Hi Welcome to HealthcareMagic

The treatment of seborrhea (dandruff) is directed at fighting the skin inflammation. Consult a dermatologist for the same. You might be prescribed cortisone-based creams and lotions (which reduce inflammation), and an anti fungal shampoo, which reduces the yeast that builds up on scaly areas and adds to the problem.
