Remedy for Dandruff

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us,

I am Dr. Kakkar (Dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have noted your concern.
I've reviewed the attached picture,

For dandruff, you may use Protar K shampoo. Also, use either Topsor-S lotion (Clobetasol Topical 0.05% w/w with Salicylic Acid 3%w/w combination) or Topisal-S lotion for overnight application on scalp skin for 2 weeks.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Still I'm 29 and feel I have more grey hair.

Brief Answer:
Remedy for premature greying

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Premature greying has an underlying genetic basis. It is not related to any extraneous factors. For premature greying you may take a tablet of calcium pantothenate 200mg (Tab. kerablak) once daily for at least 6 months. Topically you may apply either Altris gel or Melnora gel (contains 5% melitane), once daily at night.
