Brief Answer:
Ketoconazole shampoo

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and would recommend you to use a ketoconazole shampoo like kenz shampoo or kz shampoo every alternate days.
You can also take antifungal medicines like tablet fluconazole 200 mg twice weekly for 3-4 weeks.
This will take care of dandruff. But it can have side effects so take it under doctors supervision and only in bad case.
Also avoid oiling of scalp.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
