Hi,
Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. As the epidermal layer continually replaces itself .cells are pushed outward where they eventually die and flake off.
1. Dandruff has been shown to be the result of three required to as Sebum or Sebaceous secretions.
2.The metabolic by products of skin micro-organisms [ most specifically Malassezia yeasts ]
3.Individual susceptibility.
The severity of dandruff may fluctuate with season as it often worsens in winter.
Most cases of dandruff can be easily treated with specialized shampoos.
Neem has anti-fungal properties that can be effective in treating dandruff.
Powdered black pepper has been used to treat dandruff.
Lemen juice and egg white mask has been proven effective to cure dandruff.

Hi belle,
Welcome to HCM.
Use anti-dandruff shampoo. Have regular head bath. If possible apply vegetable edible oil on the scalp.
Take calcium and multivitamin tablet, once a day for 1 month.
If you have generalised itching, then investigations are needed to determine the cause.
See if it is the detergent soap that you use, is the cause of itching. If that be the case, change the brand of detergent soap that you use.
