Answer:

Dandruff is a fungal infection caused by the organism pityrosporum ovale, an organism naturally living in human skin (even in those with no dandruff ). Environmental triggers like humidity, lack of hygiene, excessive sweating, low immunity, hypersensitivity to the organism, hormonal imbalance may increase the number of this organism in the skin resulting in the inflammation of the scalp perceived as flaking. Hence presence or absence of hair does not affect the multiplication of this organism. Also what one perceives as dandruff in a bald person may also be a kind of eczema.

If it is eczema, it needs professional treatment. But something that can be used at home is coconut oil. Hydrating the skin with coconut oil daily can help keep the skin moisturized and reduce the incidence of eczema. It needs to be checked by a dermatologist right away.

Answer:

Dandruff appears as dry white scales when the skin on the scalp sheds its dead cells. The problem is aggravated because of the presence of hair on the scalp. For bald people, many of the conditions that would promote the development of most of these issues are mitigated.

In the absence of hair, it is easy to exfoliate the head thereby removing the dry skin cells. Therefore, the chances that dandruff will occur in bald people is extremely low. Though exceptions are always there. Some hair specialists have received cases of dandruff in bald head. Sometimes it indicates some serious problem but most of the times, it is due to their extreme-dry scalp condition.
