Beard dandruff
Hi, I just found that I am having a lot of dandruff as I am growing a beard. I see my shirt is getting filled with dandruff. This happened earlier as well once. And my skin underneath my beard is also slightly itchy. When I scratch it, white flakes form under finger nails. Any suggestive ointments or creams will be greatly appreciated. I have Kevon lotion at home. Can I use it and what dosage? Thanks.

Hi. Dandruff in beard area is a common issue, esp in those who have scalp dandruff as well. This is known as seborrheic dermatitis. One of the best thing to do is to trim the beard hair short. See a qualified dermatologist near you in person so that medications/ shampoos/ creams can be prescribed according to severity of the issue. Warm regards, Dr Govind S Mittal, Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru.
