Dandruff medically know as “Pityriasis simplex” is the shedding of skin from the scalp. Dandruff is sometimes caused by frequent exposure to extreme heat and cold. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and common. Some people however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggering factors, experience an unusually large amount of flaking, which is also accompanied by redness and irritation.

Excessive flaking can be a symptom of Seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infection or excoriation associated with infestation of head lice.

Seborrhoeic Dermatitis: Symptoms include reddened, irritated skin, itching, and increased flaking of large size. Scalp is oily with a yellowish tinge of flaking. Appearances of flakes on scalp, eyebrows, crease of nose, behind the ears, lips and along skin folds etc.

Scalp Psoriasis: is a condition out of altered immune system causing excessive production of skin cells leads to inflammation and the buildup of large, silvery plaques on the skin's surface, especially on the scalp, elbows, waist and knees.

After analyzing the reason for dandruff and its type an unique scientific methodology is used for controlling the dandruff which is known as DCT at Dr.Paul's
