Dandruff is a common scalp condition that causes flaking, itching, and irritation. While mild dandruff can be managed with basic care, persistent or severe cases may require medical evaluation.
At SkinEssence Skin & Hair Clinic, we provide dermatologist-supervised dandruff treatment tailored to the underlying cause, ensuring safe and long-term relief.

Dandruff may be caused by:
Fungal overgrowth (Malassezia)
Excess oil production
Seborrheic dermatitis
Dry scalpStress and hormonal changes
Humidity and heat
In Kochi’s humid climate, scalp sweating and oil buildup can worsen fungal activity, leading to recurring dandruff.
You may need medical treatment if you notice:

Itchy or irritated scalp
Redness or inflammation
