Are your scalp problems due to dandruff?

The condition is quite harmless – but very troublesome. Dandruff is large, greasy and often yellowish  flakes caused by the growth of a yeast fungus on the scalp. To get rid of the problem, use a good dandruff antifungal shampoo that inhibits the growth of the yeast.

Like the rest of the body, the skin of the scalp needs to be cared for. If you experience itching and irritation, you probably have dry scalp. Here is some advice that can help.
