A member asked:

What can cause dandruff and why is baking soda + acv not working?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use real Rx: If you insist on a "natural" remedy, then your options still include coal tar, selenium, ketoconazole, and the common blue stuff with zinc. Forget the baking soda stuff, it's an Internet claim that will disappoint you.
