Brief Answer:
Regarding dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

For dandruff on scalp you may use a 2% ketoconazole and ZPTO based shampoo, alternate day e.g Scalpe plus shampoo. For itchy scaly patches on face I suggest you to use a mild potent topical steroid e.g desonide 0.05% lotion, twice daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Thanks.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
