Similar signs can have different causes
Dandruff may cause scattered flakes and itching. Other scalp conditions can look similar. Patchy hair loss, broken hairs or marked inflammation should not be dismissed as ordinary dandruff.
NHS guidance explains that scalp ringworm usually needs prescription antifungal tablets and shampoo. A clinician should determine treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Is dandruff caused by not washing hair?
No. It involves sebum, skin and yeast factors. Infrequent cleansing can make flakes more visible, but dandruff is not proof of poor hygiene.
Does Selezol Plus treat every scalp fungal condition?
No. It is a targeted dandruff shampoo within its approved use, while some infections require diagnosis and prescription oral treatment.
No. Flaking has several possible causes and does not establish a ringworm diagnosis.
Does all dandruff mean scalp ringworm?
The product directions specify 3–5 minutes before thorough rinsing.
