What Causes Dandruff and Scalp Acne?
Dandruff can be caused by fungal growth, excessive skin cell production (hyperkeratinization), and excess sebum. Scalp acne may result from bacterial overgrowth, blocked hair follicles from excessive sebum, and inflammation. Conditions like eczema, atopic dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis can also exacerbate both conditions.
A common skin condition causing scaly patches, red skin, and stubborn dandruff, primarily affecting the scalp.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Propionibacterium acnes, now known as Cutibacterium acnes, is a bacterium linked to the development of acne by infecting skin pores and potentially leading to inflammation
P. Acne
An abnormal increase in keratin production that leads to clogged pores and skin roughness, often contributing to various skin conditions.
Eczema
A chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by itchy, red, and dry skin, often associated with allergic reactions.
Hyperkeratinization
What are the symptoms?
Dandruff appears as white, oily flakes often accompanied by an itchy scalp. Scalp acne is characterized by small, raised red bumps that may have a white tip and can also feel itchy or tender.
Persistent itching sensation, often relentless and distracting
Itchy Scalp
Visible areas of inflamed, reddened skin across the scalp.
Red Patches
White or grey scales that detach and fall from the scalp.
Flaky Skin
Raised bumps or pimples indicating irritation or infection.
Bumpy Texture
What are some treatments?
Treatments for dandruff typically include anti-dandruff shampoos containing antifungal agents or ingredients that reduce skin cell production.
Scalp acne responds well to shampoos with antibacterial properties, mild exfoliation, and sometimes topical or oral antibiotics if severe.
