Hi, I have a VERY BAD DANDERUFF PROBLEM!!! can you please help?

Hello, I have tried next to everything to get rid of my dandruff. I’ve tried numerous shampoos and I’ve also used coconut oil AND NOTHING works I even got expensive shampoo from the pharmacy. I even tried putting apple cider vinegar in my hair and nothing is working. When I put my hand through my hair it’s like snow coming out of my hair it’s that bad. It almost feels like it’s layered on my scalp.. please help me!

    go to doctor but also order scalp brush because it helps lift dead skin from scalp and may wash out easier.

    If dandruff treatments are no working then you don't have dandruff. There are many skin diseases specific to the scalp and the only one who can help figure out what you really have at this point is a doctor. Doctors have stronger prescription strength medications that treat the underlying cause of the flaking and itching.

    Have the doctor check you for psorisis.

    You could have a hormonal problem.where you have too much oil. Use a light clear shampoo on a daily basis. If you are still in puberty, it will go away on it own. Don't touch your hair and stay cool.

    Then you don't have dandruff. Sounds like you have a fungus, and have no idea what type. I had that and had to get a prescription and it burned when rubbed the obtainment in, so yeah, go see the doctor before it gets worse.

    I think the answer lies in your diet.

    How are your allergies? When you go to the doctor for allergies, the first thing the doctor will do is run their hand through your hair looking for dandruff. Dandruff is caused by allergies. Limit the allergens in your home, perfumes, fabreeze, laundry soap, ect.
