Severe dandruff from several years

2024-01-12 15:10:57
I have had severe dandruff ( a layer) on my scalp for several years, I have tried medical shampoos too but nothing ever works. There is no redness or pain but it itches too much. My diet consists of mostly homemade food. Only sometimes I eat from outside.
