Too much Dandruff

2025-06-01 10:32:13
I have dandruff throughout the year. It's increasing with age. Big and flaky. It has increased so much that now it started flakinf on my forehead too. And because of dandruff i have frequent styes. I have tries anti dandruff shampoos before but they didn't help me. I am a model hence i cannot keep my scalp oiled for the entire week. I have extremely long hair, they touch my knees, so I can't me washing it daily.

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand how distressing persistent scalp flaking and long hair management can be. However, not all flaky scalp conditions are simply "dandruff." Based on your description, year-round symptoms, forehead involvement, it is important to rule out conditions like sebopsoriasis, scalp psoriasis, or even severe seborrheic dermatitis, which may look similar but require entirely different, targeted treatment. I would recommend a detailed examination so that we can arrive at a clear diagnosis and offer personalised, evidence-based treatment tailored to your scalp and hair care routine. You’re welcome to book an appointment for a thorough evaluation.
