It is not contagious. <\/p>\r\n            <ul class=\"styled-list\">\r\n                <li><strong>What Causes It?:<\/strong> The primary triggers are the overgrowth of a yeast fungus called <em>Malassezia<\/em>, which naturally resides on the scalp, the skin's sensitive immune response to this fungus, and the quality of sebum (skin oil) secretion. Stress, fatigue, seasonal changes, and cold weather attacks can exacerbate it. <\/li>\r\n                <li><strong>What Are Its Symptoms?:<\/strong> Dandruff on the scalp, mild or severe redness, oily and yellowish scales, and an occasionally bothersome itching sensation.<\/li>\r\n                <li><strong>What Should Be Done?:<\/strong> Using random shampoos or irritating the skin by thinking \"it will pass\" can worsen the condition. The disease can be kept under control with dermatologically approved medical shampoos and appropriate care products. <\/li>\r\n            <\/ul>\r\n        <\/section>\r\n\r\n        <!-- Hekimler \u0130\u00e7in Klinik K\u0131lavuz -->\r\n        <section class=\"doctor-guide-box\">\r\n            <h3>\ud83e\ude7a Clinical & Medical Guide for Physicians<\/h3>\r\n            <ul class=\"styled-list doctor-list\">\r\n                <li><strong>Etiology and Pathophysiology:<\/strong> Increased lipid metabolites caused by <em>Malassezia<\/em> yeast species, keratinocyte proliferation, and accompanying mild-to-moderate perivascular inflammation.<\/li>\r\n                <li><strong>Diagnostic Criteria and Clinical Findings:<\/strong> Widespread erythema on the scalp and border areas, with slightly oily, white-yellowish scales.
