Glossary Malassezia spp.

naturally occurring skin yeast that can cause dandruff

Malassezia spp. refers to a group of yeast species that are naturally found on the skin of humans and animals. While they are usually harmless, an overgrowth of Malassezia can lead to skin conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and even contribute to hair loss in some cases. These yeasts thrive in oily areas of the skin and are often managed with antifungal treatments.
