Dandruff, scales as very small flakes

2017-07-29 04:26:22
I was having light dandruff from last few years which will be on and off. Recently I am observing that the dandruff is increasing and visible as white dots in the hair. Sometimes I can see very small flakes come out from certain places. I have been to a dermatologist and they have given some shampoo and lotion, not helping. Please suggest.
