Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dandruff can take a very long time to be treated. It is important that you leave the anti-dandruff shampoo on wet scalp for at least 7 to 10 minutes before washing it off and use it at least 3 to 4 times a week. Once the dandruff subsides do not stop using the shampoo, but make sure you increase the gaps between usage. Also you could visit a dermatologist to get your scalp examined to rule out scalp psoriasis which is a chronic skin disorder which involved dryness and flakes with bleeding.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
