Brief Answer:
Dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Dandruff can be due to many reasons including overgrowth of Malassezia fungus, hard water, use of antibiotics etc, stress, skin sensitivity, use of medicinal products on scalp, seborhea, psoriasis, eczema etc. A proper diagnosis of the skin condition is needed for which you may visit a dermatologist. Regular use of anti-dandruff shampoos may cause hair loss.
Dandruff is known to be a recurring problem. But it doesnot cause health issues, so it can be considered just a skin issue.
My advice is as follows:
- Drink cleaner water
- healthy, nutritious diet
- Healthy lifestyle including regular exercise
- Use of regular, non-medicinal shampoos in routine and also use of hair oil to control the dryness of the skin
- When the dandruff is bad, you may use Biotique anti-dandruff shampoo. It may be used once in a while

Regards,
Dr Vaishalee
