Administrators FlyJ Posted January 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2015 Try these suggestions to control common dandruff: Shampoo regularly: Start with a mild, non-medicated shampoo. Gently massage your scalp to loosen flakes. Rinse thoroughly. Use medicated shampoo for stubborn cases: Look for those containing pyrithione zinc, salicylic acid, coal tar or selenium sulfide. For best results, use anti-dandruff shampoo each time you shampoo. Use tar-based shampoos carefully: These shampoos are strong dandruff deterrents, but they can leave a brownish stain on light-colored or gray hair. They can also make your scalp more sensitive to the sun. Check the label for ingredients. Treat your hair gently: Dandruff shampoos can be harsh on your hair and scalp. Use a conditioner regularly. For mild cases of dandruff, alternate dandruff shampoo with your regular shampoo. See a dermatologist: If dandruff persists or if your scalp becomes irritated or severely itchy, you may need a prescription shampoo. An antifungal cream called ketoconazole (Nizoral) often works against dandruff and is available as a shampoo. Source 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
