Selsun blue: You can try a dandruff shampoo. Follow the instructions in leaving it on your scalp the recommended amount of time. Sometimes it helps a lot. There are oral antibiotics for resistant cases. Some patients report that daily heavy sweating in the gym or running for more than 45 minutes per day flushes out the oil glands in a week and leads to less acne. So try the exercise and dandruff shampoo first.
