Why does dandruff always come back?

Dandruff is a common scalp condition affecting many adults, often linked to an imbalance caused by the Malassezia yeast. It manifests as white flakes and can vary in severity, with oily dandruff being more uncomfortable. Seborrheic dermatitis is a more severe form, characterized by red, greasy patches and persistent itching. Factors like stress and climate can trigger flare-ups, and while dandruff is not due to poor hygiene, the right treatment is essential. Different anti-dandruff shampoos target various causes, and a combination of antifungal and anti-inflammatory ingredients is recommended for effective management. Regular treatment is necessary to control symptoms and prevent recurrence.
