I've been struggling with really bad dandruff for a long time. I've seen multiple dermatologists, but every time I stop the treatment, it comes back within weeks. Is there any permanent fix for this, like a surgery or something? I'm tired of dealing with it over and over again.

While a permanent cure for dandruff is elusive, it's possible to effectively manage and control it with consistent treatment and lifestyle adjustments. There's no known surgical solution for dandruff, as it's a condition of the skin, not a structural issue. Instead, focus on managing the underlying causes and symptoms

I'm 18 and I've been using eukroma cream for a while now. I'm thinking about stopping it, but I'm worried it might make my skin turn dark or even green. What's going to happen if I quit using it?
