Bro, I had crazy dandruff last year and tried all sorts of oils, but it only made it worse. Finally, I used a ketoconazole shampoo twice a week and kept my scalp dry. Seriously, don't put heavy coconut oil if your scalp is already oily, it just feeds the fungus.

It can be really annoying and embarrassing to deal with itchy dandruff. Just take care and try to wash your hair regularly with a mild, dermatologist-approved shampoo. Hope it gets better for you soon.

With my PCOS, I realized scalp issues and dandruff are sometimes connected to hormonal fluctuations and insulin levels. I can't say what will work for you, but keeping a clean diet and consulting a dermatologist helped me control the flakes. It's best to get a doctor's opinion to see if there's any internal cause.

Look, stop experimenting with ten different home remedies and lemon juice on your head. It will only irritate your skin and burn your scalp. Go to a local skin doctor, get a medicated anti-dandruff lotion, and follow their advice properly for a month.

Ghar pe simple things work best. Just wash your wooden combs daily and don't share towels with anyone in the house to avoid spreading any scalp infection. Keep your pillow covers clean and wash your hair with lukewarm water, not very hot water.

If you are planning to see a dermatologist, check if they prescribe generic ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione shampoos as they are much cheaper than fancy cosmetic brands. Sometimes dandruff is due to vitamin deficiencies, so if you need blood tests, compare prices on online lab apps to save some money.
