This refers to small, rice bran-like, grayish-white scales that form when the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, peels off. It is the colloquial name for dry seborrhea. When it accumulates in large quantities on the skin surface, it can cause redness and itching, which is commonly known as dandruff. It is most common on the hairy scalp, where it is called pityriasis capitis. If left untreated, it can lead to hair loss.
