If you are finding it difficult to manage your dandruff or notice the flaking getting worse, it is advisable to get your scalp checked by your doctor, since there are multiple causes including yeasts, skin conditions, allergic reactions or even stress. Often, your first response is to scratch your scalp with your fingernails, which can promote further irritation or damage. For ongoing maintenance of sensitive scalp conditions, protect your head from extreme heat, cold and wind. Avoid the use of hair coloring or styling products because the harsh ingredients can produce further aggravation. Wash your hair with an antidandruff shampoo and follow with a conditioner containing the same active ingredient. Make sure to massage the product into your scalp and spread along the hair shaft for thorough coverage and distribution of the medicated conditioner.
