Severe dandruff
Hi, I have had severe dandruff for years. 9 years ago I was prescribed halox s lotion application and then wash with Scalpe shampoo. This has been the only medication that works to control dandruff for me even now. However, another doctor had prescribed anabloom shampoo and a different cream for application on scalp. That didn't work. I have read on multiple forums not to use halox s lotion for a long time. I am afraid I may have already overused it. Is it ok to continue usage once or twice a week?
Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing dandruff... Specific medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.
