Dandruff can be treated with lotion and shampoo (not the commercial ones which you use). Some people have more oiliness on the scalp which then causes visible flakes that people called dandruff. There are also some conditions which present with flaking of the scalp and have to be treated properly. do not apply oil on the scalp as it will worsen the condition. Please contact me by online consultation for proper examination and treatment advice

Hi! Dandruff is a very common scalp problem. Shampoos work very well and if its really thick powder scales you might need oral and topical meditation. Dandruff can be one of the reasons for hair fall as well. Not all home remedies work for everyone. Consulting a doctor for the similar issue is the best.

No methi, amla powder or onion juice will help. These will only give you more problems.
