Scaly dandruff often points towards conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. It's best treated with medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid. Consistency is key, and some people benefit from a pre-shampoo oil treatment to soften the scales. A dermatologist can give the best advice.
