Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have understood your concern

For dandruff, you must use an antidandruff shampoo regularly to prevent it from coming back.
There are a lot of antidandruff shampoo's available which you can use e.g Sebamed antidandruff shampoo (contains piroctone olamine). Coal tar+ salicylic acid based shampoo is also an effective treatment for moderate to severe dandruff.
You must shampoo every alternate days Or even daily.
Moderate to severe dandruff may require additional measures like topical steroid lotion in addition to shampoos. However this is to be used as a short measure e.g 2-4 weeks and thereafter only antidandruff shampoos to keep dandruff from coming back.
