How does stress affect dandruff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormone fluctuations: Some people believe their dandruff varies with their stress levels. In those people, they are probably getting hormonal fluctuations when they experience different levels of stress, and the changes in hormone levels may affect skin conditions like dandruff and acne.
