Dandruff and Itchy Scalp Consultation in Lahore
Recurring flakes and an itchy scalp can be frustrating, especially when products have not helped. A GP-led appointment gives you time to describe the symptoms, what you have tried and whether the scalp needs direct examination.
Service information by Skin Consult Lahore. Consultations with Dr Sukaina Raza, MBBS. PMDC 948943-01-M.
Dandruff and other causes of scalp flaking
Dandruff commonly causes flakes and sometimes itching. Other scalp conditions can also cause scaling. Redness, swelling, marked itching or symptoms that persist despite dandruff shampoo should be assessed by a clinician.
Describe what you have already tried
Bring shampoo or product names, frequency of use and how long you have used them. Mention reactions to hair dye or new products, and whether flaking affects other areas. This gives the doctor a clearer picture than simply saying a shampoo did not work.
When a clinic appointment may be useful
Tell the doctor about hair loss, soreness or visible changes alongside the flakes. The service can advise whether online photos provide enough information or a closer examination is needed. Treatment recommendations depend on the assessment.

Common questions
Does dandruff mean my scalp is dirty?
No. Dandruff is not caused by poor hygiene, although infrequent washing can make flakes more noticeable.
Can recurring flakes be reviewed online?
You can submit scalp photos and a history for an initial review. The doctor may advise examination if the symptoms or images do not provide enough information.
