Dermatologist: It is possible that you have seborrhea or psoriasis, and not simple dandruff. See a dermatologist for evaluation.

Seborrhea: Usually when "dandruff" appears as flakiness over the eyebrows, it is not simple dandruff. Probably seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. I would recommend a consult with a dermatologist.
