Hi,

Dandruff also called seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp is a common skin problem. There may be greasy flakes on the scalp. Stress,sleeplessness, tension,malnutrition,genetic factor,oily scalp..etc may be responsible.

I would suggest...

- apply steroid with salicylic acid lotion on the scalp at night
- cleanse the scalp with ketoconazole shampoo daily
- antifungal tab like ketoconazole
- if needed,oral steroid in tappering dose
- antihistaminics if it itches
- folic acid tablets

I hope this would help you...

Thanks...
