Dandruff

---

Hey i didnt really know where to put this so i figured it would go here. I have really bad dandruff, and when i use Head and shoulders it doesnt help alot. It use to help but now it doesnt, whats wrong and why, and what exactly is dandruff

i used to have it.... lots of it and it annoyed the shit out of me...i just got this anti-dandruff shampoo stuff and used it once a day when i took a shower... after about 2 weeks the dandruff was gone...

Yah i use head and shoulders everyday, and i really srub, sometimes i use it wash it out and use it again, then when i dry my hair my head gets really itchy sometimes, but i know its not lice lol

how long have u been doin that?i used it for 2 weeks every day... if you skip a day it gets much worse again.. at least it did for me...

n i still use that same shampoo every once in a while... just to make sure..i know i dont have ne dandruff nemore but i guess im paranoid about it...

i have been for about 3-4 weeks probably. I missed a couple days though

well im not really an expert at this... just tellin u what worked for me...if u keep doin it n it dont work.. try a different shampoo (a different anti-dandruff one)

this is the stuff i used:

Alright thanks, and if anyone knows what exactly is dandruff i thought it was just dry skin but then i heard it was a fungus ? so what is it

It's a fungal infection of the scalp. But if it's resistant to your anti-dandruff shampoo, you might need something stronger, or with a different active ingredient.And how do you know it's not lice? If there are lots of flakes on your shoulder that certainly sounds like dandruff, but if the main symptom is itching then it could be lice (which needs a different shampoo).

Heres pretty much anything you'll need to know about dandruff

I had really bad dandruff for almost four months. I tried Head and Shoulders, then Nizorol, and neither worked. I looked at each and realized that the active ingredient was basically the same, so I looked for shampoo that had a different ingredient. I found Neutrogena T-Gel, which has 0.5% coal tar. That worked. I took a couple of weeks, but it went away and hasn't come back.

Alright thanks man ill tell my mom
