Persistent dandruff on dry scalp
Hello doctor, I am a 20-year-old female dealing with persistent dandruff and dry scalp. I experience flaking and itching regularly. I have been using Bare Anatomy shampoo for over a year, but it hasn’t shown any improvement.
I’m looking for a budget-friendly and effective shampoo or treatment that is safe for regular use. Kindly suggest something that works well for dry scalp and dandruff. Thank you.

Dandruff is not a disease, its a common process of the body to get rid of dead scalp tissue. If there is fungal disease can use ketoconazole shampoo. But need to confirm fungal infection before starting ketoconazole
