Is it bad to pick dandruff off your scalp? And is dandruff bad for your hair?

Heyy, thanks for asking luna 💛
It's not great to pick at your scalp, as it can cause irritation and even lead to infection. Dandruff itself isn't harmful, but it can be annoying and make your scalp itchy. If you have dandruff, it's best to treat it with a dandruff shampoo or speak to a pharmacist for advice.
