The cause of dandruff and its severity needs to be determined to treat it properly. Please contact for online/in clinic consultation.

Hi...Dandruff is a fungal jnfection. It needs oral anti fungal and anti fungal shampoos of newer varieties . Sometimes it could be a progressive condition called sebopsoriasis which presents as severe dandruff. This needs more stronger treatments. Your inability to get rid of dandruff could mean misdiagnosis.
You can connect with me via juvenis.in for a video consultation. In the meantime the best treatment for dandruff is a disciplined lifestyle which will help in improving immunity.
Health Tips
