Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Dandruff or Seborrheic dermatitis can be effectively managed with an Antidandruff lotion/shampoo e.g I prescribe 2% Ketoconazole to my patients of dandruff and instruct them to use it at least twice OR thrice weekly
Ketoconazole is usually effective. Shampoos/lotions/gels containing steroids can also be used for severe dandruff not controlled with ketoconazole.
take care
