Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Your problem of dandruff and oily scalp with itching has been persisting because of irregular treatment.
Kindly do the following to overcome your problem effectively:
1. Use Ketoconazole shampoo daily for 3 weeks and alternate days thereafter.
2. Twice a week along with it you need to use Selenium and Zinc containing shampoo as well.
3. Practice meditation to beat the stress.
4. Eat healthy foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants for healthier hair and scalp.
Your problem should be under control in about a month time.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
