General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Dandruff and red patches can accompany seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp.

Itching and skin sensitivity can fluctuate as the condition goes through flare-ups.

Wash hair gently, rinse well and avoid irritating hair-styling products.

Ask for advice before choosing care, particularly during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Consult if patches spread, ooze, become painful or persist despite appropriate care.

For a recommended shampoo, ask how to use it and follow the contact time in its leaflet, without vigorously rubbing the scalp.
