Alright well, I have a serious case of dandruff.. I don't know why because I wash my hair everyday and I really don't know what else to do. This is really effecting my social life and I was wondering if I could get some pointers on how to get rid of this..
I would suggest you to take specific treatment for dandruff.
A 2% ketoconazole antidandruff shampoo for scalp wash, every alternate day for 2-4 weeks should be effective for mild to moderate dandruff.
Since dandruff is bound to recur again, therefore it should be followed by once or twice weekly use for maintenance.
However, if using a shampoo alone proves insufficient/inadequate, you would benefit from using a topical steroid solution at the scalp skin, once or twice daily along with an antidandruff shampoo.
Steroid lotion can be stopped once your dandruff is relieved, thereafter you may continue with the shampoo for maintenance.
regards
