What causes dandruff in children?

Don’t think that increased dandruff only occurs in adults. Children can also experience increased dandruff. If children eat too much greasy food or the ambient temperature is high, the cortical secretion will be vigorous, which will increase the amount of dandruff in children.

Causes of dandruff in children:

1. Excessive oil secretion

If the scalp secretes too much oil, it is easy for bacteria to grow on the scalp and hair, and for the scalp and hair to be contaminated by dirt in the air. In particular, parasitic bacteria will cause more and more dandruff due to excessive reproduction.

2. Suffering from skin diseases

If you suffer from skin diseases, it is easy to cause dandruff. Common skin diseases that increase dandruff include seborrheic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, etc.

3. Vitamin B deficiency

If the body lacks vitamin B, it will easily affect the body's normal metabolism. The most direct impact is that the oil and scales on the surface of the scalp will increase and a large amount of dandruff will appear. In addition, a lack of vitamin B in the body can easily cause seborrheic dermatitis, further increasing dandruff.

4. Climate Change

When the climate changes, especially in autumn and winter, the climate is drier and the scalp is prone to dryness, causing scalp shedding and dandruff. This situation is generally seasonal. When the climate is dry, the scalp's defense ability decreases, and it is easy to cause a large amount of dandruff when stimulated by external factors.
