Additionally, it manifests with periods of irritation or worsening, mixed with lapses of momentary attenuations, reason why it is important to consult with a specialist doctor without letting this pass, asserted Doctor Maria Isabel Arias, member of the Mexican Dermatology Foundation (FMD).

Dandruff is associated to the presence of white scales shed from the scalp, produced by an increase in fat production and a fungus that all we have, but which under certain emotional and hormonal factors cause irritation of hair skin, accented with itching explains Javier Ruiz, also dermatologist member of the FMD.

According to Doctor Arias, dandruff appears mainly in men and young people. This disorder appears with the use of caps, which causes excessive scalp perspiration; by the exaggerated use of gel and, in case of girls arranging wet hair in bundle or buns.

The foundation hopes to eradicate erroneous ideas as far as the affection, such as the belief that this is infectious and can be transmitted by direct contact or by sharing personal objects.

The specialists recommend visiting the doctor as soon as the itching or moderate irritation appears, since the disease can evolve to more serious levels and prevents the well-being of the patient, diminishing his quality of life.
