The back of my head is itchy and there are large pieces of dandruff

Many people may have had this experience: when scratching the scalp, some residues will be removed. The white particles may be fat particles, and the flakes may be dandruff. However, if the scalp is accompanied by a strong itchy feeling and scratching does not relieve it, it is very likely that there is some inflammation in the hair follicles of the scalp. If the large pieces of skin that are picked off are hard, they are scabs.

Dandruff, medically known as pityriasis capitis, is a skin disease caused by Malassezia (a type of fungus). The massive reproduction of Malassezia on the scalp causes excessive proliferation of the scalp's stratum corneum, which in turn causes the stratum corneum cells to abnormally fall off in the form of white or gray scales. These shed scales are dandruff. The causes of dandruff are usually divided into physiological and pathological.
