Dandruff is a chronic scalp condition that causes excessive shedding of dead skin cells — often caused by fungal overgrowth, oily scalp conditions, or skin disorders such as seborrhoeic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis.
The most common reasons for dandruff include:
— Fungal overgrowth (Malassezia) — the most common cause, triggered by excess sebum production — Oily scalp (seborrhoeic dermatitis) — causes large, yellow-greasy flakes, often with redness — Dry scalp — causes small white flakes without excess oil, often with tightness — Scalp folliculitis — bacterial or fungal infection of the hair follicles causing itchy bumps — Scalp psoriasis — autoimmune condition causing thick, silvery scale build-up — Contact dermatitis — reaction to hair products, dyes or chemical treatments — Poor scalp hygiene or product build-up — clogs follicles and triggers flaking and itch
Left untreated, dandruff causes persistent itchy scalp, scalp inflammation, hair thinning and significant hair loss from the mechanical damage of constant scratching. The connection between itchy scalp and hair loss is well established — persistent scalp inflammation directly weakens follicles and accelerates shedding.
At Cheveuderm Skin & Hair Clinic, Bangalore, Dr. Vishakha Iyer performs a scalp analysis to determine the root cause of your dandruff before recommending the most appropriate treatment. Understanding whether your dandruff is fungal, oily, dry, or inflammatory is essential for effective, lasting treatment.
Dandruff is one of the most common triggers of hair fall. If you are experiencing hair loss alongside dandruff, see our GFC and PRP hair treatment → and hair loss treatments at Cheveuderm →
OUR SPECIALIST ANTI-DANDRUFF APPROACH
01 · For Persistent Dandruff
Sessions: 3–6 · Spacing: Every 2–3 weeks · Duration: 45–60 minutes
Medicated dandruff therapy uses clinically proven antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents — applied directly to the scalp under professional supervision by Dr. Vishakha Iyer. This is the primary treatment for moderate to severe dandruff caused by fungal overgrowth (Malassezia), seborrhoeic dermatitis and chronic itchy scalp conditions.
Treatment may include medicated scalp masks, prescription antifungal shampoos, topical corticosteroids for inflammation, and in-clinic scalp peeling treatments to remove build-up and restore the scalp microbiome.
02 · For Oily & Irritated Scalp
Sessions: 2–4 · Spacing: Every 2–4 weeks · Duration: 45–60 minutes
Scalp detox treatment deep cleanses the scalp — removing excess sebum, product build-up, pollutant residue and dead skin cells that accumulate on the scalp surface and block follicle openings. This is the most effective first-line treatment for oily scalp dandruff, scalp acne and scalp folliculitis.
The treatment uses enzymatic exfoliation, medicated scalp peels and purifying scalp serums to regulate sebum production, clear blocked follicles and reduce the scalp inflammation that drives persistent dandruff and itchy scalp.
This can be combined with a scalp-specific GFC therapy session for patients experiencing significant hair fall alongside scalp issues.
03 · For Chronic Dandruff Conditions
Sessions: 4–8 · Spacing: Weekly to fortnightly · Duration: 60–90 minutes
For patients with chronic or severe scalp conditions — including scalp psoriasis, scalp folliculitis, persistent seborrhoeic dermatitis, or scalp conditions causing significant hair thinning — Dr. Vishakha Iyer at Cheveuderm designs an advanced scalp restoration programme.
This combines medicated in-clinic treatments with prescription topical therapy, nutritional assessment and, where indicated, GFC scalp injections to repair the scalp microenvironment and actively support hair follicle recovery.
For patients with significant hair loss caused by scalp conditions, this programme can be combined with hair loss treatment at Cheveuderm for a comprehensive approach.

ANTI-DANDRUFF TREATMENT FAQs
Everything you need to know about Anti-Dandruff Treatment at Cheveuderm, Bangalore — answered by Dr. Vishakha Iyer’s team.
Dandruff is most commonly caused by overgrowth of Malassezia — a naturally occurring scalp fungus that proliferates when sebum production is high. Other causes include seborrhoeic dermatitis, dry scalp conditions, scalp psoriasis, contact dermatitis, product build-up and poor scalp hygiene. At Cheveuderm, Dr. Vishakha Iyer performs a scalp analysis to identify your specific dandruff cause before recommending treatment.
Yes, especially if dandruff is persistent, causing significant itchy scalp, associated with hair fall, or not responding to over-the-counter shampoos. A dermatologist can identify the underlying cause — fungal, inflammatory or sebum-related — and prescribe the appropriate medicated treatment. At Cheveuderm, Dr. Vishakha Iyer provides professional anti-dandruff treatment in Bangalore with a full scalp assessment.
Dandruff is a chronic condition for many people, but it can be effectively controlled and significantly reduced with the right treatment. At Cheveuderm, professional anti-dandruff therapy combined with a home care programme prescribed by Dr. Vishakha Iyer achieves long-term dandruff control — not just temporary improvement.
Most patients see significant improvement in itchy scalp and flaking within 2 to 3 sessions. A full course of 4 to 6 sessions is typically recommended for complete dandruff control and scalp microbiome restoration. For severe scalp conditions including scalp folliculitis or scalp psoriasis, 6 to 8 sessions may be required. Dr. Vishakha Iyer designs your personalised plan at Cheveuderm.
Yes. Persistent dandruff, especially when associated with severe itchy scalp and scratching, causes scalp inflammation that directly weakens hair follicles and accelerates hair shedding. Seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp folliculitis are particularly associated with hair loss. At Cheveuderm, patients with dandruff-related hair fall are treated with a combined scalp programme and GFC or PRP hair therapy →
Dandruff can recur, particularly fungal dandruff triggered by seasonal changes, stress or diet. However, professional anti-dandruff treatment at Cheveuderm combined with the prescribed home care routine significantly reduces the frequency and severity of recurrence. Dr. Vishakha Iyer provides a long-term scalp maintenance plan to keep dandruff controlled.
Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions depending on dandruff type and severity. Mild to moderate dandruff typically responds within 3 to 4 sessions. Severe or chronic scalp conditions may require 6 to 8 sessions. Dr. Vishakha Iyer at Cheveuderm reviews your scalp at each session and adjusts the treatment plan as needed.
Applying oils directly to the scalp is not recommended during dandruff treatment — particularly for oily dandruff and fungal dandruff caused by Malassezia, as oils feed the fungus and worsen the condition. Dr. Vishakha Iyer at Cheveuderm will advise on whether any oils are appropriate for your specific scalp condition, and which to avoid.
Yes. By resolving scalp inflammation, reducing follicle blockage and restoring a healthy scalp microenvironment, anti-dandruff treatment at Cheveuderm directly supports better hair growth. For patients with significant dandruff-related hair fall, combining scalp treatment with GFC or PRP hair therapy → produces the best hair recovery results.
