Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of Seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff.
In my practice I usually prescribe a ketoconazole based shampoo, to be used thrice weekly for 2 weeks or so. Once dandruff is controlled it should be used once or twice weekly as a maintenance.
If not controlled by ketoconazole, then it is advisable to visit a dermatologist because scalp psoriasis can present as dandruff.
Coal tar based shampoo, Steroid lotions etc can be used in unresponsive patients of dandruff under the supervision of a dermatologist
take care
regards
