Hair Loss: Dandruff is a common chronic scalp condition marked by itching and flaking of the skin on your scalp. Although dandruff isn't contagious and is rarely serious, it can be embarrassing and sometimes difficult to treat. Dandruff does not cause hair loss. The american hair loss association recommends Minoxidil for those who have not responded favorably to Finasteride or the use of both.
