There are a number of things that could cause this, or a combination of things. This could be an allergy, either environmental or food. Or it could be a staph or a yeast infection, and your dog could also have an allergy to fleas. The dry skin and dandruff (depending on the cause) is sometimes treated with a supplement containing vitaman E and Omega 6 fatty acids, with other ingredients essential for a healthy coat. Derm Caps is the brand our vet prefers, and comes in capsule form or liquid, that is mixed into their food. But you really need to have your vet examine the dog for a proper diagnosis and treatment. If it's a staph or yeast infection, it could get much worse, and lead to complications.

When i get dandruff what does that mean?

Dandruff is the cause of having a dry scalp ( the scalp is the top of your head where your hair is). When you have dry skin on your scalp, it starts coming off and you get little flakes of skin in your hair. It is itchy and uncomfortable. To get rid of it you can buy dandruff shampoo. The best , most affordable, and most common brand is called Head and Shoulders. Try to get a scented one, because the regular smells like glue. It should get rid of your dandruff. Also, try not to itch your head, because that will make you dandruff get worse. Hope this helps!

Why is dandruff bad for your hair?

Hard water certainly contributes since the soap combines with the water mineral and sticks to your skin, becoming an irritant. Certain skin disorders or a fungus called M.furfur can cause or contribute to dandruff. If a water softener isn't an option, try a good dandruff shampoo. Doctors often recommend Selsun but you may want to ask your doctor for his/her recommendations.

How do you know if you have lice or dandruff?

Head lice: ask a friend with good eyesight to examine your scalp closely in a bright light. Body lice: examine the seams of clothes you have been wearing next to the body. I mean take them off and look at them straight away. It's no good if you take them out of your drawer. Pubic (crab) lice: Look at the skin under your pubic hair with a magnifying glass. All these lice are very small, whitish, and look like little crabs or scorpions. They move slowly.
