Malassezia species is one of the most abundant species of human skin micro biota is found to be associated with skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis and Dandruff.despite the importance of Malassezia in common skin disease, little is known at the molecular level. A BLAST P was carried out of selected genes of malassezia species. M.restricta was found to share similarity with plant pathogen Ustilago mayids and distant human pathogen Candida albicans. A Culstal W analysis was also carried out to find the convergent and divergent traits of Malassezia species. A random sampling method and a questionnaire was applied to about 243 subjects out of which 152 were females and remaining 91 were males. Out of these 15.9% reported excessive scalp flaking. The prevalence of dandruff was found to decrease with age, more prevalence was found in the age group 25-34 years. Scalp pruritus was found to be more severe in patients with dandruff then with patients without dandruff. All kinds of antidandruff products and home remedies were found to be least effective among the subjects. The data was collected from beauty salons of Indore division and hair clinics. Scientist needs to devise a method of treatment for this increasing problem of dandruff and scalp pruritus among the human population.
