Dandruff for 3 months

2017-10-31 11:55:35
Dandruff for last 3 months. Have been using oil everyday but no respite. Also tried selsun shampoo but no improvement.. No previous history of dandruff. It suddenly started when I changed shampoo from head and shoulders to patanjali herbal shampoo (this could be just a coincidence also)

Actually it might not be a co-incidence. Herbal products themselves do not cause any harm but the solutions they are prepared in can cause dermatitis. What you have is called seborrhoeic eczema.
