Extreme itchy scalp

2021-01-20 02:29:02
I started using hairmax forte 5% lotion with my doctors advise but within a week it caused me extreme itching on my scalp and dandruff also. I stopped using that lotion but the itching is not going away, I have been using oils always , now suddenly I have stopped using bcoz of medicines, can this be the reason of aggravated itching and dandruff? I m advised by doctor to use ultiderm lotion for a week, it has steroids, is it safe to use ? And should I continue using my oils along with scalp lotions ?
