Remedies to Treat Extreme Dandruff
*Treatment for seborrheic dermatitis is similar to other dandruffs. Pharmacological treatments include antifungal preparations to reduce colonization by lipophilic yeasts and certain anti-inflammatory agents.
*Other remedies include the use of topical steroids like hydrocortisone cream.
*There are also oils such as mineral, olive, and peanut that can treat this scalp condition. These oils can soften the scales efficiently especially if they are left on the scalp overnight.
*In the morning, instead of using a regular shampoo, use coal tar shampoo to rinse the oil and flakes. Using tea tree oil shampoo also shows good results.
*Food that triggers allergic reaction should also be avoided since it causes excessive dandruff as well.
*For severe cases, products such as salicylic acid and coal tar are used to reduce the density of scale.
