Don’t Ignore Dandruff, Experts Warn

Many people consider dandruff a minor issue and ignore it, but experts warn that prolonged dandruff can lead to scalp inflammation, redness, irritation, small wounds, and even hair fall. Stopping anti-dandruff treatment immediately after symptoms reduce may increase the chances of recurrence. Experts recommend using medicated shampoos as advised and allowing them to remain on the scalp for 3 to 5 minutes before washing.

Maintaining proper scalp hygiene, limiting excessive use of hair oils and styling products, and avoiding frequent scratching can help control dandruff. Experts suggest washing hair two to three times a week, following a balanced diet, drinking enough water, and managing stress through exercise, yoga, or meditation. Medical advice should be taken if dandruff persists, severe itching, swelling, scalp redness, or excessive hair loss occurs.
