Q. Can shaving my head reduce and help with my dandruff problems?
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from bad dandruff. I have been having this issue for four years now. I wanted to ask whether shaving my head completely will reduce the amount of dandruff. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
- With your descriptions, it seems you have dandruff.
- It is characterized by a non-inflammatory increase in the scaling of the scalp.
- Dandruff can range no trace of scaling to massive scaling.
- It is best to use 2 % Ketoconazole shampoo twice a week; method of application, first of all, wet your scalp apply shampoo, leave it for five to ten minutes then take a bath.
- Do not apply any kind of hair oil, which is a food for dandruff. You can use conditioners in place of this.
I hope you find it helpful.
Thank you.
