Bleeding from dandruff sounds very painful and uncomfortable. It means you probably scratched too much. Please see a doctor or a skin specialist soon.
Amma always told us that if dandruff gets too bad, it can cause itching and irritation. But bleeding from the scalp is a different matter entirely, beta. That means it's more than just simple dandruff now. Please consult a dermatologist, they will know how to treat it properly. Don't delay.
Oh, I've tried everything for dandruff myself, from neem oil to curd masks. But bleeding is a sign that it's gotten really severe, beyond what home remedies can fix. It means your scalp is inflamed and broken. You definitely need to see a dermatologist for proper treatment and to prevent infection.
My daughter had really bad dandruff once, but never bleeding. Bleeding means there are open sores, possibly from scratching too hard, and it can get infected. This needs a doctor, probably a dermatologist, to give proper medicated shampoos or creams. Don't let it get worse for your own comfort.
