Features

Dandruff generally occurs on the scalp in two types - dry or greasy:

Dry dandruff is usually caused by excessive cleansing. If the care content of the products used for cleansing, especially shampoos, is not sufficient, the scalp dries out.
Oily dandruff, on the other hand, usually indicates a scalp fauna that is not in balance. In other words, the natural microbiome of the scalp is disturbed, which in turn stimulates the stratum corneum to form dandruff. Fungal diseases in particular can play a role here.

Dandruff of any kind is often accompanied by itching

Psoriasis on the scalp

Features

Psoriasis is an inflammatory, non-contagious disease that can also occur on the scalp, especially at the hairline.

Psoriasis is primarily recognizable by reddish, scaly skin changes that can itch. The chronic disease typically progresses in episodes - sometimes with more severe, milder or no skin problems at all.

Scaly scalp

Features

A scaly scalp is characterized by the appearance of visible, dry or greasy skin flakes that detach from the scalp and are often accompanied by itching.

This symptomatology can be attributed to a number of causes, including dry skin conditions, seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.

Recommendation

Squama

Features

Squama refers to scales or scale-like structures that occur on the skin or outer layers of animals and plants. They are characterized by their flat, flaking nature, which in some cases serves as a protective or adaptive feature.
