Flaking
Dandruff causes the scalp to flake and may cause visible flakes on clothing or in the hair. Fungal scalp infections may develop worse dandruff if they have sensitive skin or a very oily scalp. Fungus causes irritation and flakes which may be due to the way the fungus interacts with other factors. Anti-dandruff shampoo can treat many underlying causes of dandruff, including minor fungal infections.
