Suffering From Dry Scalp, Dandruff. Tried Different Treatments, No Results. Suggestions?

Hello, I am suffering from severe dry scalp which results in dandruff. I have tried oiling my scalp, sebowash treatment, homepathic treatment, used no scurf with canditral 3 years back. This problem doesnt seem to go away. Right now the dandruff is salt size and comes on very soon after head wash. Please suggest me a solution for this problem of mine.

Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You have used almost all anti fungal treatments.

In such situations we use retinoids.

These drugs control the proliferation of skin and hence prevent dandruff.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this as it is a prescripyion drug.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
