Epidermal changes associated with symptomatic resolution of dandruff: biomarkers of scalp health

Background  Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by flakes, pruritus and sometimes mild erythema. These symptoms reflect underlying histopathologic and biochemical events that must be reversed if treatment is to be effective.
