Health & Body - Dandruff: understanding the global scalp condition without a cure

Affecting roughly half of all adults across the globe, dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by heavy flaking and mild itchiness. Usually beginning at puberty and declining after age fifty, it affects men more often than women. The condition is not caused by poor hygiene, but stems from excessive skin cell growth linked to genetic and environmental factors. Although dandruff has no known cure, people manage symptoms using antifungal creams like ketoconazole or salicylic acid.
