Greetings.
Both the conditions you have are chronic; if related,only may be partially affected by the food you eat.
1. Excess of any thing is bad - that is more so for oily and junk food
2. Avoid lot of milk products - they are known th worsen acne; role in folliculitis and dandruff is less clear
3. Wash your scalp regularly with shampoos prescribed
4. See a qualified dermatologist if you are not getting better.
Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru
