Winter Dandruff – FAQs From SkinDot Clinics

 

What Makes Dandruff Worse In Winter?
Cold weather, dry air, and indoor heating reduce scalp moisture. This weakens the scalp barrier and increases flaking and itching.

Is Winter Dandruff A Sign Of Poor Hygiene?
No. Dandruff is a medical scalp condition, not a cleanliness issue. Even people with good hair hygiene can develop dandruff in winter.

Should I Change My Shampoo In Winter?
Yes. Switching to a mild, medicated anti-dandruff shampoo during winter helps control flakes without over-drying the scalp.

Is Oiling Good For Winter Dandruff?
Not always. In fungal dandruff, heavy oiling can worsen flakes. Treatment should be based on the scalp condition, not the season alone.

How Long Does Treatment Take To Work?
Most patients see improvement within 2–3 weeks with proper shampoo use and scalp care.

When Should I Consult A Dermatologist?
If dandruff is severe, itchy, spreading to the face or ears, or not improving with regular treatment, expert evaluation is advised.
