    hi dude,

    dandruff exactly is your dead

    skin on your head.

    you may take care of it and

    consult some skin specialist.

    it may be helpful to you.

    you may be allerigic to something. go on super health food diet to eliminate all confounding variables. should probably eliminate all caffeine, even chocolate. i imagine you've tried tea tree oil, which is soothing but natural. pine tar or whatever is supposed to help.

    somehow I've improved my dandruff to the point that it's not a problem. i don't know how though.

    i'm serious. super health food diet. Supplement multivitamins, cal/mag/zinc, flax oil fish oil, maybe garlic, ginseng

    Oh, and try taking cold showers. all the way cold. you can warm up first with a hot shower, but go cold for a minute, 2 or 3 times every time you shower. Give it a month, and if it doesn't work, then I'm sorry that I made you tougher.

    sound like you have some allergies to figure out. might be something in your house.

    is it itchy like dandruff? or a little more painful everytime you scratch it. I believe may be more than dandruff, might be a skin problem or something. better go see a dermatologist and have it checked to get the right medications

    It sounds like you might have some kind of skin condition. Why not go see a dermatologist, who can actually diagnose you and give you something for it? They'll give a lot more help than you get on here.

    Hello

    I believe you have skin fungus. There are creams that your doctor will prescribe you. My mother has similar spots and they tend to get worse at certain times of the year. Do not attempt to treat yourself. Good luck.

    i might help... it could be for several resons..as water,genitics,type of shampo you use,hats you might put on your head,or even sharing stuff with other infected persons... and i think when you started using things to cure your dandruff proplem the side effect was those blotches

    as for the dandruff, you may want to have that checked. it may emphazema (spelling). my overall diagnosis, just go to the doctor.

    Source(s): my doctor.
