Brief Answer:
It could be seborhea

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Severe dandruff could mean seborhea. It usually disappears by itself in few weeks. Can you send me list of your medicines or other products you are using on your scalp? Can you upload a photo so that I am better able to help?

Brief Answer:
Treatment depends on severity of problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Actually treatment depends on severity of problem.
The problem with dandruff is that many time it does not resolve completely and it may come back .
If mild to moderate dandruff then it can be controlled with mild non-medicated shampoo like Loreal (yellow bottle), coconut oil, cleaner drinking water, avoid antibiotics.
If severe dandruff then an anti-fungal medicine like fungicide lotion can be applied on scalp and wash it off in half hour. This can be repeated 2 times in a week to control dandruff and then let the scalp recover for few weeks with mild shampoo.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Dr Vaishalee
