Brief Answer:
Regarding treatment of dandruff
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Dandruff is a common cause of excessive hair shedding. For resistant dandruff I suggest you to use a coal tar and salicylic acid based shampoo e.g Protar shampoo. You may use it either daily or on alternate days. Lather it well on to wet scalp and allow it to act for 7-10minutes before rinsing it off. In addition i suggest you to use a calcipotriol and clobetasol propionate lotion e.g Calpsor- C lotion. Thereafter just continue with the shampoo. These are prescription drugs and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner regarding this.

Hi.
Seborrheic dermatitis or dandruff is not due to hormonal imbalance. Oral Isotretinoin 10-20mg per day can be tried and is quite effective for Seborrheic dermatitis.
