hi
i'm dr rashid dikshit i'm a
dermatologist in private practice
practicing in bangalore from the last 15
years
dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis which
is a
common inflammatory condition of the
scalp
often associated with some hair phone
is a concern for most people who live in
urban india
considerable irritation could be
happening because of the climate because
of the water in the area
because of the hard water it could also
be because of the
overgrowth of fungus on the scalp if you
have dandruff
avoid oiling the scalp oiling the hair
is okay
but don't oil the scalp oiling the scalp
will increase the amount of bacteria and
fungi which are
there in the skin and increase the
amount of dandruff
make sure that you're using a shampoo
which has salicylic acid
ketoconazole or zinc pyrithrone to
control the amount of fungus
apply it wait for about five to ten
minutes and then wash it off
with a regular shampoo which is ph
balance
using this combination of two shampoos
will make sure that the scalp remains
clean
but the hair does not get excessively
dry also remember that there might be
a need for an oral antifungal tablet and
an oral vitamin supplement
so for this you please consult your
dermatologist
who can examine your scalp with a
trichoscope and then suggest the
necessary medicines
