The main causes of an itchy scalp Dandruff
and seborrheic dermatitis: the number one suspects
Dandruff, those unsightly little white flakes, often appears due to excess sebum or harsh products. They cause annoying itching, and the more you scratch, the more irritated your scalp becomes.
Seborrheic dermatitis, on the other hand, goes further: it is a chronic inflammation that causes red patches with thick, yellowish scales. In addition to the scalp, it can also affect the eyebrows, the back of the ears, or even the sides of the nose.
