Flakes on the scalp
Flaking of the scalp can be the result of dermatitis, dandruff or psoriasis. Of all types of dermatitis the most likely to peel your scalp are: seborrheic dermatitis and contact dermatitis.
A dry scalp can be uncomfortable and if it leads to itching and peeling, you can have a bad feeling about your hair condition.
That is why it is important to determine, what leads your scalp to flake and how you can treat it for the best hair and scalp result.
Where do the flakes on your scalp come from?
Most of the time the flakes originate from dead skin cells, which are shed at a faster than normal rate. The flakes tend to be white or light yellow and easy to rub of your head. As said above the flakes develop because of dermatitis or dandruff.
Dermatitis is a dry, itchy skin condition. There are two types of dermatitis that lead to the flakes on your scalp. This types are seborrheic dermatitis and contact dermatitis.
Seborrheic dermatitis causes scaly patches and red skin on the scalp and other areas, while contact dermatitis is a red and itchy rash that is caused by contacts with allergen.
The causes of contact dermatitis depend on your condition. If you have an allergy and you touch something which irritates it, it could cause your scalp to flake. Products which contribute contact are: cosmetics, detergents, fragrances, latex, nickel, plants with poison and topical medications.
The causes of seborrheic dermatitis on the other hand, can be caused by a yeast and increased levels of hormone androgen and levels of oil skin. Furthermore, it can be caused by an inflammatory reaction. Also, it is highly likely that stress, genetics, a dry climate, certain health conditions and medical treatments could lead to an increased risk on developing this skin condition.

Like a seed sprouting a tree, each follicle contains a single hair that grows. The follicles produce sebum and oil, which help the scalp moisture and protects the skin from infection.
Every hair follicle got his own microbiome. The scalp also has a microbiome, if there is disruption in the balance of the scalp microbiome than it is highly likely that dandruff or dermatitis causes it. It is important to have an healthy scalp because a poor scalp can lead to hair loss.
