Brief Answer:
Stepwise treatment explained below in details.

Detailed Answer:
Hi someonetreatcandy,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Dandruff is excessive exfoliation of scalp skin.
Treatment of dandruff can be done in three ways-
*Self care-Absence of shampooing helps fungal infection self care consists of frequent shampooing with anti dandruff shampoo available in market.(infrequent shampooing leads to collection of skin flakes...thus causing inflammation of skin to enhance excessive exfoliation )
-Good hair care
- Avoid perspiration...which can keep hairs moist to cause &enhance fungal infection
Good hair care& frequent shampooing cures dandruff most of the times.
* Application of medicated ointments -gels containing Tar/salicylic acid/Zink pyrithione/selenium sulphide
-Steroid creame
*Consultation of a dermatologist --for spotting basic cause as allergy, autoimmune diseases or low resistance /weakness ...followed by specific management.
I hope that helps.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
