How to get rid of dandruff: Scalp experts share treatment tips and potential causes
Fox News
Scalp and skin experts reveal how people can treat dandruff, what causes the condition, what kind of shampoo to look for — and when to visit a doctor for it.
Alexia Donovan, director of client services at the Barber Surgeons Guild, a hair restoration and grooming lounge with locations in New York City and Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital that she’s been helping patients and clients address dandruff and scalp health for 14 years. Dandruff, also known as Pityriasis capitis, is a non-inflammatory skin condition that results in scalp scaling, according to the National Institutes of Health. "Sometimes the flaking and itching that appears like dandruff is actually a medical condition." Cortney Moore is an associate lifestyle writer on the Lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
"Several factors can contribute to dandruff — dry skin, psoriasis, oily scalp and fungus are the more common causes," said Donovan, who is based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
