Overview

Seborrheic dermatitis, generally known as dandruff, is a scalp disorder that affects 50–60% of people, however it most frequently affects children and adults in their middle years. Everyone appears to experience this uncurlable hair ailment at some point in their lives.
It is a papulosquamous skin condition that mostly affects the face and body folds of the scalp, which have a high concentration of sebaceous glands. There are 2 categories of variants: infantile and adult. Infantile disorders typically resolve on their own within a year of age and are self-limiting; nevertheless, they are also marked by recurring patterns, which make patients extremely anxious.

Causes / Pathophysiology

Multiple factors play important roles in its aetiology.

  • Disruption of skin microflora
  • Genetic factors associated with epidermal barrier disruption
  • Dry skin on the scalp due to extreme cold weather or irregular shampooing
  • Excessive production of sebum due to any cause mixes with dirt and dead skin and forms dandruff.
  • Malassezia globosa is a yeast that has a strong affinity for the oil on the scalp, breaking it down and acting as an irritant. As a result, the scalp reacts by accelerating cell renewal, which results in dandruff.
  • The most frequent source of contact dermatitis, which is a skin irritant brought on by Allergan or any irritant that results in a painful rash, is hair dyes and other hair colouring products.
  • Regular cleaning can help those who are prone to dandruff, as it prevents the buildup of oil that can cause dandruff.
  • The sebaceous gland is stimulated by sex and androgens (like testosterone), which increases its production of oil and indirectly contributes to dandruff.
  • Patients with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, etc., are more likely to develop dandruff.
  • Zinc and vitamin B deficiency precipitate dandruff
