Here’s How to Tell the Difference and Treat Accordingly

Dandruff and dry scalp may seem similar, but they’re actually entirely different problems. The ways they present can look and feel like each other, so how are you to know which one is the problem? In order to fix it, you’ll need to know what you’re dealing with. To help you understand dandruff vs dry scalp, we spoke to several experts. Ahead, learn everything you need to know so you can tell the difference between them.

What Is Dandruff?

According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Blair Murphy-Rose, dandruff is a chronic condition—often considered to be a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis—that waxes and wanes over time. In its most obvious form, dandruff presents itself as noticeable white flakes. 

“Dandruff is caused by an elevation of fungus on the surface of the scalp,” says William Gaunitz, a certified trichologist. “The main difference between dandruff and a dry scalp is that dandruff is an actual medical condition, whereas a dry scalp is simply a hydration issue,” he says.

What Is Dry Scalp?

While both dryness and dandruff can make your scalp itch and lead to flaking, a dry scalp isn’t necessarily a chronic condition and can be improved by making simple adjustments to your hair care routine. “Dry scalp may improve with less frequent shampooing,” says Gretchen Friese, a BosleyMD certified trichologist. She notes that it is possible to have both dry scalp and dandruff, which is why most people find it difficult to tell the difference between the two.

Dandruff Causes and Symptoms

Dandruff Causes

Dandruff is often associated with “dirty scalps” and an overall idea of “poor personal hygiene,” when in reality, it can happen to anyone.  Here’s how:

• Overactive sebaceous glands and fungal growth: “The cause of dandruff is not entirely understood but it is often associated with excess oil production and an overgrowth of fungus, particularly Malassezia sp, on the scalp,” Murphy-Rose says. “The scalp contains an abundance of hair follicles with sebaceous glands that produce large amounts of sebum—an oily substance—creating an ideal environment for fungi to thrive in.” And when you pair that fungi with excess oil, microscopic dead skin cells that would normally slough off unnoticed, stick together in clumps that present themselves as tiny-yet-noticeable white flakes. Scalp fungus is totally normal and it’s typically controlled by the immune system, adds Gaunitz. “There are certain causes that lower the scalp immune state, like low vitamin D3 or ferritin, genetic history, an inflammatory diet, aggravating hair and scalp products, or allergies,” he explains, noting that all of these factors can play into whether or not fungus will thrive on your scalp.  
• Stress: While the main cause of dandruff is the aforementioned fungal growth, the Mayo Clinic reports (and NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Robyn Gmyrek agrees) that stress can take a toll on your scalp health as well, and thus can be another culprit in the war against white flakes. “This ‘stress’ can be psychological—such as relationship trouble—work deadlines, etc… or it can be physical stress on your body, such as having a cold, fighting an illness, having surgery, or simply being run down,” she says.

Dandruff Symptoms

• Itchy scalp and/or eyebrows
• Noticeable white flakes
• Potential redness

The most common sign of dandruff is when you start to notice white flakes falling from your scalp to your shoulders and back as you brush or tousle your hair. Of course, before such flakes appear, all of our experts say that itchiness will likely present itself first. 

Dry Scalp Causes and Symptoms

Dry Scalp Causes

• Inability to produce or retain moisture
• Excessive washing
• Irritation from haircare products
• Sunburn
• Climate

According to Friese, a dry scalp occurs the same way that dry skin does: When it doesn’t produce or retain enough moisture. “Like other forms of dry skin, this can cause itching, flaking, and irritation,” she says. It’s important to understand that you can wash your scalp’s hydration down the drain if you shampoo it too regularly. What’s more, what you wash it with can also lead to drying—that’s why it’s so important to use well-formulated haircare products designed to hydrate your strands without weighing them down, not strip them. 

Products and showering aside, Murphy-Rose says that climate (think: seasonal and year-round; high levels of heat or cold, and low levels of humidity) and excessive sun exposure, and genetics can also lead to a dry scalp.

Dry Scalp Symptoms

• Itchy scalp
• Dry hair
• Small, barely-there flakes

According to Marina Perkovic, a stylist and scalp expert at Eliut Salon, very small flakes may occur as a result of extreme dryness, just as they can appear on your face during the harshest seasons of the year.

Prevention and Treatment

Dandruff

1. Use a medicated shampoo: Gmyrek says to reach for a shampoo formulated specifically for dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis at least two times a week. “These shampoos contain salicylic acid, ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide, and will work to decrease oil and fungus, and flakes as a result,” she says.
2. Up your omega-3 Intake: According to Gaunitz and experts running the Cedars Sinai medical blog, omega-3s help to regulate oil production,which can in turn reduce the amount of fungal growth and flaking. 
3. Take vitamin D supplements: Speaking of supplements, Gaunitz adds that one of the best ways to prevent dandruff is to take vitamin D3 supplements. This makes sense considering, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, vitamin D helps slow the rate of rapid skin cell growth—which can be a factor in more extreme cases of dandruff and psoriasis.
4. Stock your hair care routine with tea tree oil: As Cedars Sinai points out, tea tree oil is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, making it a great option for scalp rebalancing. Thankfully, these days it’s mixed into a slew of hair treatments, shampoos, conditioners, and masks.
5. Try meditation (and/or exercise): Seriously though. High levels of stress can trigger dandruff and excessive flaking. As if you need another excuse to zen out, let this be it. Just remember: The calmer you are, the less likely a dandruff flair will be.

Dry Scalp

1. Try a pre-shampoo scalp treatment: When your scalp is dry, it needs all the help it can get to feel comfortable again. One of the best ways to do this is to start your hair care routine with a product designed specifically for your scalp’s comfort and wellbeing—like Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C. Happi Scalp Scrub ($36). This scrub is designed to gently exfoliate the scalp while deeply hydrating it with marula and mongongo oils. Simply apply it to dry hair twice a week before hopping into the shower, let it work its magic for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and shampoo and condition as normal.
2. Use a moisturizing, gentle shampoo and conditioner: Since a dry scalp can be in part due to irritation, swapping out any harsh shampoos and conditioners for ultra-gentle ones can seriously pay off. When looking for gentle shampoos, you’ll want to steer clear of fragrance and essential oils and veer toward hydrating, soothing ingredients like aloe vera and oat milk.
3. Eliminate products with alcohol as the main ingredient: Many hair care products are made with alcohol. It’s when alcohol is the main ingredient that it’s particularly worrisome. For this reason, when scouring for the best hair care products for your mane goals, make sure none of the ones you make room for in your routine have alcohol in the first five to 10 ingredients. Your scalp (and ends, honestly) will thank you.
4. Wash less often: Remember, you can wash your scalp’s natural oils away if you shampoo too frequently. That said, try to wash no more than every other day when attempting to cater to your scalp—and always use lukewarm (not scalding hot) water when doing so. While the temperature may not seem like a big deal, when it comes to the hydration of your scalp and skin, the hotter the water, the more dried out they’ll both become. Yikes. (Pst: Apply Head and Shoulders Soothing Leave-On Scalp Cream after each shower. It’s designed to make the time between washes more comfortable.)
5. Add a humidifier to your home: Part of having a dry scalp comes down to the climate you live in. If you live somewhere super dry—or if it’s summer or winter (aka the driest times of the year—it helps to have a humidifier to pump a little moisture back into your environment. While there are plenty of humidifiers to choose from, the Dyson Pure Humidify+Cool is the first machine to date to be recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) as a solution for people with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and/or individuals living with severely sensitive skin. Since psoriasis involves flaking skin—and since dry skin is associated with sensitivity—this machine is a shoo-in for anyone looking to pamper their scalp. 
6. Try Probiotics: You can help balance the flora of your skin or your scalp with probiotics, and many body care products now contain them. Balancing the flora of your scalp can lead to it retaining moisture more efficiently. There are hair products made that contain probiotics, and you also may benefit from taking them internally. Taking a complex that contains additional ingredients useful for hair, skin, and nails can provide beneficial nutrients for your scalp.

When to See a Doctor

When dandruff progresses from a mild to extreme form, Gmyrek says that it can cause skin cells to multiply more quickly than usual, which results in heavier flakes, persistent itching, noticeably more inflammation, and, in some cases, redness. When this happens, what started as a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis can excel into a more serious form. But don’t worry! According to Gmyrek, the inflammatory condition is incredibly common and not super difficult to treat. However, if it’s been a month and you feel like you’ve tried everything and your symptoms aren’t getting any better, it’s best to visit your dermatologist for directions on how to proceed.

The Final Takeaway

Dandruff and a dry scalp are often mistaken for one another but, at the end of the day, they have their own unique traits. The best way to care for either condition should it arise is to remember to treat your scalp like the rest of the skin on your body: With daily attention and loving care.

Have you ever caught yourself brushing a field of white flakes off your shoulders? If so, you are not alone. Dandruff is very common, and, despite the old wives’ tale, it is not due to not washing your hair. Here we will discuss the many causes, symptoms, treatment options, and ways to prevent those pesky white flakes.

Approximately 50 million Americans and 50% of the adult population worldwide suffer from dandruff (Borda, 2015). Dandruff is a common scalp condition in which small pieces of dry scalp skin fall off in flakes. It can also cause a scaly, itchy scalp. It usually starts during puberty, peaks in your 20s, and is less common over 50 years old (Borda, 2015). 

Dandruff is related to another skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis. In fact, some people consider them to be the same essential condition but varying in severity. 

In seborrheic dermatitis, the skin condition affects more than just the scalp—the face, behind the ears, and the upper chest can also be involved. When it occurs on the scalp of infants, it is commonly called a “cradle cap.” In addition, visible skin inflammation, redness, and itching are common in seborrheic dermatitis. Typically, you don’t have skin inflammation with dandruff (Borda, 2015).

Many people assume dandruff is a sign of poor hygiene or not shampooing enough—it’s not! Scientists don’t know what causes dandruff, but several factors make you more prone to having it, including the presence of fungal colonization, the oiliness of your skin, and your personal tendency toward dandruff. It is not infectious or contagious. 

The skin fungus Malassezia lives on the skin of people both with and without dandruff. However, people with dandruff seem to be more sensitive to the fungus. Studies found that the Malassezia fungus causes a breakdown in the skin barrier of the scalp and triggers an inflammatory response and the characteristic flaking (Borda, 2015).

As mentioned, dandruff is related to seborrheic dermatitis, and it turns out that both conditions are affected by the oiliness of your skin. You have oil glands (sebaceous glands) in the skin over most of your body, but you produce the most oil (sebum) in the scalp, face, and chest (Borda, 2015).  

The amount of sebum that your sebaceous glands produce is also related to hormonal changes. This goes along with the age-related pattern seen in dandruff. Your sebum production increases in puberty and into your 20s and then decreases after age 30–60, mirroring the pattern of dandruff appearance (Borda, 2015). 

However, people with dandruff can have normal sebum production and vice versa; the relationship between skin oils and dandruff is not a straightforward one (Ranganathan, 2010). 

One theory is that the increased oil in some people with dandruff makes it easier for the Malassezia fungus to grow (Borda, 2015).

Several other factors, like skin barrier health, immune system response, emotional stress, and genetics—among others—may also play a role in developing dandruff. Some believe that scalp irritation due to over-shampooing and the use of certain hair products can cause dandruff, but research has yet to prove these assumptions (Ranganathan, 2010).  

Dandruff is most common in puberty, peaks in your 20s, and then decreases as you age. It is more common in men than in women and may be related to male hormones called androgens. 

Common risk factors for dandruff include (Borda, 2015):

• Genetics
• Oily skin
• Fungal colonization with Malassezia fungus
• People with changes in skin barrier function
• Stress
• Nutrition
• Immune system function

The incidence seems to vary among different ethnic groups in the United States, with the highest percentage of dandruff found in African Americans (81–95%) followed by 66–82% in Caucasians and 30–42% in those of Chinese descent (Borda, 2015). 

Dandruff is also seen in higher frequencies in people with weak immune systems, like those with HIV/AIDS. People with Parkinson’s disease and other neurologic diseases like traumatic brain injury are more likely to have dandruff (Borda, 2015).

The main signs and symptoms of dandruff are white oily flakes throughout your scalp and hair. Sometimes your scalp will itch, but you don’t usually see redness or inflammation. Dandruff can spread to your hairline, eyebrows, and behind your ears (Borda, 2015). 

Symptoms may get worse in the winter when your skin is drier (Ranganathan, 2010).

While annoying (and sometimes embarrassing), dandruff can be treated and controlled. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the most effective dandruff treatment is using dandruff shampoos and scalp treatments (AAD, n.d.). Talk to your dermatologist about your dandruff to develop a treatment plan that is right for you. 

Not all anti-dandruff shampoos are created equal—if you suffer from dandruff, you should use a medicated shampoo that contains one or more of the following active ingredients (Ranganathan, 2010): 

• Salicylic acid: Salicylic acid decreases scaling and prevents skin cells from clumping together to form flakes, allowing them to wash away.
• Sulfur: Sulfur works by preventing skin cell clumping and via its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
• Zinc pyrithione (sometimes called pyrithione zinc): Zinc pyrithione helps dandruff through its antibacterial and antifungal properties. It also helps improve sebum production.
• Tar: Coal tar shampoos decrease flakes by slowing how quickly your scalp cells die and turnover. By reducing flakes, they may also decrease Malassezia colonization.
• Selenium sulfide: Selenium sulfide is an antifungal medication that works against the Malassezia fungus, contributing to dandruff in some people. 
• Ketoconazole: Ketoconazole (brand name Nizoral) is an antifungal drug that improves dandruff by killing the dandruff-causing fungi Malassezia. This is available both over-the-counter and by prescription. 

If one shampoo doesn’t work for you, try one with a different active ingredient. Sometimes a shampoo will work for a few weeks and then lose its effectiveness. Again, trying a different type of dandruff shampoo may help. 

Home remedies have not been studied as extensively as the anti-dandruff shampoos and scalp treatments. Some popular options include tea tree oil, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and stress reduction (Borda, 2015).  

It is challenging to prevent dandruff completely, but there are some things you can do to decrease your risk of having those annoying white flakes. 

• Shampoo regularly—especially if you have oily hair—to decrease the oil build-up. However, if you over-shampoo, you will strip your scalp of the necessary oils, and you can develop dry skin along with an itchy, flaky scalp. According to the AAD, if you have dandruff and are Caucasian or Asian, shampooing daily and using dandruff shampoo twice a week may be beneficial. If you have dandruff and are African-American, limit shampooing to once a week using a dandruff shampoo (AAD, n.d.). Talk to your dermatologist if you have questions about how often you should be shampooing.
• Manage your stress.
• Make sure to follow the instructions on the dandruff shampoo bottles. Some require you to leave them on the scalp for several minutes, while others need immediate rinsing.
• Limit your hair care products, as they can build up in your hair and scalp, increasing skin oiliness.

Since there are so many over-the-counter options for dandruff, most people give some of them a try before making an appointment to see their healthcare provider. However, if your dandruff and itching don’t improve with anti-dandruff shampoo, see your dermatologist for an evaluation. They can advise you regarding how often you should be shampooing, which shampoos to use, etc.

If you have any medical questions or concerns, please talk to your healthcare provider.

I have dandruff. Why and what to do about it? — Meduza

1

What happened?

50% of people have had dandruff at some point in their lives. At the same time, the head may itch, and white or yellowish dandruff flakes remain in the hair and on the shoulders. In general, sheer discomfort, both physical and emotional. Why dandruff appears and how to get rid of it, we understand together with the manufacturer of Mycozoral shampoo.

2

Is dandruff due to poor hygiene?

No, this is a myth. But if a person does not wash their hair regularly and at the same time he already has dandruff, the problem may become more noticeable. One of the most common causes of dandruff is seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff is one of the signs of the mildest and most common form of this inflammatory skin disease: a person has redness and itching of the scalp, and there may not be any other symptoms. In more severe cases, dandruff is formed in large flakes and not only on the scalp, but on the face and body, the skin can be very itchy, and crusts and plaques appear on its surface.

There are other causes of dandruff. For example, an allergic reaction to hair dye or styling products (contact dermatitis) and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can lead to this. Dandruff can also appear due to dry skin. In this case, the skin particles are usually smaller, and the skin is dry not only on the head, but also on the arms or legs.

3

What causes seborrheic dermatitis?

Not entirely clear. It is believed that the development of seborrheic dermatitis is associated with an increased sensitivity of the immune system of some people to type 9 fungi.0021 Malassezia . These microorganisms are on the skin of most people and especially love areas in which the sebaceous glands are concentrated (these include the scalp, face, chest, back). At the same time, the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis may worsen due to stress or during the cold season.

4

And what to do?

Depends on the cause of dandruff. So, seborrheic dermatitis in adults is usually a chronic disease, and long-term supportive treatment is needed to keep its symptoms normal. To manage dandruff in mild seborrheic dermatitis, special over-the-counter shampoos can be used. These include products with selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, as well as tar shampoos and shampoos with ketoconazole. Mycozoral is just such a shampoo, it has an antifungal effect, and also reduces redness of the scalp and itching. The active substance of Mycozoral is ketoconazole, it helps to improve the condition of the skin with seborrheic dermatitis due to the fact that it reduces the number of type 9 fungi0021 Malassezia furfur .

5

How to use these shampoos correctly? The more often the better?

Shampoo is usually used daily or two or three times a week. After you have applied the shampoo, it is important to wait a few minutes before rinsing off. Plus, it is important to know that the effect of treatment does not appear immediately, but after four to six weeks.

6

What about supermarket shampoos that say “for dandruff”?

It is not known for sure if these shampoos are effective in treating dandruff. But if it has just appeared, then you can try to start with a mild shampoo. It will help cleanse the scalp of sebum and may reduce the formation of dandruff flakes, making it less favorable for fungus to thrive.

7

My grandmother once recommended vinegar to me! She said that dandruff brought out dandruff to her grandfather

Qualitative studies confirming the effectiveness of, for example, vinegar or calendula decoction for dandruff do not exist. In one small experiment, scientists found that tea tree oil can reduce dandruff. But, in their opinion, in order to finally confirm this fact, more research is needed.

8

How to understand that everything is bad and it’s time to see a doctor with your dandruff?

It’s time to see a doctor if you’ve been washing your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo for more than four weeks and it doesn’t get better. Or the skin is very itchy, there is redness or swelling. In addition, you will definitely need to consult a doctor if you have a weakened immune system due to an illness (for example, HIV) or medication (chemotherapy).

Mycozoral OTC Medicated Shampoo helps fight dandruff, redness and itching. Mycozoral is available in 60 and 150 ml bottles. You can buy Mycozoral shampoo in Russian pharmacies.

There are contraindications, you should consult a specialist before use.

Hello! I would like to share my impressions about the operation performed in your clinic. Firstly, I am a non-resident, I had to read about you and listen to the recommendations of friends, acquaintances, relatives. It all started with a direct conversation with the doctor and then a consultation with the administrators, who in turn provided all the information. After receiving all the tests, I visited your clinic for the first time, it turned out to be brighter and more comfortable than outside. Before the operation, a visit to the therapist, examination and taking of readings (including all tests brought with you). Then they took me directly to the doctor who will perform the operation. Doctor Kamaletdinov Rinaz Enesovich, special thanks to him, the operation – Circumcision. Full consultation and further design questions. After that, the ascent to the ward, where the staff is also very polite and excellent rooms with everything you need. Next move to the operating room. The support group of the nurse Serebryakova Xenia Alexandrovna and the work with comments (which is not unimportant) about the current work with you is worth a separate praise. Setting up and creating a friendly atmosphere at a high level.
After the operation, they helped me get up and took me to the ward, where they offered tea and made the necessary injections. The ward is clean, comfortable, bed with a mechanism, everything is new – level 10 out of 10. The doctor resorted to check the condition (in addition to the nurse on duty) every probably half an hour, between consultations and operations. Everything went without a single mistake, clearly with high professionalism.
Summary: now my one of the few favorite clinics, which I already recommend and will continue to recommend! Prosperity to you, you are great fellows! Thanks for all!

Based on the recommendations of the therapist of the Clinic, SL was referred to the day hospital for the treatment of vitiligo. I want to express my gratitude to the nurse Akhmetgaleeva Guzel. She has golden hands! He does injections and droppers perfectly (this is with my invisible veins). Sociable, friendly, always smiling. Being treated for vitiligo in the clinic, I was surrounded by warmth and care, I felt cozy and comfortable, thanks to Guzel and the clear and well-coordinated work of the entire team. Thank you very much!

Hello, I want to express my deep gratitude to your clinic and cosmetologist Maria Valerievna! Thank you for your professionalism and dedication! I’m glad I trusted you!

23.01.2020Regina

I have been going to the SL Clinic for more than a year, but recently I found out that a cardiologist also sees. In general, I go to the beautician Elena Viktorovna.
I couldn’t think that I needed to see a cardiologist. Svetlana Gennadievna, thank you for the positive attitude, you opened my eyes to my health, or rather explained the reason for my poor health. Before that, not a single specialist, and I turned to a vascular specialist, and to a therapist, and did ultrasound, no one could understand anything. Everyone said that everything is normal with you … although I understood that it was not …
Thank you for explaining everything to me intelligibly, you are now my true friend!

16.01.2020Maria Makarova

Svetlana Leonovna!!! I don’t know how to thank you. To say that you have given me back my confidence is an understatement. You gave me back the desire to smile, the desire to move forward, just the desire to live. Just don’t disappear, you just be, you just don’t go anywhere. THANKS FOR ALL!!!

And again, I was not mistaken in choosing the clinic and the doctor, entrusting you with the most precious thing.

Let your work give the result that we expect from you! Grateful patients! Great achievements! Clinic further prosperity! Thank you!
