Flaking and dandruff are often used interchangeably, but dandruff specifically refers to the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. Flaking, on the other hand, can be a more general term that includes skin shedding from various parts of the body. Dandruff on the scalp is often associated with a yeast-like fungus and can result in itching, while flaking may occur due to dry skin or other conditions. Dandruff is characterized by an overproduction of oleic acid, leading to an excessive buildup of flakes, often with a yellow or white color.
