    Glossary Scalp Scaling

    flaking or shedding of outer scalp skin layer

    Scalp scaling refers to the flaking or shedding of the outermost layer of the scalp skin, often due to conditions like dandruff, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis. It can result in visible flakes and sometimes itching or irritation, and may require treatments such as medicated shampoos or topical therapies to manage the underlying cause.
