What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes flaking and itching. It can be mild or severe, and often gets worse in colder weather.

How to Tell If You Have It

Itchy scalp that feels tight or dry
White or yellowish flakes on your scalp, hair, or shoulders
May have redness or oily patches
Not fully controlled with store-bought shampoos

Why It Happens

Usually caused by excess oil, yeast overgrowth, or skin sensitivity. Related to seborrheic dermatitis in many cases.

How We Help

We prescribe custom medicated shampoos and scalp treatments to address both the flakes and the underlying cause.

What to Expect

Your prescription may include antifungal ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc, along with exfoliants and soothing agents.
