Struggling with scalp concerns? You’re not alone.
Dryness, itching, flaking, excessive oil, or discomfort? Several scalp conditions may be responsible, including:
• Dandruff (Pityriasis Capitis)
A common condition involving excessive flaking of dead skin cells, often accompanied by itching.
• Seborrhoeic Dermatitis
Characterised by redness, inflammation, and greasy scales caused by an overactive scalp microbiome.
• Irritant & Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Reactions triggered by hair products, chemicals, or environmental allergens leading to redness, burning, and sensitivity.
• Psoriasis
An autoimmune condition presenting as thick, silvery-white scales and patches of inflammation on the scalp.
• Pityriasis Amiantacea
Heavy, tightly-adherent scales forming around the hair shaft, often linked with underlying dermatitis or psoriasis.
• Folliculitis
Inflammation or infection of the follicles causing red bumps, pustules, and scalp tenderness.
• Acne Necrotica Miliaris
Small, itchy pustules that can become crusted or inflamed, often mistaken for simple scalp acne.
• Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm)
A fungal infection causing itching, scaling, and sometimes patchy hair loss.
Your scalp is the foundation of healthy hair when it’s out of balance, your hair will tell you.
