I am a swimmer with a real dandruff problem. A. Dandruff has little, if anything, to do with spending time in a swimming pool.
Dandruff is dead skin.
Millions of skin cells are constantly being manufactured in the deep layers of our skin. When the cells eventually arrive at their destination, they are rubbed off in the form of tiny flakes. This shedding of the outer layer of the skin is a normal process. Unfortunately, these flakes can get trapped by the hair and the oil in the scalp to form tiny clumps called dandruff. But only 20 percent of the population has a noticeable problem with dandruff.
