Persistent dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis require medical diagnosis and prescription treatment beyond OTC shampoos. Accurate diagnosis and targeted management for lasting scalp health.
About This Treatment
Dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are caused by Malassezia yeast overgrowth causing flaking, itching, and scalp inflammation. Mild cases respond to medicated shampoos; moderate-to-severe cases require prescription antifungals and anti-inflammatory treatment. Scalp psoriasis — presenting similarly — requires entirely different management. Dr. Megha Sharma diagnoses accurately via trichoscopy before prescribing.
