Even if you’ve accepted the flakes, they still might annoy you.
Instead of dandruff, you might have a condition called seborrheic dermatitis.
This condition usually shows up as an inflamed and itchy scalp with flakiness and scaling.
There’s also the possibility that genetics are playing a part.
The best way to tell the difference between dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis is scaling (via Northstar Dermatology).
If it’s dandruff, you’ll only have flakes.
A dermatologist can help you with both dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.
If you notice flakes or itching, make an appointment to get the right diagnosis andtreatment.
