No it is useless. Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff. There are some other conditions also which can present like flaking of the scalp and have to be ruled out. Do not apply oil on scalp as it will increase the problem. Please call me or contact me with photos through online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment.,

Tea tree oil for its moisturising and antifungal property can be used in dandruff treatment. Ideally you should use a good shampoo that contains 5percent essential tea tree oil or u can add 5 to 10 drops of tea tree oil to ur current shampoo n shake it well b4 use.
