Dandruff is a common scalp condition caused by an overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia, which feeds on the natural oils (sebum) of your scalp. It leads to inflammation, itching, and the shedding of white or yellowish flakes of dead skin. ❌ Why Oiling Isn’t Good for Dandruff: 1. Feeds the Fungus Oiling increases scalp sebum, giving Malassezia more to feed on, worsening dandruff. 2. Traps Dirt and Dead Skin Oil can trap dead skin cells and environmental debris, clogging hair follicles and increasing scalp irritation. 3. Blocks Treatment Products Oiling can act as a barrier, preventing medicated shampoos or anti-dandruff treatments from penetrating the scalp properly. 4. May Increase Itching and Inflammation In already sensitive, flaky scalps, oil can cause more itching and discomfort. ✅ What to Do Instead: • Use an anti-dandruff shampoo with ingredients like: • Ketoconazole • Zinc pyrithione • Selenium sulfide • Salicylic acid • Coal tar • Shampoo 2–3 times a week or as directed. • Keep scalp clean and dry. • If dry flakes are present (not oily dandruff), use a lightweight, non-comedogenic scalp serum instead of oil. #skincaretips #drshreyamunjral #dandruff #dandruffremoval #dandrufftreatment #dandrufftreatment #haircare
