Do you have DANDRUFF? Here’s how it affects your face by causing problems

Dandruff is a very common skin condition that affects the scalp. It is a skin condition that affects the scalp making it feel dry, flakey and itchy. It being a common hair problem, we keep on trying endless ways to keep our scalp clean and dandruff free.  But what we do not understand is that it not only affects the scalp but to make things worse, the effect of dandruff is not just limited to your scalp. It can also affect the skin on your neck, shoulders and face. The dry skin that you often find on your neck and face is not just dry skin and can actually be a sign that your dandruff is spreading. 

Here are all the ways that your dandruff is affecting your skin by causing problems.

ACNE

Many studies have found out that dandruff can result in acne. It can be one of the biggest reason for the occasional pimples on your face. For people who suffer from acne, your dandruff can be the root cause of it. If untreated for a long time, the acne may spread and lead to multiple skin problems.

ITCHY SKIN

Another common problem caused by dandruff is itching. Dandruff is the accumulation of dry and dead skin cells on the scalp that result in white flakes. These flakes can clog the roots which cause itching. However, this itching is not just confined to the scalp but it can also cause skin problems around the neck and upper back. If you are facing severe problems, it is advised to see a dermatologist.

SKIN INFLAMMATION

The skin around the back and neck can be severely affected if you have acne. It can lead to inflammation which can be a root cause for acne. For some people, this untreated dandruff can also lead to acne on the back and neck. 

DRY SKIN

Dandruff affects sry skin more than you think. The effects get severe as dry skin is more prone to get affected by dandruff. If you find any red, grey or scaly skin on the nose or on the oily T zone area, it is generally due to dandruff. If you observe it, treat the affected area instantly.

FACIAL DANDRUFF

While dandruff and oily skin can lead to acne, dandruff and dry skin can lead to more dandruff. This is even true for your face. If you have dry skin, dandruff can easily start to form in your eyebrows and eyelashes. So it is better to treat it on the scalp before it starts spreading to your face.
