The following measures can be helpful for the problem of dandruff, what you are having.
1. Wash your hair daily with shampoo containing Ketoconazole as an ingredient for 3 weeks. Following that you need to use it for another month once in 3 days.
2. Along with this, use shampoo containing selenium, salicylic acid, and zinc as ingredients twice a week for 2 months.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem.
