Dandruff or Pityriasis Simplex Capillitii is a condition where the scalp is full of white flakes of skin, caused due to various reasons. Extremely dry skinned people tend to suffer from dandruff. Sometimes if you don’t brush your hair as much as needed or don’t shampoo very often, you might have a tendency to suffer from it. Oily skin may also act as a catalyst. Dandruff can also be a side effect of yeast sensitivity. Dandruff can cause a lot of discomfort to you as it causes itching and irritation. It also has a typical stench.
