Zinc or selenium : Some of the best remedies for dandruff are shampoos containing zinc or selenium like head and shoulders or selsun blue. Tougher cases require prescription shampoos or steroid lotions.

Try conservative tx: Try a dandruff shampoo like head & shoulders first. If that doesn't help, you may need to see a doctor for advice on moisturizing your scalp or possibly treating an occult fungal infection.
