    yeast on human skin linked to dandruff and dermatitis

    Malassezia restricta is a type of yeast that naturally resides on human skin, particularly on the scalp. While it is generally harmless, an overgrowth of this yeast can contribute to conditions like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis by disrupting the natural balance of the skin's microbiome.
