forfora secca
This is from college coursework, it is an information leaflet regarding dandruff and the different treatments available. I am stuck on this term, should I translate it as dry dandruff or dry scalp?
Grazie!

TIPI DI FORFORA E MALATTIE DEL CUOIO CAPELLUTO
La forfora o pityriasis capitis è una desquamazione acuta o cronica del cuoio capelluto.
Esistono diversi tipi di forfora (es. forfora secca, forfora grassa, etc) che talora si possono accompagnare a vere e proprie malattie dermatologiche del cuoio capelluto a decorso cronico recidivante. In tutti gli individui si verifica una desquamazione fisiologica quasi impercettibile ad occhio nudo, dovuto al naturale ricambio (turnover) dello strato corneo dell'epidermide, visibile osservando da vicino i capelli da ingrandimento o mediante dermatoscopia del cuoio capelluto.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Dry dandruff
However, dry dandruff flakes are small and white and they fall off the head and out of the hair.
