Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different options that you can use.
There are shampoos that contain one or more of these substances: (1)salicylic acid 1.8% to 3%- this can come in the form of a shampoo or foam
(2)selenium sulfide 0.6% is also highly effective for dandruff, again it would be found in some shampoos for dandruff
(3)zinc pyrithione is also safe and effective for dandruff, it is used in 0.3% to 2% concentration in shampoo
(4)sulfur 2% to 5% can also be used, it is sometimes combined with salicylic acid
(5)ketoconazole shampoo 1%, - it is initially used every 3 to 4 days for up to 8 weeks then as often as needed after that
These are some of the most commonly used treatment options for dandruff
i hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
