Brief Answer:
Ketoconazole (Nizoral) is recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

There are different shampoos that can be used to treat dandruff. There are shampoos containing zinc, selenium, tea tree oil or antifungal shampoo containing ketoconazole. They can be found in the market or in pharmacy over the counter.

I can recommend you to use Ketoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) found over the counter because it is highly effective.

If you can't get relief from a single shampoo you can use two of them alternating them.
ope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
