I've got these dandruff issues and my doctor gave me diprovate plus cream, but I'm a bit confused on how to use it on my scalp. Do I need to wash it off after applying, and could it mess with my hair in any way? I'm just trying to figure out the right way to apply it.

I'm currently using Hair4u shampoo by Glenmark every day and applying Tugain form 5 at night. I'm wondering if it's okay to wash my hair daily with this shampoo. Is this something that's usually recommended? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate your advice on whether this routine is safe.

yes you can as it is advised by your doctor but if your scalp is irretated and dry it is recomended to limit the usage to 3-4 times a week
