What is the Difference Between Dry Scalp & Dandruff?
If you see white flakes on your shoulders, you may assume you have dandruff, but you could have a dry scalp. Both common skin conditions produce flakes, but the two conditions have different underlying causes. It is possible to have either or both condition, and in most cases the flakes will appear very similar. While there may be some overlap among treatments for the two conditions, you will have a better outcome when a specific treatment is linked to the right condition.
