A member asked:
When dealing with dandruff, what is a best solution for an otc medicated shampoo, one with salicylic acid or coal tar? what are notable differences?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: different people find different things work on regular dandruff. (You didn't mention selenium... one of the milder ones). OTC Salicylate AND/or COAL TAR are pretty harsh. generally we go with milder and work up. If there is eczema (red itching rash) elsewhere, an anti-inflammatory is a better direction to go.
