Common Grounds (Modified from this and this) :

• Background Inflammation

  Both pimples and dandruff are inflammatory disorders, where inflammation initiate as well as perpetuate the condition.

• Faulty keratinization

  The process of formation and shedding of the uppermost layer of skin is at fault in both of the disorders. in dandruff, the flakes are composed of loosened skin cells, whereas in pimples, loosened skin cells clog the pores of oil producing glands.

• A defect in Sebum composition

  The expert doctor at ACNE CARE CLINIC suggests that quality of sebum got changed in cases of pimples and dandruff.

• The role of commensal microorganism

  So many microorganisms are normally present over the body without affecting our health. Malassezia furfur and Propionibacterium acnes are two commensal organisms present inside our hair follicle, where former causes dandruff and later causes acne.

• Aggravated by irritants

  Harsh soaps, shampoos are known to increase both dandruff and pimples through their irritant effect on the skin.

• Excess sunlight exposure

  Increases the tendency of getting pimples as well as dandruff.

• Skin dryness increases both of them

  Acne expert opines that frequent washing of face may lead to dryness of skin, which may worsen acne.  Similarly, excessive dryness of scalp also aggravates dandruff.

• Individual’s Genetic susceptibility

  Not everyone gets dandruff or pimples. a background genetic susceptibility is required to have any of the two.

• Emotional stress 

Emotional stress may not cause pimples or dandruff, but it surely aggravates them.

So both the clinical conditions share common developmental as well as aggravating factors. Thus they may show ups and downs simultaneously in a given individual, leading to a misconception that one gives rise to another.
