Dandruff and an itchy, flaky scalp
Dandruff commonly causes visible scalp flakes and itching, but similar symptoms can occur with other scalp conditions. Persistent or severe symptoms deserve professional assessment.

Common scalp symptoms
Flaking, itching and scalp discomfort may vary over time. Scratching can irritate the skin further, and not every flaky scalp has the same cause.
When to seek medical help
Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are severe, painful, spreading, associated with hair loss or broken skin, or do not improve with appropriate routine care.
Medicated shampoo safety
