Severe Dandruff
Hi there,
I've been having very dry scalp for the past few months,and I tried every shampoo possible but nothing seems to help.
I'm losing alot of hair and having very dry skin around the hairline region and even on my forehead like in the picture.
Any solutions?
Thank you for your time

Only shampoo won’t help. One has to examine your entire scalp and other areas to rule out certain conditions.
Next Steps
Until then you can use a 2% ketoconazole shampoo alternate days.
