Dandruff and Fungus
- Dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis, is linked to a specific fungus that thrives on sebum (skin oil).
- This fungus causes inflammation and flaky skin, often seen in teenagers, and those over 50.
Dandruff, Hormones, and Insulin Resistance
- Dandruff is associated with PCOS and insulin resistance, conditions linked to high androgen levels.
- High insulin increases androgens, leading to increased sebum production, feeding the dandruff-causing fungus.
