It can be uncomfortable, frustrating, and even embarrassing!Here are 3 causes:
1
Dry AirSome people only experience a flaky, itchy scalp only during the colder months. This can oftentimes go away on its own during the warmer seasons.
2
Yeast or Fungal Overgrowth
Fungal overgrowth, like from Malassezia or Candida, can feed off the oils (or sebum) on your scalp. These are yeast-like fungi that love humid, moist environments.
3
Chronic Illness or Medical ConditionsThose with chronic illnesses, gut health imbalances, poor circulation, nervous system conditions, or compromised immune systems are at a higher risk.
