Scalp Conditions

Common scalp conditions and how you can treat them

The skin on the scalp is different than that on the rest of the body. The skin on the scalp is thicker, more sensitive, and with more hair follicles and oil glands than anywhere else on our body.
This makes it prone to a range of conditions that can cause discomfort, irritation, and flakes. Understanding the causes and symptoms is key to managing these issues effectively.
01

Seborrheic Dermatitis (Dandruff)

Dandruff is one of the most common scalp conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. It causes white or yellow flakes and can often come with itching or irritation.

02

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic scalp condition that causes thick, scaly patches, often with redness and itching. It occurs when skin cells build up too quickly, forming scales and inflamed areas.

03

Eczema

Eczema is a common scalp condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It occurs when the skin’s protective barrier is weakened, leading to moisture loss and irritation. 

04

Flaking and Itching

Flaking and itching are common scalp concerns, often signalling issues like dandruff, eczema, or psoriasis.

05

Scalp Build Up

Scalp build-up occurs when excess oil, dead skin cells, and product residue accumulate, causing irritation and discomfort.
