Fed up of searching for the right dandruff shampoo/treatment?

If you’ve been dealing with dandruff that just won’t settle, you’re not alone.

It’s one of the most common concerns I see in clinic, and it’s very rarely just “dry skin” or something that can be fixed with a quick change of shampoo.

Dandruff usually has something driving it. It can be linked to oil imbalance, product build-up, irritation, or an overgrowth of yeast on the scalp. That’s often why it seems to improve for a short time, then comes straight back again.

I see a lot of people stuck in that cycle of trying stronger and stronger anti-dandruff shampoos, but when the scalp is already irritated, that approach can sometimes make things worse rather than better.

In trichology, we look at what’s actually happening on the scalp. The aim isn’t just to clear flakes for now, but to calm things down, restore balance and support longer-term scalp health so the issue doesn’t keep returning.

One treatment I do often recommend, where it’s appropriate, is Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. It contains an antifungal ingredient called ketoconazole, which targets the yeast that’s commonly linked to dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Used correctly, it can be really effective at bringing the scalp back under control. The key is using it as part of a plan, not just dipping in and out when things flare up.

If your scalp has been persistently itchy, flaky or irritated, it’s usually a sign that it needs a more tailored approach rather than trial and error.

I offer personalised scalp assessments and trichology consultations, both in clinic and online, to help you understand what’s actually going on and how to treat it properly.
