Young lady Understand your situation. Most doctors only prescribe a shampoo or topical application. However, seborrhea capitis or dandruff is multifaceted. Stressors play a huge role in its cause and perpetuation. Consider a counsellor if this is a factor in your life. You are most welcome to connect with me Online and since Hyderabad is not too far from Bengaluru, a connect in-person is also welcome as per your preference and convenience Let's look at fixing it a little more permanently and perhaps a bit more detailed personal history will be required to address this peaky issue. Godspeed 🙏
