A member asked:
I am suffering from excessive hairfall, i have oily dandruff, i have used nizoral (ketoconazole) shampoo but it has made my hair very rough and frizzy, what can i do?

Over-washing hair?: Dandruff (seborrhea) is common. Shampoos with zinc, salicylic acid, selenium, or coal tar are sold in many stores. Nizoral shampoo (contains anti-fungal) is also available. Doctors may also recommend cortisone or kenalog (triamcinolone) sprays. Prevent dryness (don't wash hair too often). A primary doctor or dermatologist can look for psoriasis, eczema, or fungal infections if unusual or worrisome scalp symptoms.
