Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff.

Please call me or contact me with photos through online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment. There is a specific treatment for excess seborrhoea recurrent boils which you have described.
