Dandrfuff Issue Its Come And Goes Have Tried Some Herbal

Regarding dandruff
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
You may use an antidandruff shampoo e.g either 8x shampoo (contains ciclopirox olamine which is an effective molecule for dandruff) or protar K shampoo which is a coal tar and ketoconazole shampoo for more severe dandruff. These are medicated shampoos and require a prescription. I would like to tell you that resistant dandruff can also be a sign of some underlying skin conditions like psoriasis which can be known by doing a scalp examination. You can visit a dermatologist if your dandruff is very resistant to usual shampoos.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.


Regarding dandruff
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You can check if you can get one of these over the counter from a nearby drug store. Its just a shampoo. Use the shampoo on alternate days. Massage it well on to wet scalp and allow it to act for 7-10minutes before rinsing it off. If your dandruff doesn't respond to even these then you may better visit a dermatologist in your vicinity to see if it is scalp psoriasis rather than just dandruff.
Take care
