1. Use a good shampoo- alternate between a coal-tar based product (smells nasty, works great!), a decent dandruff/psorasis shampoo, and a 'daily clarifying' or baby shampoo. Alternating is important because your scalp will get used to just one version, and the baby/clarifyin shampoo will prevent build-up of chemicals. Follow the directions on the shampoo- you usually need to leave it in place for a while.\n\n2. Do not over-stimulate your scalp. Lots of scrubbing, combing, or brushing the scalp will scour off the old crust, but that just stimulates new crust growth. Leave the crust alone and let the chemicals work on it. If you feel you HAVE to sour/brush hard, do it before shampooing with the coal-tar product and then let the stuff sit in place for a bit.\n\n3. Do not over-wash your hair. Oddly enough, too clean of hair often has worse dandruff than hair that is only washed a couple-three times a week. You can rinse it between times with just water when you shower.\n\n4. Check out the various anti-dandruff websites or medical sites rather than entrusting your health to the sorts of random answers you can get in places like this.

It's safe to use every day.\n\nBUT (and this goes for any shampoo) you might need to change shampoos every 3 or so months because your hair can get acclimated to a particular formula and it doesn't take care of the dandruff as well. So you should change to a brand with a different active ingredient. It's OK to switch back and forth between brands.

My dandruff was caused by an oily scalp.  Special shampoos didn't seem to help, but daily hair washing does.  Most people can't do that, but I can, and must.  If however you can't or don't want to do that, try washing your hair 2-3 times.  The second (or 3rd) time, use very little shampoo.  This should still produce lots of lather.  And if it doesn't, shampoo again.  I start to get flakes again if I don't wash often enough.

A CURE FOR\nDANDRUFF!\n \n\nYes, I did "cure" mine and so have many others using a substance that most people have at home.\n\n\n\n \n\nWhat Is Dandruff?\nFollowing are some the definitions I have come across:\n\nDandruff is a bothersome problem sometimes thought to be associated with inefficient hair care. Nothing could be further from the truth - anyone who has dandruff knows that!\n\n\nIf you're troubled by dandruff, that snowy, dust-like stuff that falls from scalp to shoulders, you're not alone: Nearly everyone has dandruff to some degree. But care must be taken not to confuse simple dandruff with other conditions that also cause flaking of the scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitisor psoriasis.\n\nDandruff occurs when the scalp sheds dead epidermal (skin) cells in large clumps. Dandruff scales appear dry, white or grayish, appearing as small, unsightly patches, especially on top of the head.\n\nScalp cells replenish themselves in a pattern similar to that of hair, but more rapidly: The skin of the head renews itself about once a month. Dead scalp cells are constantly being pushed from the deepest layer of the epidermis to the skin's surface, where they gradually die. Usually the scalp sheds them in a nearly invisible way. But for reasons that are still unclear, cell turnover sometimes becomes unusually rapid, and dead cells are shed as the visible flakes called dandruff. Although most people assume dandruff comes from a dry scalp, the opposite is true: People with oily scalps tend to suffer most from dandruff.\n\n"This may be due to an oily scalp supporting the growth of yeast in the scalp, which is thought to be instrumental in the development of scaling and scalp irritation," says Joseph P. Bark, M.D., chairman of dermatology at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lexington, Ky. "A large preponderance of males have dandruff, which may suggest some role of androgen hormones in dandruff."\n\nBark says that dandruff has its bright side: If the scalp doesn't shed its dead skin cells, the human scalp would be tremendously thick. "But when the cell turnover goes too far and increases, then you get not only visible excess scaling, but redness and itching," he says. "Redness and itching is actually seborrheic dermatitis, and it frequently occurs around the folds of the nose and the eyebrow areas, not just the scalp."\n\nSometimes itching of the scalp is also experienced. Dandruff is a very common problem. The most common cause is probably a small skin fungus, previously known as Pityrosporum ovale, now renamed Malassezia furfur. The fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with dandruff. The fungus likes fat, and is consequently found most on skin areas with plenty of sebaceous glands: on the scalp, face and upper part of the body. When Malassezia furfur grows too rapidly, the natural renewal of cells is disturbed and dandruff appears with itching. \n\nDandruff is made up of bits of dead skin that peel away from the scalp as a result of the effects of metabolism. Normally, dandruff, in its early stages of growth, is not visible to the naked eye. It becomes visible only after enlarging into pieces of dead skin (what we normally call "dandruff") as a result of the propagation of bacteria and/or problems with seborrhoeic scalp conditions. Persons suffering from prolonged dandruff are said to have a dandruff ailment. This type of ailment, accompanied by itchiness, can lead to eczema if it worsens.\n\n \n\nSome suggested causes for dandruff:\nContrary to the old wives tales, dandruff isn't caused by too much shampooing or dry skin. It is triggered by overactive oil glands, food allergies, stress, excessive perspiration, or harsh shampoos.\n\nThere is a common misconception that dandruff is caused by scalp skin being too dry. Hence some people avoid washing their hair, believing that the drying effect of shampoo will worsen t

http://www.sfsu.edu/~shs/skinclinic/dandruff.htm\n\nHow do we remove dandruff faster than it is produced? Obviously, shampooing more often, going from every-third-day to daily or every-other-day shampooing is the simplest solution to mild dandruff. All shampoos have some detergent action and may be more effective if used more often. Another trick in treating bad dandruff is to leave the shampoo in prolonged contact with the scalp. For example, wash hair, rinse, and reapply shampoo, then apply a shower cap for 30-60 minutes, then do a final rinse.\n\nIf this isn't successful then consider "dandruff' shampoos."  Let us examine how each of the major shampoo categories works, with some pros and cons: \n\n+ Zinc pyrithione shampoos like Suave Dandruff Shampoo, Zincon, or Head and Shoulders have been shown to reduce Pityrosporum yeast and help mild dandruff and seborrhea. \n\n+ Tar-based shampoos like T-Gel, Z-Tar, Ionil T, Sebutone, and Tegrin inhibit turnover of cells  (mitosis). They smell "earthy" and take many applications to work. These may reduce itch. \n\n+ Salicylic acid shampoos like T-Sal, Ionil, and Sebulex mobilize scale or chemically scrub your scalp. Complaints about these are that they may be harsh and leave the scalp dry, leading to more flaking (a cream rinse following this type of shampoo often solves dryness problems). \n\n+ Selenium-sulfide-based shampoos like Selsun or Exsel are usually used 2-3 times a week for 5-10 minutes. Selenium sulfide kills yeast and inhibits cell turnover. \n\n+ Ketoconazole/Nizoral shampoo was introduced because of its anti-yeast effects.  It is about equal to zinc shampoos, though it may work when other agents fail.  It has a pleasant scent.  Its prescription strength is 2% and the over-the-counter form is 1% which is adequate for most cases.  \n\nAny shampoo may work when another fails. It is important to experiment.

Try Aloe Vera-Really works for me.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

Try using Head & Shoulders shampoo. If that doesn't help ask you doctor for a prescription for a stronger anti-danduff shampoo.

Dandruff is the excessive flaking of dead skin that forms on the scalp. As it is normal for skin cells to die and flake off, a small amount of flaking is normal and in fact quite common. Some people, however, either chronically or as a result of certain triggers, experience an unusually large amount of flaking, which can also be accompanied by redness and irritation. Most cases of dandruff can be treated with specialized shampoos or common household remedies which are available over the counter at your local pharmacy.\nDandruff can also be a symptom of seborrhea dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infection or head lice. Excessive scratching should be avoided. Scratching to the point of causing breaks in the skin can increase the risk for infections, particularly from staph and strep bacteria. While these infections are the biggest risk from dandruff, many people find that dandruff can cause social or self-esteem issues, so treatment can be very important for purely social reasons. So it might be better if you had a check with your doctor on this. \nHowever I find that "Garnier Anti- Dandruff" shampoo and conditioner works well as using this on a regular basis keeps the dandruff at a low level as well as getting sufficient exercise and eating well and stress less. \nAs for acne it depends on how bad your case is as to what will work the best. When i was a bit younger i had fairly bad acne and i went to my doctor and she gave me pills for it. You could also try a number of household remedies for eg- \n- try putting some metho on a tissue and wiping the excess oil, doing this for a few day on and a few days off\n- my mother used to tell me to put toothpaste on face b4 i went to sleep which also helped \nIn conclusion i suggest to go and consult your doctor he/she maybe able to give you something or there are a number of herbal treatments.\nBest of all when you have found the product that works for you stil to it.\nGood luck as its a long road.

Stay away from polyesters, and fabrics that don't let the skin breathe. Take a shower after physical activity, and after work. If it's a rash, sometimes a dab of Selsun Blue can curtail any fungus-inspired irritations. Leave it on in the shower for a minute or two like conditioner, every day for 2 weeks, usually there is improvement.

Try a product called "RID". You massage it into your scalp killing all the bugs and eggs. It also comes with a fine comb to brush them away. It smells pretty caustic, but it works. Just make sure you follow the instructions.

Try using a product with Tea Tree Oil, like Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner. I know it sounds counter-intuitive to add oil to your scalp, but Tea Tree Oil acts as both a humectant and an astringent, meaning it cleanses and moisturizes at the same time. So you get rid of the dandruff by exfoliating and removing dead skin cells, and you keep the new layers protected and moisturized, thus reducing itchiness. :D Works for me everytime! Good luck!
