I'm really struggling with flaky dandruff and it's been going on for about a year now. I've tried using selsun and fungiside shampoos twice a week, but they haven't helped at all. Could you give me some advice on what else I might try?

Accepted Answer

Flaky dandruff that is not responding to over-the-counter shampoos may require a stronger treatment. I recommend trying a shampoo containing ketoconazole, such as Nizoral. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks. If there is still no improvement, you may need a prescription-strength shampoo or medication from a dermatologist.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. To help improve your condition, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take one tablet (325 mg) once a day with a glass of orange juice to enhance absorption. Additionally, try to include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, beans, and dark leafy greens. Make sure to also consume foods high in Vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. Remember to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor your iron levels.
