Question

I'm dealing with dandruff and noticed my hair's been thinning since I was 23. It's getting pretty thin now. Is it okay for me to try using a derma roller on my scalp even though I've got dandruff?

1. *Infection risk*: Derma rolling can push dandruff flakes and bacteria deeper into the scalp, leading to infections. 2. *Irritation*: Derma rolling can cause micro-injuries, which may exacerbate dandruff irritation and inflammation. *Preparation is Key* Before using a derma roller on dandruff-affected hair: 1. *Treat the dandruff*: Use an anti-dandruff shampoo and scalp treatment for at least 2-3 weeks to reduce flaking and inflammation.
