Dandruff on my mustache n beard
I have this dandruff on my moustache,beard and even on my eyebrows. I scratch it daily but I see it recurring next day. I tried oiling it but no effect . I little sceptical about using dandruff shampoo as I doubt it might damage my hair follicles or even grey them . Can you suggest any remedy without having any bad effects on my beard and moustache.
Note :I have no other health issues and not under any medication.
Thank you
