The appearance of dandruff on the scalp can be frustrating, as it affects the appearance due to itchy red patches and white flakes.

It is even worse when dandruff partially falls onto the shoulders.

Dandruff is not an exception and not a disease. Therefore, there is no need to be embarrassed about it. It can appear periodically in every second person. However, teenagers and men suffer from it more often.

Trichologist Anastasia Kurskaya spoke with aif.ru about why exactly the problem appears.

As the specialist noted, it is impossible to become infected with dandruff.

It also does not affect health, but it can be the result of some disorders in the body.

For example, this could be a decrease in immunity, problems with the endocrine system, seborrheic dermatitis, as well as stress and poor nutrition.

In addition, as Kurskaya emphasized, dandruff can occur if inappropriate hair care products are chosen, and sometimes even hats.
