Dandruff treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Dandruff is a common scalp condition in which small flakes of skin shed, often accompanied by itching and, at times, mild redness.

What contributes to it: Dryness or excess oil on the scalp, sensitivity to certain products, and the presence of a fungus that naturally lives on the skin.

When to have it checked? If the flaking is persistent, intense, very irritating, or does not improve with usual care, it is worth having it evaluated.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the professional who can examine the scalp and tell dandruff apart from other similar conditions; a general practitioner can also provide initial guidance. If the dandruff bothers you or does not clear up, a dermatology visit helps clarify the cause.
