- Health Queries for Cipla 8X Shampoo, 120 ml
I have been suffering from dandruff for the past 10 years. I have tried many medicated shampoos, but none of them have shown any improvement. The dandruff appears like fine dust or powder on my scalp. What could be the cause, and what treatment would you recommend?

Long-standing dandruff that looks like fine dust may be due to chronic dry scalp, seborrheic dermatitis, or even psoriasis. Use a medicated shampoo regularly (leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes) and avoid harsh hair products or excessive oiling. If it has not improved despite treatment, it is best to see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and therapy.
