Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best shampoo for a flaking scalp?
The best shampoo for a flaky scalp typically contains active ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid. These ingredients help control yeast or exfoliate dead skin cells, which are common causes of flaking.
How can I stop my scalp from flaking?
To stop a flaky scalp, use a medicated shampoo regularly as directed, and avoid harsh hair products that can irritate the scalp. Maintaining a healthy diet and managing stress can also contribute to scalp health.
What do dermatologists recommend for a flaky scalp?
Dermatologists often recommend shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for dandruff, and salicylic acid shampoos for dry scalp. They may also prescribe stronger topical treatments if over-the-counter options are ineffective.
How to tell if it's dandruff or just dry scalp?
Dandruff flakes are often oily and larger, accompanied by redness and itching, and caused by a yeast called Malassezia. Dry scalp flakes are typically smaller, dry, and less itchy, often worsened by cold weather or harsh shampoos.
