There are so many skin conditions, and they all differ from one from another. Stay hygiene and follow doctor's advice (Topical medications + Do's/Dont's)

^^ You can get a second opinion if you aren't sure about the dermatologist/diagnosis 

Yeah mother had in 2020. It was cured (external symptoms at least) within 3 months from start of medicines. Didn't know it was a lifelong thing!

Ketoconazole and Selenium Sulphide shampoos help. Need to used on a frequent basis when you feel it is coming back.

dude listen, I have been suffering from dandruff for past 5 years. i don't want to discourage you here but, I want to tell you the truth. 

NOTHING WORKS, srsly once you get the dandruff, you can't completely get rid of it. whoever saying otherwise is either lying or never experienced dandruff in their f.ing life. 

it looks like you might have seborrheic dermatitis. don't get all panic. it's just dandruff but, little severe like you have. do you have flakes on any other of your body?

I have been to countless no of doctors and used every anti-dandruff shampoo I can find. the result is same. you can't get rid of it completely. 

I finally give up and learned to live with it. dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic condition. it may look like it's gone but, it will eventually come back. the best we can do it keep it under control. even after everything it sometimes flares up like crazy. don't lose your mind over it.

here are the things that worked for me: 

1. keep your hair short. the sun really helps. 

2. do not wash your hair with hot water. it worsens the condition. use cold water. 

3. if it's feasible to you take a head bath daily. you don't have to apply shampoo every time. apply shampoo "that works for you" every other day or every 2 days. 

4. no shampoo/no poo doesn't work for us. hair will become too greasy and itchy. 

The shampoo I use: Cipla 8x shampoo every 2 days and Nizoral 1% on every Sunday( because it over dries the hair). 8x works wonders for me. if I hadn't found 8x years back I would have killed myself a long time ago because no other shampoo worked for me. 

I have seborrheic dermatitis. my scalp is very itchy and it bleeds a lot. with these I can keep mine under control. dandruff is still there but at least now it's not as severe as before. 

if you want to talk more about it in detail feel free to message me. 

also, what's the color your and texture of your dandruff ? is it brown or yellow? is it dry or oily dandruff?

I have to shampoo my hair every day to get rid of dandruff. Doctor says my skin dries quicker..reason why I get dandruff so frequently.

Was a biopsy performed to confirm the diagnosis? In my case (not Seborrheic Dermatitis ) the dermatologist prescribed Amoxycillin and Fluconazole to take care of both bacterial and fungal infections. A test(s) to confirm the cause would have been the best course instead of prescribing multiple antibiotics to cover most. At least the visible dandruff went down significantly but still not completely eliminated. 

Same dandruff problem here, not sure about the disease. But dandruff is not completely curable but you can limit it.

I'm using this from last one month.

Earlier dandruff was too much but it's in control now. Again it depends person to person.

@kartikxxx are you inside or outside sort of person? i just asked bcoz i noticed vitamin d is also one of the issue.. myself has less vitamin d im an inside sort of person.. and also avoid foods like coconut,brinjal etc which causes itching..

I'm also diagnosed with Dermatitis but it is spongiotic dermatitis / atopic dermatitis.

I have taken treatments through both Ayurvedic and Allopathic practitioners.

Ayurvedic approach was mainly through controlling diet and cleaning of gut. Dietary restrictions included avoiding of yoghurt, eggs, non-veg, spicy and preserved foods like Papad and Pickles.

Allopathic approach was mainly through Anti-Histamine tablets and Topical Steroid creams.

Situation can be controlled and can't totally be cured as per allopathic practitioners but ayurvedic practitioners say it can be cured.

Other factors that aggrevate the dermatitis atleast in my case is weight gain and stress level.

It's just a dandruff. Why are you so scared? You need to change shampoo as the resistance increases. That's common for anyone. No need to spend money visit Dermatologist every now and then. It's a  condition and can be well controlled. Just keep the anti dandruff shampoo for 10-15 min and rinse off. Once dandruff controlled use the shampoo as maintenance. All these will be mentioned on the shampoo too.

try Scalpe Pro Anti-dandruff Shampoo

Same problem for me as well everyone in my friends circle. Even my cousin.

Went bald on January 6th 

Used lemon for cleaning the scalp. And using oil everyday.

No hairfall since 2 months, I was bald ofcourse:-P Dandruff came backafter moving to Hyderabad again. 

Will go bald again in March end

Works like a charm in 2-3 applications, whenever there is an attack. Dosage - twice a week.

I too have same problem, i have tried many shampoos including head n shoulder, ayur, dove, biotique, scalpe pro+, coal n tar shampoo, many ketazonale with zpto shampoo, salicylic acid shampoo etc. But after few days result is same , White dandruff, dry skin coming out,itchy scalp, etc.

Just last month visited a dermatologist and he prescribed fucazonale, vitamin d3 , multivitamins, ketazonale shampoo with zpto, amoxycillin.

But after i was done with medicines.

One week later same problem.

Now Iam going to revisit the doctor and lets see what happens.
