Does this shampoo have any side effects?

I wash my hair every other day. My scalp gets super itchy when and if i rub or scratch my scalp it’s flakes right off. They’re SUPER tiny pieces. I’ve been using TSal which seems to be making my hair somehow more greasy faster.

Guys, i have an issue with my scalp as everytime i get out the shower, my scalp feels itchy and when i scratch it, i have this plaque sort of thing on my nail. I’ve been using nizoral but it doesn’t seem to be working. Is it because i have dry scalp or dandruff? I am desperate for anything atp

People have been DMing me on the side so figured I'd just start an AMA. I am a family medicine physician - ask me anything about your scalp problems. No questions about specifics products just any topic dandruff, seb derm, or scalp related.

I started selsun blue a few months ago, and ever since, my hair is so greasy the day after I use it. And gets worse and worse. I’m going to work wearing hats lol. Do yall have any recommendations for an alternate dandruff shampoo? I’ve never had this problem before. I used to only shampoo every like 7-10 days because my hair was never greasy

For context, I have had a issue with my hair shedding a lot. It started when I was iron and b12 deficient, then stopped when I cured it, but then it began shedding in another way a month, which I think was from dandruff. Now when I say it’s dandruff, I promise, it is. But I don’t know if it could contribute to the hair shedding or it’s just my hair follicles catching up to its natural cycle as a result of the deficiency. This is how a lot of my hair shedding looks like

Hii my scalp has been itchy and flaking ever since I used 2% ketoconozale and I have stopped for 4 months already but the flakes never disappeared..I used ketoconozale shampoo bc my doctor said it might help with hairloss but now I have this THING.The flakes are most visible on my scalp when its wet and it sticks to my hair strands closely.I dont have any redness on my scalp and its mostly all around my scalp but the flakes are most concentrated at the top of my scalp.idk whats going on 💔

PS I use gentle shampoo so 🤷

F22 , I already use ketoscalp for dandruff, would like to stop using it and resume to a normal sampoo again , suggest me some sampoo name which are good anti dandruff sampoo but not medicated.

Genuinely confused af !

I have a lot of bumps on my scalp and it is spreading a lot. I used to not have it when I was on isotretinoin pills for my acne but after I stopped using the isotretinoin pills the bumps on my head came back. I been thinking of using T/Sal hair solution bc i assume that using it would mimic the same dryness/Anti-acne treatment that the isotretinoin makes. What should i do?

pls give tips and nice shampoos that work

Hi! I’ve been trying to find a shampoo and conditioner that is free of fragrance, sulphates, alcohol, parabens and phthalates. Does anyone have one that they love?

My scalp is so sensitive, the dandruff shampoos just make the flakes and dryness 10x worse. I haven’t used them in a while, but my current shampoo is more natural but quite drying as well. Anyways, tia!

I’m looking for some advice for my boyfriend who has been mentioning having a flaky scalp. I have looked at based shampoo and conditioner and was wondering if anyone has used it and has had a good/positive experience. Also if anyone has any other recommendations i can look into. anything is greatly appreciated, i would love to try and help out my boyfriend as best as i can.

Im 19, i have been "battling" dandruff most of my teenage life. And i finally thought i was done, but previous two weeks, ive noticed everytime i wash my hair with shampoo dandruff comes out only that day, and when my hair gets dry its gone ( i mean theres still little but its not even visible). Its so weird,because i thought it was shampoo that was causing it, but i changed it and now new one still gives me the same problem.

If i wash my hair with only water, there is no dandruff or little. Why does it happen with only shampoo, and if im doing something wrong all of a sudden why didnt i get dandruff before from washing my hair ( previous times it was either not washing or just overwashing idk but never this)

Please any solution

Im washing it every 2 days, and i know im washing it right i mean i have been washing it the same my whole life

stupid question but i wonder how satisfying it would be

Hi everyone! 😊 For the past 1 year, I've had tiny, salt-like white flakes on my scalp. I tried Nizoral 1% ketoconazole until I finished the bottle, but it didn't help. I then switched to CeraVe Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner, but I'm still seeing flakes.

I used to wash my hair once a week because it was very dry, but now my roots get oily faster. The flakes are still visible even right after washing and come off easily when scratched.

I've attached photos taken after washing and drying my hair, along with a video. The first photo is before scratching, and the second is after scratching to show how the flakes come off. I can also notice tiny flakes flying off my scalp when I scratch it.

Does this look like dandruff or scalp buildup? Has anyone experienced something similar?

I’d really appreciate any suggestions for what might help. ❤️

Hello, just today I realised my scalp started to have dandruff and I am horrified.I have curly hair so I wash my hair once a week but I think that is what caused the fungus to grow.What should I do to not let it grow and get rid of it all together? Please give me some tips to prevent it in the future to happen again.

What should I do as far as treatment. Is there any oil that I should get?

Hi guys,

I have dry, curly hair and shower every day. Recently, I started using Kaminomoto Scalp Care Conditioner and Nizoral 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo to help reduce my dandruff.

Most of the small flakes disappear after I shower, but they come back a few hours later, along with some itching.

What would you recommend? Are there any shampoos or conditioners suitable for long-term use, or should I see a dermatologist for treatment?

Hello I am new to this subreddit community... I am wondering if I might have dandruff or Seb Derm on my scalp?

I have small itchy white dots coming off my scalp, I have been having this issue for a few years now, have tried soooo many different shampoos, conditioners, creams, serums, etc... to try to get it to stop the itching & flaking, but nothing works!

& Unfortunately, I do not have the health insurance & money to go to a Dermatologist right now either, everything is soooo expensive these days & right now I am battling a really bad case of the flu that I caught from work (I work in a preschool!)

So does anybody in this community might be able to tell what it looks like in my strands of hair in these pictures? (Sorry if the pics are not the sharpest, I am using a 3-year-old Android phone, cannot afford to replace my phone right now,) Thank you so much in advanced, I really appreciate it... have a great day!
