How to recognize the signs of Pityriasis capititis (dandruff)

There are a variety of symptoms associated with dandruff. The three Main Symptoms are as:

* Flaking - White flakes of skin in your hair and on the collar and shoulders of your clothes. This is by far the most embarrassing and common symptom of dandruff. Flaking is a key indication that the skin cells on your scalp are shedding and being replaced at an accelerated rate.
* Itching - Another, semi-embarrassing signal of dandruff is excessive itching on your head. This irritating itching is actually a result of these dry flakes.
* Redness - The third indication of dandruff occurs in more severe cases of dandruff is seborrhea. In the case of seborrhea, there is a visible redness on the scalp, which is sometimes paired with scalp inflammation.

Other Symptoms may be:

Psoriasis is a condition that also affects the scalp. It also affects the skin around the ears, knees and elbows. The psoriasis scales are silvery-white with red, inflamed patches.
