Dandruff

Dandruff, clinically referred to as pityriasis capitis, is a common, chronic, non-inflammatory scalp condition positioned at the mildest end of the seborrheic dermatitis spectrum These mechanisms accelerate epidermal proliferation and turnover, producing defining clinical features of diffuse, uninflamed desquamation characterized by visible white-to-gray flakes, often accompanied by mild pruritus without marked erythema

Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by epidermal barrier dysfunction, sebaceous lipid secretion, and an individual cutaneous response to metabolites produced by commensal *Malassezia* yeasts
