Although pityriasis capitis (dandruff) is not a serious medical condition, it causes significant embarrassment and self-esteem issues in many people who suffer from it. It is extremely common, affecting up to half the global adult population, and its recurring nature is often a source of frustration. It can impact on primary care workload and can also be mistaken for other scalp conditions such as scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis or atopic eczema. In this podcast Dr Roger Henderson looks at how to distinguish dandruff from these conditions as well as how to effectively treat dandruff to stop patients from needing repeated consultations.
