Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
For dandruff, I would suggest you to use a shampoo containing 2% ketoconazole 3 times a week for 2-3 weeks and thereafter maintain with once a week application.
Avoid excessive oil application/ head massage and do not leave oil overnight on your scalp.
Dandruff could contribute to acne.
For acne, you could use a gel containing clindamycin int he morning and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide at bedtime.
Avoid fried foods and food high in sugar content. Have lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water.
Hair-4 U solution will help you in controlling hair fall and in regrowth of hair. Do follow up with your doctor for good maintenance.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
