Question: I am suffering with very bad dandruff and have tried multiple shampoos and home remedies but nothing has helped. Please advise a solution.
Brief Answer:
Seborrheic dermatitis; coal tar based shampoo and topical steroid lotion
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
You may use a coal tar and salicylic acid based shampoo e.g either Protar solution Or Salytar Scalp solution (shampoo base). Lather it well onto wet scalp and leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse it off with water.
In addition you may also use Ultiderm lotion (Fluocinolone acetonide 0.1% lotion) for overnight scalp application for 2 weeks.
Regards
