Dandruff and itchy scalp
I have a flaky scalp which looks like the worst condition of dandruff. My doctor suggested me to use ketoconazole & Salicylic Acid Shampoo. Can I do oiling of my scalp before using this prescribed shampoo ??

You can...but little...Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing dandruff... Specific medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.
