Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis

Dandruff & Seborrheic Dermatitis

Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are common scalp conditions that cause flaking, itching and irritation. Dandruff is generally a milder form, while seborrheic dermatitis can cause more persistent inflammation, redness and greasy scaling. These conditions are not contagious and are usually manageable with appropriate scalp care and treatment.

Dandruff vs Seborrheic Dermatitis

Dandruff is usually mild, mainly affects the scalp, and flaking is the main symptom with minimal skin inflammation. It is often controlled with medicated shampoo.

Seborrheic dermatitis may cause significant inflammation, can affect the scalp, face, ears and other oily areas, and presents with redness, greasy scaling and itching. It often requires prescription treatment and shows more noticeable inflammation.
