Dandruff: The areas of the body that tend to be affected are those where there are the most skin glands which make the oil (sebum).Dandruff is scaling of the scalp that happens as a result of seborrhoeic dermatitis. The scalp may also become itchy. Mild patches of flaky skin may also develop on the face. http://patient.info/health/seborrhoeic-dermatitis-leaflet

Not curable: Seborrheic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition which is more immunologic than infectious. Some believe that it is a reaction of the body to a natural yeast-like organism that lives on the scalp. It can be aggrevated by stress or irritating scalp products.
