A member asked:

Terrible dandruff. tried 3 brands of shampoos, white & apple cidar vinegar, tea tree oil. nothings working. how can i get rid of this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: You've tried all the over-the-counter remedies with no help. I suggest you see a dermatologist to determine the cause and prescribe a medicine to help it. Could be an infection or an inflammatory condition like psoriasis.
