Features

Pityriasis simplex capillitii, also known as dry scalp dandruff, is characterized by fine, dry scales that form without inflammation or redness of the scalp. This form of dandruff is usually caused by an increased cell turnover rate of the scalp and is often accompanied by a feeling of dryness and sometimes itching, but without the more severe symptoms of seborrhoeic dermatitis.
