If you are starting to notice that your scalp is oily, itchy, you have greasy hair or large white or yellow flakes fall out when your ruffle or brush your hair, it is likely to be more than just dandruff." Atopic eczema is another common type of eczema that can affect the scalp at any age. The skin is dry, itchy and inflamed, and can easily become infected, especially if scratched and when there is broken skin.The skin on the scalp requires moisturising just like the body, but it can be difficult to get beyond the hair to the scalp. Medical emollients can be applied to the scalp by parting the hair and massaging them into the skin. Ointment-based emollients are not suitable as they are grease-based and difficult to wash out. Emollients in lotion, gel and spray-on oil forms; for example, E45 lotion, Doublebase gel or the spray-on oil, Emollin, may be suitable.

Just like all infections, it is best to be treated as soon as possible in case symptoms get worse. Dandruff is no different, it can lead to hair loss if left untreated, but this is not common.
