Dandruff issue
I have had dandruff for a long time and an oily, itchy scalp. I also experience hair fall, though it has reduced recently. However, if I skip washing my hair for a day, dandruff reappears. I have no skin conditions. I’ve tried regular anti-dandruff shampoos, but the problem persists. What could be the cause, and what treatment or shampoo do you recommend?
