A member asked:
My 13 years old son went to a doc, who said who should use selsun for his dandruff daily, but isn't daily excessive? this dries the hair so much.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OK: OK to use daily. Can use a conditioner rinse after. There are several shampoos to try, including ketoconazole (Nizoral), DHS-Zn, DHS-SA, Head & Shoulders. See which he likes best. Not expensive, not prescription. Also T-Gel, T-Sal.
