5. Dandruff
On top of this, you might also notice that you have the appearance of what looks like dandruff in the hair. This is caused by the skin flaking away and will likely get worse when you itch it. You can ease this discomfort and combat the appearance with a little tea tree oil.
This healthy, natural product is a natural antimicrobial and disinfectant, meaning it is able to kill off the tiny fungi (this is a fungal infection) that causes the symptoms. Tea tree oil is also moisturizing and nourishing for the skin and so can help to repair the damage done.
