Excessive dandruff
I am experiencing a lot of dandruff from last year. It's been like whenever i wake up there is dandruff every where on my bedsheet, when i put fingers in my hair there is dandruff all over my clothes and in my nails. Dandruff along with itching is getting worse day by day. I have tried simply oiling my hair, hair mask including curd+oil+lemon, fresh aloe vera gel. Earlier dandruff come down for 1-2 days after i do shampoo, but now even on the day i shampoo there is no difference in the amount of dandruff. Kindly suggest something.
