Brief Answer:
Remedy for dandruff

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

You may use a ketoconazole based shampoo e.g either Nizral shampoo or Scalpe shampoo. That should be enough for a mild to moderate dandruff. For more troublesome dandruff I'd suggest you to also use a topical steroid lotion overnight e.g clobetasol propionate lotion or betamethasone dipropionate lotion.

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
