Dandruff: Special shampoos from the drugstore can treat dandruff. Common ingredients include: ketoconazole fights dandruff-causing fungus. Salicylic acid gets rid of flaky skin but can be drying. Selenium sulfide slows the buildup of dead skin cells and fights fungi. Tar slows dead skin cell buildup, but may discolor blonde, gray, or color-treated hair. Zinc pyrithione attacks the cause which is fungus.
