My grandsons head is very itchy always scratching and a lot of white flakes fall of.But when I look into his hair I dont see anything.He washes his hair with head and shoulders every nite also conditions it, but it doesnt help.Im getting scared of all that white flake falling, what can we do?
Hi. As per your case history of dandruff, my treatment advice is - 1. Stop applying hair oil for 1 month. 2. Don't scratch the flakes as it may worsen the condition. 3. Apply an antifungal lotion like clotrimazole lotion twice daily on affected region. 4. Use a ketoconazole shampoo on alternate days.
