Itchiness is a common sign of dandruff. But when accompanied by small bumps on the scalp, it could be a sign of other conditions. What symptoms to look for.
If you have dandruff, you probably have an itchy scalp. In fact, itchiness is one of the first warning signs before flakes appear.
The itchiness associated with dandruff is due to an irritated scalp, and when you scratch, you may further damage your scalp, leading to the formation of bumps.
However, there are other conditions that could cause these bumps. So, to rule out dandruff, it's best to also look for other symptoms:
• white flakes on the scalp and hair
• dry and tight scalp
You can also try using an anti-dandruff shampoo to see if it resolves the issue before considering other possibilities.

What if it's not dandruff?

Therefore, if you are sure it is not dandruff, it would be advisable to see your doctor or dermatologist for a diagnosis and to keep your symptoms under control.
