anti-dandruff shampoo is a good start, but it might not always fully resolve SD if it's more severe.

dry scalp with bad smell and itches 😢 How can I treat it?

[@MedicalCentric]

It sounds like you might have dandruff, especially due to the bad smell and itching. Dandruff often involves a fungus on the scalp, leading to an oily, itchy scalp with flaking. To treat it, use anti-dandruff shampoos containing ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide. Regular washing can help reduce oiliness and remove flakes. If your condition doesn't improve or worsens, it's important to see a dermatologist for a more specific diagnosis and treatment.

[@mayarpapayar]

[@MedicalCentric]

@mayarpapayar It sounds like you might be dealing with a combination of dandruff and a dry scalp. The white flakes and itchiness, especially around your hairline and the back of your head, are common symptoms of dandruff, which can be caused by an overgrowth of yeast or a sensitivity to hair products. However, the dryness you describe might also indicate a dry scalp, possibly exacerbated by not moisturizing enough. It might be helpful to try a moisturizing shampoo or treatment specifically for dry scalp while continuing with the anti-dandruff shampoo. Consulting a dermatologist could give you more personalized advice and a definitive answer.

@lindamonteith5580 It's frustrating when dandruff shampoo doesn't fully clear up the flakes. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find the right product for your scalp. You might want to try a different dandruff shampoo with active ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or coal tar, which can be more effective for certain types of dandruff. Also, be sure to leave the shampoo on your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing to allow the ingredients to work. If the problem persists, it could be helpful to see a dermatologist for personalized advice. They might recommend a stronger treatment or help identify any other underlying causes.

I need help to figure out what is going on??? Is the shampoo/conditioner moisturizer affecting my hair?? Do u have dandruff or dry scalp? I thought I had dandruff but when I saw this video well I’m guessing I have a dry scalp but I don’t get it because I’m using a moisturizer shampoo. Someone please help am so confused 😢 And also I wash my face with products that have moisturizer so I’m not sure anymore if I have dandruff or dry scalp.

I think you have dry scalp. But the cause of your increased flakes seems to be that shampoo. I have a dry scalp all the while I thought I have dandruff. I have those white flakes and that itches if o dont wash my hair more than 2 days and shampoo once in a week. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner and use it once or twice a weak. And oil your head 3 times a week. Keep changing your pillow cover and bed cover within a week it will be good if you change pillow cover twice a week. And dont forget to wash your comb regularly in 2 days. This is how I control my dry scalp. But I'm not any doctor please consult a dermatologist. I just shared my tips with you. Hope it helps. ❤

I have dry scalp so far . But there are red skin on my hairline . What's that??

[@MedicalCentric]

The red skin on your hairline could be due to various reasons, such as irritation, inflammation, or an allergic reaction. It's important to consider factors like the products you use on your hair and scalp, as well as any recent changes in your routine. To determine the cause and address your specific condition, consult with a healthcare professional or a dermatologist for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment, whether it's related to dry scalp, dandruff, or another skin condition.

@WilliamLance-d2s Dandruff can be a persistent issue, but there are various treatments available that can help, such as medicated shampoos containing ingredients like zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole. If Phyllis Manor is dealing with dandruff, it might be worth trying different remedies or consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice. Consistent care and the right products can usually manage it effectively.

any shampoo recommendations for dry scalp anyone???😭

[@MedicalCentric]

For dry scalp, I recommend a hydrating shampoo containing ingredients like tea tree oil or salicylic acid to soothe and moisturize. ❤️

So right now I'm fucking wasting my time with soap and water.

[@MedicalCentric]

Using soap and water alone isn't the most effective way to treat dandruff, as it's often caused by an oily scalp, yeast overgrowth, or skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. To better manage dandruff, you might want to try a medicated shampoo that contains ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione. These shampoos target the underlying causes of dandruff and can provide more effective relief. It's worth giving one of these a try to see better results!

[@parabellum4622]

@@MedicalCentric So I may not have to go to the hospital. 😳 Okay thanks ☺️

[@MichaelJeffrey]

Go to a pharmacy. Ask for ketoconazole 1% or 2%. If they don't have it, ask for an alternative antifungal dandruff wash. Wet hair, massage into scalp. Leave for 30mins (instructions say 3mins. 30mins is better) Wash out with an off-the-shelf anti-dandruff shampoo. Rinse. Do it again in 2-3 days. Do this for a few weeks and you'll be a new person! 👍😉 Taper off using it as much until you strike the right frequency for you. 👍 Thank me later 👍😉

[@MedicalCentric]

@MichaelJeffrey Ketoconazole is indeed a powerful antifungal treatment for dandruff, and using it as you've described can be very effective. Leaving it on longer than the instructions suggest can sometimes enhance its effectiveness, but be sure to monitor your scalp for any irritation. Combining it with an anti-dandruff shampoo and adjusting the frequency over time sounds like a solid plan for long-term control. It’s great advice for anyone struggling with persistent dandruff-thank you for sharing! 👍😉
