I am suffering from dandruff and great hairloss for some days. Then I started using anti dandruff shampoo head and shoulders, but it makes my hair rough and dry and it also increased my hairfall. Tell me how can I get rid of dandruff?

Dandruff is a generalised term but under this heading there are many other disorders. It can be psoriasis, dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis amentecia etc. It is important to check the condition of scalp. Oil helps in conditioning the scalp. Start oiling the scalp3/week and wash the scalp with mild scalp cleanser daily. Making these changes, keep a check on dandruff. If it settles then don't worry but if it persist then consult trichologist.
