Thanks for the query.
Dandruff is actually mild inflammation and scaling of skin of scalp associated with fungal infection.
Apply Noskurf lotion, keep it for one hour and then wash with sebowash shampoo.
Use this combination for at least twice a week for 3 months.
This should help you.

You must avoid oiling.
Oil acts as a food for fungus and can cause increase in severity of acne.

Okay, but i have noticed if i don't apply oil my hair tends to become dry and after a day or two i get itching in the center of my head.
Lastly, i noticed the dryness has gone from my head but the dandruff remains, like the white flakes are very less but when i come after taking a bath if i mildy scratch my head the white flakes are still wet so they get accumulated in my nails as a whole but the skin doesn't seem to be dry.
So should i still use the same thing you advised like the Noskurf lotion and sebowash shampoo?
Thankyou again for all the help!

Brief Answer:
Use medication
Detailed Answer:
Hello
It will take at least one month for adequate response.
Continue with the medication.
You can apply oil once in 7 days, that should be adequate to take care of dryness.
Once you feel that scalp is clear you can reduce the application of Noskurf to once a week.
