Suggest Treatment For Dandruff After Under Going Chemotherapy

i finished chemo 3 months ago, my hair is growing back slowly but now i seem to have dandruff, which I never had before. It doesnt really itch. Is this normal, due to me still wearing a wig sometimes or what? I have just started using head and shoulders shampoo but haven t seen any improvement yet.
