This only really happens if i havent showered in a day or more but my scalp will get significantly itchy and it feels very good, if a little painful to scratch it. I do have dandruff but it is only really noticable at these moments...there is never any residue on my clothes but if i ruffle my hair (and i mean hard) flakes begin to fall. I really think i should stop this habit since my scalp gets a little red if i do it too much and i think i might have something other than dandruff? Not sure...sorry for the vague post but any help is appreciated.

Oh also i guess i am scratching the dandruff away before it falls of it's own accord? It feels too good but i just wish to be rid of this malady

    Avoid scratching. When you scratch you beak the skin and make yourself vulnerable to infection

    Wash your hair more often and use a dandruff shampoo man. Unless you secretly like scratching the flakes. But dandruff is actually caused by yeast. Try to cut back on eating sugar.
