When to See Your Doctor
If you’ve tried over-the-counter shampoos without success, call your doctor. There are prescription shampoos containing selenium, ketoconazole, or corticosteroids for more stubborn cases. It’s also a good idea to seek medical help if your scalp becomes very red or painful, or if you notice fluid or pus coming from your scalp. This could be a sign of an infection that requires treatment.
For most cases of dandruff, however, the right over-the-counter shampoo and a steady stream of warm water are all it takes to control those flakes.
