I always worry that my dandruff is actually a serious skin infection and it makes me super anxious. If you feel the same, maybe try a mild anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week, but definitely consult a skin doctor if your scalp gets very red.

Forget about putting lemon juice or curd on your hair, they can irritate your scalp more. Just use a proper ketoconazole shampoo from the pharmacy twice a week. Leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing it off.

I finally cleared my dandruff last month after trying everything. My doctor told me to stop keeping hair oil overnight because it feeds the fungus. Washing my hair regularly with a medicated shampoo worked wonders.

I totally get it, having white flakes on your shoulders can be so embarrassing and frustrating. Try to use a silicon scalp massager gently while shampooing to help clear the buildup without hurting your skin.

Don't worry too much, dandruff is a very common issue that everyone goes through. Just keep your combs clean and don't share towels with others. A simple, clean scalp routine is all you need.
