Itchy, Flaky Scalp Explained
Itchy, flaky scalp can occur when there is an increase in the rate of cell production in the scalp. When this happens, dead, dry cells tend to build up, and then they flake off naturally. The condition is more common in the winter months or when hair is stripped of its natural oils by harsh shampoos and conditioners. Flaking and irritation may also have other causes—seborrheic dermatitis or even mild psoriasis. Whichever condition it is, all three have similar symptoms—itching and flaking.
