How Can Severe Dandruff Be Treated?

I have quite flaky scalp and severe dandruff problem. Recently I brought nizral 2% solution from pharmacy.. Can I mix it with any other shampoo and use it as nizral is very hard and will it work for me? Also refer which mild shampoo can be used along with it?

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Nizral 2% shampoo should be used alone and not mixed with any other shampoo. I hope this will help you as sometimes it makes dandruff worse.

I usually recommended my patients to apply olive oil on the hair roots for at least 30 minutes before having a shower.

Among the other shampoo, those containing menthol can help with dandruff.

Hope this helps.

I find this answer helpful
