Itchy scalp and flaky dandruff
I am experiencing dandruff flakes and itchy scalp. It is there for a month or so. I am 25 years old girl. I have dry scalp. Never seen this many dandruff ever before. I have tried washing my hair regularly. Tried using lemon juice as well, but no result.
Why is it happening? Shall I see a doctor or any home remedy I should try?

Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we call dandruff. There are some other conditions also which can present like flaking of the scalp and have to be ruled out. Do not apply oil on scalp as it will increase the problem. Please call me or contact me with photos through online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment.,
