dandruff

Looks like

forfeit

to lose or give up something as a penalty

⚠️ The trap

Forfora = dandruff (flaky scalp). It sounds like 'forfeit' but has absolutely nothing to do with penalties or giving something up.

To say "to lose or give up something as a penalty" in Italian:

rinunciare, perdere per penalità (for forfeit)

"forfora" in English means:

dandruff

Example

"Uso uno shampoo speciale per la forfora."

"I use a special shampoo for dandruff."
