Hi, your scalp needs to be examined to rule out dry scalp conditions which are treated with stronger medicines. Ketoconazole shampoo helps in treatment of dandruff. Avoid oiling your scalp. Use a mild shampoo like triclenz first and anti dandruff shampoo later. Do see your local dermatologist or consult online for further assessment and advice.

Just like pimples elsewhere, pimples on the scalp occur when a pore or hair follicle gets clogged with dead skin cells or sebum, which is the natural oil the skin uses to keep itself moisturized. To get rid of pimples on your forehead, start with good skin care. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. This will remove excess oil from your skin. If that doesn't work, try an otc acne cream that contains ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Hello lybrate-user!
mild dandruff can be treated with a gentle daily shampoo. If symptoms are returning then you need to shampoo daily and use anti dandruff shampoo twice a week. If the shampoo which you are using isnât effective then switch to other anti dandruff shampoo which contain zinc / selenium sulphide/ salicylic acid. Moisturise your scalp by applying aloe vera, almond oil at night and shampoo next morning.
