Dandruff is a scalp condition and is reflected in itching, loose white or yellow flakes which fall off. Dandruff may lead to problems like inflamed scalp condition, hair loss, acne and also itchy skin. The pH balance of the scalp gets disturbed which leads to sebaceous secretions and the dandruff (scales) tend to stick on to the scalp.
