Dandruff
If your scalp itches all the time, maybe the answer is right in front of you. Dandruff is often the most common culprit of itching. Seborrheic dermatitis is actually the worse as it is known for being a severe form of dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis seems to appear when a yeast called Malassezia is found in the oil secretion on the skin or as an irregular response to someone’s immune system.
A board-certified dermatologist based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Jennifer Haley, MD, says that even changes in weather and stress factors can activate seborrheic dermatitis. In most cases, over-the-counter remedies like products that contain salicylic acid can solve the issue. But when nothing seems to work for you, it’s best to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
