Brief Answer:
Regarding treatment of dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

You may try a ketoconazole based shampoo. Use it for 2 weeks. Lather it well on to wet scalp and leave it on for 3-5 minutes before rinsing it off. However, if that is not very effective you may use a Coal tar and Salicylic acid based shampoo.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
