Hi
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is caused by yeast which is normally present on scalp. However when equilibrium between host and yeast is disturbed, it starts proliferating causing dandruff.
Dandruff can be controlled by medicines.
It is actively treated first and then has to be maintained with shampoos.
Next Steps
consult a dermatologist with photographs for treatment
