What is it?
Dandruff in children is a common scalp condition characterized by white or yellowish flakes that shed from the scalp. It may be accompanied by mild itching or dryness. Dandruff can occur due to dry skin, excess oil production, or a natural yeast present on the scalp. While it is not harmful, it can cause discomfort and embarrassment if not managed properly.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on restoring scalp balance and reducing flaking. The dermatologist examines the scalp to determine whether dandruff is due to dryness, oiliness, or an underlying scalp condition. Treatment may include medicated shampoos, soothing scalp treatments, and guidance on proper hair washing and scalp care routines.
