Jeez i had no idea this was even a thing other people were going threw. I thought i was just a weirdo. I know when i started tho, i was at the beach and my brother threw sand at my head and i got so much sand in my hair, and for the next week i was casually trying to scratch the sand off my scalp. . . and well never stopped. Its somthing about scratching and having dirt or i guess skin come off my head, UGH it'a so disgusting. I think it might be a compulsive problem.
i do exactly the same thing, i know you feel like your getting rid off the dead skin cells, but trust me your only making matters worse
Sometimes I brush my hair while i'm taking a sh*t. I like the way it feels when the little snowflakes hit my thighs. One time I was at my computer and I needed to sh*t, and I was brushing my head for dandruff flakes and then I ended up sh**ting my pants.
OMG, you people are freaks! You pick your dandruff flakes? You should all be put away in an insane asylum!
Just kidding. I am 62 and still making it snow. I find it mesmerizing. I like to make the flakes fall onto my black notebook. Then gather it all up and make a big pile. Then I blow it all away and chuckle with delight.
Someone, please help me!
Wow, id love to compare your flakes with mine, im a 40 year old male and as I write my laptop is covered in dandruff, its a b****r cleaning between the key pads, I also have head scabs from time to time and when I go for a hair cut the barber always manages to slice through the scab in one strike, it hurts like hell and stings to high heaven but I kind of like it.
As I type, my laptop is covered in nice big huge flakes, I love it, and not worried by stopping!
I have the same problem!! I'm also 19 and I just can't stip picking at the dandruff and I used to have SO much hair but after having this disorder I've noticed that I'm beginning to lose A LOT of hair. I really want to stop, I don't want to go bald.
My name is kyle pineda and i have dandruff and i keep on scatching it and it hurts and am just a teen ager
It's borderline OCD. ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed
Monkeys do it.its normal.
Okay you seriously just set my mind at ease. I have been doing the same thing for as long as I can remember and it grosses my Mother out, but I just love the flavor and the texture. I have very long thick nails so when I scratch it stays under my nails until no one is looking and I can eat it. At work I have a black office chair that I will lean over and run my hands through my hair and get as many flakes out as possible and eat it all.

I am from India and am suffering from dandruff 5 years. Initially( like for 3 years it used to bleed whenever I picked my scalp but now it isn’t bleeding. I have tried reducing the amount of time I ‘m spending on scalp picking. Do you thing my follicles would be damaged and would there be any improvement if I stop picking my scalp from now on?
I'm afraid if I can cause any scalp disorder
I wonder that too. I had one of the size of the tip of my pinky. It was really large. I kept it in some plastic wrap for a long time. Somehow it got thrown away. It's so cool that people do the same thing that I do.
