Accepted Answer

Controlling dandruff: Dandruff (seborrhea) is common. Shampoos with zinc, salicylic acid, selenium, or coal tar are sold in many stores. Nizoral shampoo (contains anti-fungal) is also available. Doctors may also recommend cortisone or kenalog (triamcinolone) sprays. Prevent dryness (don't wash hair too often). A primary doctor or dermatologist can look for psoriasis, eczema, or fungal infections if unusual or worrisome scalp symptoms.

Question 4

i have oily hair and dandruff problem. is it ok if i wash it every day with a baby shampoo?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Baby shampoo won't hurt your hair. However, it may not be the most effective for dandruff. You may want to also consider alternating with a product specifically for dandruff.

Question 5

i have bad dandruff. tried washing my hair with antidandruff shampoo & keeping my hair & scalp moisturised to no avail.  i wash my hair every 2-3 weeks since i keep my hair in protective styles(braids) it feels like a scab when i touch the dandruff?

Accepted Answer

: The right treatment for the wrong condition is seldom curative. It may be that you really have a different problem like scalp fingus or psoriasis. Without an exam &amp; some testing it is hard to suggest a course of treatment.

Question 6

due to mental health problems, my hygiene has been bad for 2 years. i have a lot of buildup of thick, crusty dandruff on my scalp from lack of showers. it feels like my hair is thinning due to this. is this reversible with treatment/shampoo?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, normal cleanliness should help slow restoration. Good Luck

Question 7

i develop an itchy scalp every few days. it seems like dandruff - when i rub i can see small white things falling off. when i wash my hair with shampoo, i have to rub my scalp with a towel to get rid of the flakes. what could it be? in my ear as well?

Accepted Answer

: Dandruff is a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. When there's involvement of facial areas,including ears, a more moderate degree of seborrheic dermatitis is present. For best treatment &amp; follow-up care a dermatologist is best to consult. You could try an antidandruff shampoo which your pharmacist can recommend.

Question 8

what shampoo should be used for an oily dandruff hair ?!

Accepted Answer

SO many ones: Find a good shampoo for oily hair and lather up with your fingernails scratching your head.  This will remove a lot of the dead skin of the scalp that causes dandruff.  Shampoos with selenium sulfide seem to help a lot of people.  There is, however, no true cure.

Question 9
