Try not to scratch if flakes itch. You won't end the flaking and you may cause bleeding or hair loss, making the problem worse. When to See a Doctor. See a skin doctor if none of these tips helps. The doctor may prescribe a stronger dandruff shampoo that contains the antifungal ketoconazole. Flaking can also be caused by a condition like scalp psoriasis.
Dandruff itself cannot cause hair to fall out. Indirectly, however, it may play a large role of hair loss. The cause of the dandruff must be detected in order to know why hair is being lost in abnormal amounts. If the flaking is due to eczema, this skin condition must first be treated before flaking of the scalp stops as well as hair loss. Psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis also causes hair loss and skin flaking. Another reason for dandruff to appear is sudden hormonal changes. All these conditions are treatable and must be alleviated before relief from flaking skin and hair loss can be expected.
