Dr. (Lt Col) Neha Sodhi – Skin, Hair & Laser Specialist
Dandruff is one of the most common scalp concerns, yet it is often misunderstood and mistreated. Flakes on the scalp, itching, and irritation can affect confidence and daily comfort—but the good news is dandruff is treatable with the right dermatological care.
At Dr. (Lt Col) Neha Sodhi’s clinic, we offer advanced, evidence-based scalp treatments to manage even resistant and chronic dandruff, helping patients achieve a healthy, flake-free scalp.
What Is Dandruff?
Dandruff is a scalp condition marked by white or yellowish flakes, itching, and sometimes redness. It is not just a cosmetic issue—it is a medical scalp disorder that needs professional evaluation, especially when it becomes recurrent or resistant to over-the-counter products.
Ignoring dandruff can worsen scalp health and may lead to hair fall, scalp infections, and inflammation.
Common Causes of Scalp dandruff
Dandruff develops due to multiple factors. Identifying the exact cause is crucial for effective treatment.
1. Overgrowth of Fungus (Malassezia)
This naturally occurring yeast can multiply excessively, triggering irritation and rapid skin cell turnover, leading to visible flakes.
2. Oily or Dry Scalp Imbalance
Both excess oil production and extreme dryness can disrupt the scalp barrier and promote dandruff formation.
3. Poor Scalp Hygiene
Infrequent washing allows oil, sweat, and dead skin cells to build up, creating an ideal environment for dandruff.
4. Sensitivity to Hair Products
Harsh shampoos, chemical treatments, and styling products can irritate the scalp and worsen flaking.
5. Stress and Lifestyle Factors
Stress, lack of sleep, and an unhealthy diet can weaken scalp immunity and aggravate dandruff.
6. Underlying Skin Conditions
Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema often present as persistent or severe dandruff and require dermatologist-guided treatment.
Why Scalp scaling Becomes Resistant
Many patients try multiple anti-dandruff shampoos without lasting relief. This happens because resistant dandruff often has deeper causes that topical products alone cannot treat.
Resistant dandruff may occur due to:
- Incorrect diagnosis
- Self-medication
- Inadequate treatment duration
- Underlying scalp disorders
That’s where expert dermatological intervention becomes essential.
