For the management of dandruff and scalp itching, it is always best and recommended to visit a Dermatologist for an assessment of your scalp. As scaling and itching of the scalp may be due to different conditions such as:
- seborrheic dermatitis,
- fungal infections or
- psoriasis - a long-lasting autoimmune disease where there are patches of abnormal skin.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, treatment of the specific condition can then be advised. For seborrheic dermatitis, which is the most commonly seen condition, gentle antifungal shampoo and a mild steroid lotion normally gives excellent relief of your symptoms.
Be sure to seek help early from your doctor.
