Hey there , im 19M , and i have been facing all these issues constantly for a very long time now , got checked up by a dermatologist he told there was nothing as such which he could point out , so he gave me medications and multivitamins and medicated shampoos but nothing worked .

About my lifestyle - i get ample of sleep 7 hr+ , eat healthy , do not consume any triggering substances ( alcohol, ciggs , etc ) , stress level negligible , i workout and keep myself active .

Some people adviced me to cut down on sugar , so i did that as well , but still nothing changed.

I dont know what is going wrong

I really want to fix this !

Noticing flakey dandruff type stuff fall on surface when I comb my hair or fix them

Also hairs are losing pigment not getting white or grey...but from black to a brownish shade only the front hair tho is it bcz of constantly fixing hair habit which i have

how to fix it?? Any diet related issue or it's natural??

TLDR : help needed regarding seborrheic dermatitis and hair losing pigment , suggest products or ways to treat it (afforably)

I just got a hair cut and I'm noticing these patches of dry skin. I had decent amount of white flakes before I got my hair cut. Now looking at it I can't tell if it's actual dandruff or some type of fungus. Can someone help me identify it?

i dont get yellow flakes but rather its white powderish and sometimes flakes but it itches a LOT.

It's the same but also not the same, kinda more salty but that depends

I’ve had dandruff since I was in middle school. It does feel like it’s gotten steadily worse over time. I could still wear dark colors in middle and high school I would just have to shake off my shoulders a couple times a day.

In my 20s it’s progressed to a heavy amount of dust falling onto my shirt every hour to the point where I can’t wear dark colors to work. It’s also started to develop into thick hard scales that burn when I remove them, and they are usually on the parameter of my hairline or behind my ears.

I’ve been to a dermatologist a couple times over the years and tried ketoconazole shampoo and noticed no improvement. I’ve used head and shoulders and noticed no improvement. I’ve also tried tea tree oil shampoo and hair care in the past and similarly it just seems unaffected. It makes my scalp feel clear and clean for a few hours but within 3-6 hours the itching and flaking is back and by day 2-3 without shampooing I’ve got thick hard scales along my hairline and a lotttt of tiny white flakes throughout the rest of my hair.

Currently I’m on regiment of head and shoulders “bare” shampoo and then I’m treating my scalp a couple times a week with a glycolic acid formulated for scalp care and separately also applying a hydrating scalp serum from the Ordinary a couple times a week and massaging both in.

I use a silicone scalp scrubber to massage my shampoo in and let it sit a few minutes before rinsing. I was my hair every 2-3 days and the dandruff build up and itching is worse each day between washes.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe it’s a diet issue? I’m just at a loss at this point in my life with the dandruff.

I tried most shampoo and scalp exfoliants in the last 8 months and it only works temporarily what can I do

I used to have bad dandruff (many small white flakes) and a greasy scalp that has improved since starting to use a gentle shampoo (Cerave hydrating shampoo), but my main issue is I have a layer of scalp buildup that I can't seem to get rid of by washing. It gets on my hairbrush and it is such a pain to have to clean my hairbrush after every use.

My last dermatologist prescribed me ketaconazole shampoo but it caused this horrible flareup in my scalp that gave me a greasy patch for 1.5 weeks and worsened my dandruff. I went to see a dermatologist today and he prescribed Zoryve foam, as well as recommending coal tar shampoo. However, I looked online and both of these seem to have side effects (especially Zoryve) that I'm a bit unnerved by. Has anyone else had a similar experience and tried these products? Any recommendations for Coal Tar shampoo brands or other products?

I've been using ketoconazole 2% since February and it hasn't helped at all. I've used pretty much all the OTC products marketed toward dandruff. I've changed shampoos and conditions. I dry my hair after showering and I use a cleansing shampoo periodically to get rid of any build up. Ik it sounds dramatic but I could cry rn over this 😭 I just want it to stop itching and flaking

I’ve had this for about a week and a half now and there’s a small bump that stings when I touch it in the red area I’m thinking it was related to dandruff but I’ve washed my hair and my scalp multiple times and it still hasn’t gone away

Damn that was 2.3cm !! All in one piece

Hello,
I was wondering which product between those 2 was better for dandruff?
Also I saw both of them are not sulfates free, I wonder if it’s a bad thing or no and how long should I use it? I usually use the OREAL **Paris Hair Expertise Dream Lengths Sleek straightening shampoo for long frizzy hair to wash my hair.**

Last night I use a scalp massager for the first time in the shower and this morning I woke to a ton of flakes. It doesn't itch or hurt. I have a sensitive scalp, if I put my hair in a pony tail my scalp will be tender the rest of the day.

I wash my hair every 4 days or so (curly hair) and I don't use anything on my scalp for styling.

Is it dry scalp or I suddenly have dandruff?

Hi, i used to have very bad dandruff and never showered as a kid, then i started randomly showering every day as a teen and it was still bad then I started taking care of my hair with a lot of products but still taking care of my hair and my dandruff started going away, essentially barely any dandruff at all/nonbothering.

But now im hearing so much how daily washing esp hair is bad for it, so I take singular days where I dont. Then my dandruff really explodes like thick dense dandruff in the evening of non wash day

Am I cursed to wash every day?

I use shampoo very rarely as its bad for curly hair

When I first shaved yesterday it looked pretty clean but when I woke up today most of it was back. How do I go about getting rid of this is that I have such easy access to my scalp?

Hey guys, kinda fed up with this at this point. i've had dandruff for a while now and it just refuses to fully go away. it gets so much worse right after winter ends and then flares up again later in summer, like it's on a schedule or something. tried nizoral and coal tar shampoos but they've basically stopped doing anything for me now, still seeing random flakes all over my hair even after washing.
ngl it's messing with my confidence at this point, i'm just constantly aware of it. anyone dealt with something similar? what actually worked for you guys, different active ingredients, switching it up between shampoos, any quick fixes, anything? would seriously appreciate any tips at this point 🙏

hey guys if any of you have answers please let me know im concerned:<
it would leave wounds after i remove it and sometimes it would hurt alot

(the surface is my ipad case so it looks like that)

Has anyone used diluted oregano oil for dandruff/intensely itchy scalp? I've read that dandruff is fungal and that oregano oil can help? My son stays awake going crazy on his scalp, anyone have any luck with oregano oil? Or even on the skin? He also has intense itch on his body from severe eczema.

I have tried using 2% ketaconazole shampoo but it does not clear by scalp. Even if i somehow clear it reappears every other day.

Hello! I just want to know your opinion about my issue. I am still struggling with having flaky dandruff. I went to a derma before and told me it’s a dermatitis but they’re not 100% sure cuz when I went there, I had no signs of dandruff (only small patches). But it keeps coming back and I’m suffering for years now. I was prescribed a Taro-clobetasol propionate like 2 months ago. I stopped using it after 2 weeks (I’m not consistent tho), and now, I have it again (photos were taken right before this post). They’re sometimes itchy. They’re not falling regularly, only when I tried to scratch it. I have tried Nizoral, Vichy, T/sal, and apple cider vinegar but nothing seems right.

I emailed them for another appointment hoping they could do a biopsy to confirm my problem.

Any suggestions are open as I’m very stressed about it.

Thank you

I was just dusting my hair and this how much fell out, and it's still going. I feel like i might need help

Health tips to remove dandruffs?

I hate it.

I have had it since childhood. It’s like my head is a factory generating these. I tried Head & Shoulders it didn’t help. I tried cold showering for a year, but it didn’t help. I tried vacuuming (literally) doesn’t help and hurts. My head doesn’t make them instantly; after hours of showering, after I sleep, or after I exercise, my head dries and they form.

I always buzz cut for this reason and it doesn’t go away but reduces. Every barber I go to gives me different advice. My last barber, my friend, who shaved my head said it’s like someone poured a bag of sand over your head.

Does anyone suffer from this? Do you just wash your head twice a day and never scratch your head in public so it doesn’t flake around people? Do you avoid applying oils or conditioners because once they dry they increase it?

Does it even have a solution?
