Hi Doctor,Ive been noticing something odd lately and I wanted to ask if theres any connection between dandruff and masturbation. It seems like every time I masturbate, I get a lot of dandruff in my hair, especially brown-colored flakes. When I dont, I notice less dandruff. I didnt have this issue before I started, and Im a bit worried. Could there be any link?

Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
