I just want to know if there is any relationship between dandruff and masturbation. I noticed that when I masturbate in a particular week, l have a lot of dandruff in my hair during that time. If I don’t masturbate, then I have less dandruff.
Earlier I never had this problem. It only started after I started to masturbate.
There is no proven association between masturbation and dandruff. Any practice in excess is unhealthy. However, masturbation does not increase the chances of developing dandruff.
Regular washing of the hair and maintaining a healthy scalp help reduce dandruff.
Dandruff can also be easily managed using medicated shampoos. These shampoos may have to be continued for many weeks.
Several hormonal changes also take place around puberty. This is why dandruff is also common during the teenage years.
Around this time, oil production over the scalp increases. Because of this, fungal infections such as dandruff are more common.
A dermatologist can guide regarding specific management if dandruff is present for long.
