Suggest Treatment For Recurring Dandruff
Brief Answer:
Dandruff is recurrent problem; requires regular antidandruff shampoo
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Dandruff is a recurring scalp condition, specially in winters.
In those who have it need to use an antidandruff shampoo e.g a ketoconazole based antidandruff shampoo, rather than a regular shampoo.
Besides dandruff, certain scalp conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis may also be present with scalp scaling and itching, which may be mistaken as dandruff.
I would like to know more from you regarding the query.
-Is your dandruff of severe kind? Is it diffuse or does it affect in patches?
-Which shampoo do you use regularly? and how often do you shampoo?
-How effective is the shampoo in benefiting your problem?
Regards
