If it's not ordinary dandruff maybe you should go to see a doctor...\n\nBut otherwise I would suggest you to visit a drug store and buy special shampoo made for getting rid of dandruff, other than head 'n' shoulder, since it doesn't seem to be working on you...\n\n"Dandruff can in some cases be linked to poor nutrition, particularly deficiencies in the mineral zinc", from Wikipedia...\n\nTake care!

yup, but it's not called dandruff anymore, it's just scaling skin...or flaking skin or dry skin...whichever name you like.

Dandruff is nothing more than dry skin.  This is not contagious.  All your anti-dandruff shampoos are basically medicated to make your scalp less dry.

See a dermatologist. He might recommend minoxidil topical solution. \n\nPlease ensure you do not have dandruff. If you do, use a dandruff shampoo. Follow instruction on the label.\n\nI have heard about laser treatment to stimulate hair follicles. Your dermatologist (skin specialist) should be able to give you more information. \n\nAre you anaemic? test your blood, if yes, eat leafy vegetables or iron supplements\n\nHope this will be of help.

ok firstly wash your hair every 3days and make sure you dont use any other hair products such as creams or mouses or hairspray. the night before you wash your hair massage your head with coconut oils and leave overnight. use an intensive conditioner once a weak with wheat proteins in it... drink more milk and eat more protein foods . also stay away from hairbands that are tight... like elastics. keep doin this for a few mnths and youl notice an improvement! oh and dandruff.. use head and shoulders. trust me

Well, you would know if it was lice,\nIt could be just dandruff. There are special shampoos available at grocery stores for lice treatment. Also boil all of your hairbrushes, sheets, pillow cases. good luck!

Shampoos with coal tar (Neutrogena T/gel is one example) and Nizoral work very well.Both are available over the counter. Usual method is to shampoo with the medicated shampoo every day until the flakes come under control then once or twice per week to keep them under control. \n\nListerine, the mouthwash, has been used for dandruff for years (and used to be advertised for this purpose). Massage it full-strength onto your scalp every day. Supposed to get rid of dandruff in a few days. You can also apply a dilute vinegar rinse to your hair before using regular shampoo.

I have the same exact problem. My dermatologist said it is seborrheic dermatitis, same thing as dandruff. Hope that won't gross you out! But anyways, hydrocortisone cream every fews days should take care of it. If not, see the doc.

bathe your body with a "dandruff" shampoo like Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders for about two weeks.  Make sure you let the shampoo sit on your skin for five minutes or so.  You usually do not need medication.  If this doesn't work, you can buy a big tube of Lamisil or Lotramin and use this cream on the affected areas of your body twice a day for a couple of weeks.  Tinea versicolor is caused by weak bugs and is usually easy to kill.  Happy Hunting!

It's actually not dry scalp. It's oily scalp that causes dandruff. Use head and shoulders or you can try natural junk like apple cider vinegar, or rubbing salt to break apart dead skin.

Is it psoriasis, dermatitis, or just plain dandruff? Is on on exposed skin or just your hair?\n\nThe easiest answer without knowing your exact condition is this...\n\n1. Use a coal tar shampoo on your scalp (Like T-Gel) or similar dandruff products which can be bought at Walmart...\n\n2. Don't use conditioner all the way down to the roots...(Makes it worse)\n\n3. Getting some sunshine helps dandruff and  psoriasis...May I recomend a local pool? The chlorine seems to help too...\n\nIf the problem still persists very badly or covers a large portion of your body then you should see a dermatologist so they can give you prescription treatments...

Some dandruff is caused by dry scalp. Some is caused by a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis. It is now commonly believed that this may be a fungus infection. \n\nSo, dandruff shampoos are "medicated" (such as Neutrogena T/Gel or Nizoral) to make conditions such that the fungus can't thrive. Home remedies do the same thing (Listerine has herbal medications, use of dilute vinegar increases the pH of the scalp).

Well I assume you are white so have you ever considered that you have lice (do you live with animals in the house??). If not then start by thoroughly washing your hair with medicated shampoo. Then use a light oil or grease in your hair. Sulfur 8 works for me and my kids when their heads start to itch. A little oil/grease wont hurt anybody, no matter what hair type!!

Try a tablespoon of olive oil and some tea tree oil, which you can find at any health food store.  The tea tree will kill the dandruff and the olive oil will health the scalps skin.  Should do once a week, which schould keep you dandruff clear.
