Hi Mr Deepak Kumar.
For Dry dandruff use Scalp Plus shampoo 2 times a week. This is medicated shampoo wich will not have any foarming effect. Take little shampoo in hand mix with little water and apply in sclap(head) alow it to soak for 10 min rinse with water. Follwed by Regular shampoo of your choice.
Like this do twice a week. Once dandruff controlled, u can stop this shampoo, dont use it like regular shampoo.
Hello Deepak,
You can follow this -
1. Use ketoconazole 2% shampoo twice weekly. Continue Minoxidil. Tab. Multivitamin + Zinc once daily × 3 months Tab. Vitamin E 400mg once daily × 2 months.

Hello DEEPAK, Dandruff and scaly scalp can be a fungal infection.
For dandruff, follow this: 1. Stop using any shampoo 2. Use antidandruff shampoo only i.e. SELSUN
Hair and skin problems demand very specific treatment. Therefore, consult a dermatologist in-person for better managemnt.
Take care

You’re experiencing dandruff, dry scalp, dull skin, and have fatty liver, and you’re using Minoxidil. These issues are often related to scalp dryness, poor diet, liver health, and sometimes stress. Please consult a dermatologist and hepatologist for proper evaluation; in the meantime, use a gentle anti-dandruff shampoo, keep scalp moisturized, avoid excessive oil/heat styling, eat a liver-friendly diet (low-fat, high-fiber, fruits, vegetables), and stay hydrated.
Managing issues like dandruff, dry skin, and the implications of a fatty liver requires a multi-faceted approach. For dandruff, ensure you are using a good anti-dandruff shampoo containing ingredients like ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione. Using it consistently, about 2-3 times a week, can help reduce flaking. If there’s no improvement, consulting a dermatologist might offer more tailored treatments, such as prescription shampoos or topical treatments. Dry skin and the associated dullness can be mitigated with a regular skincare routine incorporating a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin can help retain moisture. Drinking adequate water daily is also essential to keep the skin hydrated. Regarding fatty liver, it can be managed predominantly through lifestyle changes. Maintaining a balanced diet, rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats while reducing sugar and saturated fat intake, can significantly help. Regular physical activity, like a brisk walk for about 30 minutes most days of the week, aids in weight loss and improves liver health. If you’re considering using minoxidil, typically used for hair growth, consult your healthcare provider to ensure it’s appropriate for your condition, especially if you’re dealing with any underlying health issues like a fatty liver. It’s vital to avoid anything that might exacerbate your liver condition. If minoxidil is not specifically related to your concern of hair loss, it might be unnecessary. Regular monitoring of liver function through medical check-ups is important when dealing with a fatty liver to prevent progression to more severe conditions. If swelling, jaundice, or other worrying symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention promptly. Overall, the key is consistency and dedication to these lifestyle changes and seeking medical advice for tailored treatments.
