Dandruff and small wounds in my head
I am facing dandruff problem and small wounds in my head. I consulted dermatologist 1 year back. Doctor suggested to apply a lotion (forgot name) in the night and to take shower with Kenz Sal shampoo. Went good for some time but again the problem repeated.

Thanks for the query. Severe dandruff could indicate dandruff itself which is significant or can indicate beginning of some other skin condition like Seborrheic dermatitis or Scalp psoriasis. Based on your description of pain on the scalp it looks like a superficial bacterial infection usually caused by staphylococcus aureus. Sometimes they co-exist with fungal folliculitis and can be determined with more precision during a consultation. Kindly consult a dermatologist for exact diagnosis and treatment plan. It is also important to prevent their relapse once you have got it cured. A decolonization regimen suggested by your doctor will help.
Next Steps
You need a decent antidandruff shampoo
