There are several common scalp issues you may encounter:

🩺 Common Scalp Conditions

• Dandruff: Characterized by flaking and itching, often caused by seborrheic dermatitis or dry skin.
• Psoriasis: A chronic autoimmune condition that leads to thick, scaly patches on the scalp.
• Seborrheic Dermatitis: Causes red, greasy, and flaky scalp due to inflammation.
• Alopecia: Hair loss conditions such as alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.
• Scalp Infections: Fungal infections (like tinea capitis) or bacterial infections can cause scalp inflammation and hair loss.
