Anti - dandruff therapy

While over-the-counter dandruff shampoos often suffice, persistent or severe dandruff might necessitate clinical
intervention.

Prescription Medications

• Topical corticosteroids: Reduce inflammation and itching.
• Calcineurin inhibitors: Suppress the immune system's response.
• Anti-fungal medications: Target the underlying cause of dandruff, often a yeast-like fungus.

Phototherapy

• Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) light: Targets skin cells involved in dandruff, reducing inflammation and scaling.
Other Clinical Procedures
• Scalp exfoliation: Removal of dead skin cells to reduce flakiness.
• Microneedling: Enhances absorption of topical treatments and stimulates collagen production.

Important Note: Always consult a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your specific
condition.
