Remedy for Dandruff
I have recently noticed a lot of dead skin and dandruff on my head, it is not only on my head but also in the roots of my beard,moustache and side locks! If I try and remove them using a brush/comb it causes redness in the particular area which lasts for more than a couple of hours. I use Biotique anti dandruff shampoo to wash my hair at least once in two days. There is a temporary relief from the problem but it re occurs again. Kindly suggest a permanent solution to this.

Hi ! You could be having some form of seborrhoeic dermatitis which is a severe form of dandruff. It has a tendency to recur. You have to take continuous efforts to keep it at bay. 1. Shampoo hair as frequently as required. Keep the hair clean. 2. Avoid hair styling products till dandruff goes off. 3. Use anti dandruff shampoo which contains ketoconazole once or twice a week. 4.Oil clean washed hair. 5. Do not try to scrape or comb away the flakes. Be gentle with your hair and scalp. 6. Wash your combs and brushes regularly. Do not share them
