Brief Answer:
Regarding dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

You may use either a Ketoconazole based shampoo e.g Nizoral shampoo or a Selenium Sulphide based Shampoo e.g Selsun shampoo. These are OTC brands which you can try first, however, if your dandruff doesn't get better with these then you may visit a dermatologist in your region.

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