Hi. Bontress and Mx2 can be continued for a long time. While applying Mx2 (Minoxidil), make sure it does not spill to face or other areas.
Selsun has selenium sulphide as active ingredient. I think you should not use it for a long time. One the dandruff is controlled, switch to some ketoconazole based shampoo for maintenance. Hope it answers your queries
