I know how stressful and embarrassing it is when you feel those sticky yellow flakes in your hair, and it honestly used to make me so anxious to even step out. Please don't worry, you are not alone in this and it is completely curable. It gets much better once you find the right treatment.

Hamare yahan toh log kehte hain ki sar ko saaf rakhna sabse zaroori hai. Oily dandruff ke liye bohot zyada tel mat lagao, usse aur chipchipahat badh jaati hai. Aap kisi acche doctor se milkar ek accha sa dawayi wala shampoo le lo, sab theek ho jayega.

I ignored my sticky scalp dandruff for a whole year thinking it would go away with regular shampoos, and it led to severe fungal infection and massive hair fall. Don't make the same mistake I did. Go see a dermatologist early so they can give you a proper ketoconazole shampoo.

Totally agree with the others here. Using a dermatologist-prescribed salicylic acid shampoo twice a week is what finally cleared my oily dandruff completely.

My oily dandruff and dry hair issues actually started getting really bad when my thyroid levels went completely out of whack. It is very important to get a full blood test done to see if any hormonal imbalance is causing this scalp oiliness. Definitely follow up with your doctor regularly.

Haan na, oily dandruff ka problem sach me bohot annoying hota hai, scratch kiya toh aur nikalta hai. Actually scalp ko dry rakhna padta hai, so heavy hair oils apply karna bandh kar do thode din. Doctor se shampoo pooch ke use karo, ekdum mast relief milega.
