I have a huge dandruff problem. I have an oily scalp and it smells because of dandruff even though I wash my hair every alternate day. I have tried various anti dandruff shampoos like ketaconazole and biolage dandruff range. Please suggest a good derma shampoo,oil and home remedies for the same.

Dandruff can be treated with lotion and shampoo (not the commercial ones which you use). Some people have more oiliness on the scalp which then causes visible flakes that people called dandruff. There are also some conditions which present with flaking of the scalp and have to be treated properly. do not apply oil on the scalp as it will worsen the condition. Please contact me by online consultation for proper examination and treatment advice
