Hi, I am facing serious problem of dandruff - flakes since long. Used all type of shampoo-ketoconazole based, ayurvedic, D free, hair oils, homeopathic medicine and what not. But it is not going completely, only changing it's intensity. It is creating flakes on skin, around 3 to 5 mm in size. Also it is spread on ear outer skin. Suggest effective treatment method.

Hello, Dandruff is an infection of scalp due to P.ovale. Dandruff is a common chronic scalp condition marked by flaking of the skin on your scalp. Measures to combat dandruff: 1) use an antidandruff shampoo like selsun, every sunday for 4 weekends. 2) eat vitamin b and zinc supplement. 3) manage stress. 4) do not oil your scalp, but maintain cleanliness of scalp by shampooing twice a week and rinse hair properly after shampoo. Revert back if further help needed. Incase you wish proper medicinal help you may consult me online through Lybrate.
