I want to get rid of dandruff
I want to get rid of my dandruff. I have lost almost 50% of my hair due to dandruff. I have tried some products but won't help. I have dandruff for almost 8-9 years now. It has always left my hair extremely dry. Please help.
Hi
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is caused by yeast which is normally present on scalp. However when equilibrium between host and yeast is disturbed, it starts proliferating causing dandruff.
Dandruff can be controlled by medicines.
It is actively treated first and then has to be maintained with shampoos.
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist with photographs for treatment
Health Tips
avoid using hair oil as it worsens seborrhoeic dermatitis.
