These common scalp issues are highly treatable. For dandruff and scalp pimples, medicated shampoos containing ketoconazole (an antifungal) or salicylic acid (which unclogs pores) are highly effective. To prevent a dry scalp, alternate these with a gentle, sulfate-free moisturising shampoo. For hair loss, topical minoxidil is a well-proven option to stimulate regrowth. If the scalp pimples persist, a topical antibiotic like clindamycin may be prescribed by a doctor. These symptoms are very manageable, and I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to create a safe, personalised routine for your hair and scalp type.
