Seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, commonly known as dandruff or scurf, often first manifests between the ages of six to ten. It’s not uncommon for multiple family members to exhibit this condition, suggesting a hereditary inclination. In its early, dry stage, many spores are evident. Over time, the area may become infected with bacteria. Sometimes, this scalp condition coincides with blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid), which generally improves after treating the scalp. Effective treatment involves using products to eliminate bacteria and then procedures to reduce the scalp’s oiliness. Combined with rigorous brushing and scalp massages, this approach helps maintain a clear scalp.
