Brief Answer:
Remedy for dandruff

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

You may first try a ketoconazole based shampoo e.g Nizoral shampoo. Use it daily or on alternate days for few days. If it still isn't gone, you may use a moderately potent topical steroid lotion e.g mometasone furoate 0.1% lotion at night on scalp under guidance of dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
