Is dandruff white or yellow?
I've been dealing with flakes for a while now, sometimes they look really white but other times they have a yellowish tint. Is this still just dandruff, or is there a difference between the white and yellow ones?

It can actually be both! Mostly it's white, like dry skin flakes. But if it's more yellowish and a bit oily or greasy, it could be a sign of seborrheic dermatitis, which is a common skin condition related to a yeast. Either way, treatable hai.
Usually white, haan. Yellowish could indicate an oilier type of dandruff or a fungal thing. While exercise is good for overall health, for dandruff, external treatment is key. Maybe a derm visit is like a 'check-up' for your scalp!
Haan, most of the time it's white, like small dry flakes. But sometimes, especially agar oily scalp hai na, toh thoda yellowish bhi ho sakta hai. Don't worry, both are quite common forms of dandruff. Just needs the right treatment.
Oh god, dandruff! It's like my scalp has decided to sprinkle snow or a bit of turmeric on my head. Mostly white, but if you have oily scalp, sometimes it gets a yellowish tinge. Either way, it's annoying. Doc ko dikhao, peace of mind milega.
Dandruff flakes are usually white, like tiny dry pieces. My mother used to say if it's yellow and sticky, it means the scalp is more oily. But truly, for proper diagnosis and good treatment, consult a doctor. They know best, no?

It can be both, actually. White is typically dry scalp. Yellowish and greasy usually points to seborrheic dermatitis, which is a bit different and sometimes needs specific anti-fungal treatment. Whatever the colour, if it's persistent, please see a dermatologist. Don't let it worsen.
