Key Benefits
Targets Root Cause of Fungal Infection: The formulation utilises 2% ketoconazole, a potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent that directly attacks and eliminates Malassezia furfur, the primary yeast responsible for dandruff and scalp inflammation.
Provides Immediate Flaky Scalp Treatment: Enhanced with Zinc Pyrithione (ZPTO), this formula actively reduces the hyperproliferation of skin cells, helping to clear away visible white flakes and preventing them from shedding onto your shoulders.
Fast-Acting Itchy Scalp Solution: By regulating scalp microflora and lowering fungal loads, this shampoo rapidly reduces localised inflammation, offering instant dandruff relief and calming persistent, uncomfortable itching after the first few washes.
Helps Prevent Dandruff Recurrence: Unlike cosmetic shampoos that only wash away surface flakes, this targeted formula deposits active ingredients into the scalp, creating an environment that inhibits future fungal growth and ensures long-term scalp care.
Manages Severe Seborrhoeic Dermatitis Effectively: Clinically trusted to manage the redness, scaling, and severe irritation associated with seborrhoeic dermatitis, making it an essential part of a medically guided scalp care routine.
Conditions to Reduce Hair Fall Due to Dandruff: Severe dandruff clogs follicles and weakens hair roots, leading to shedding. This shampoo contains an advanced conditioning base that not only prevents hair from drying out but helps reduce hair fall due to dandruff by restoring a healthy scalp barrier.

Health Queries
I am getting white flakes or white skin coming from my scalp, and it keeps falling from my head, sometimes with itching and dryness too. What could this scalp problem be, and what shampoo may help control it better?

White flakes coming from the scalp along with itching and dryness are most commonly due to dandruff or a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, where the scalp becomes irritated because of excess oil, yeast growth, or sensitivity of the skin. It can also get worse with stress, weather changes, irregular washing, or using harsh hair products. The flakes may look like dry skin falling off, and itching usually comes and goes depending on how active the condition is. For control, medicated anti-dandruff shampoos usually help better than normal shampoos. Ingredients like ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide are commonly used because they reduce the yeast and calm scalp inflammation. These shampoos work best when used consistently and kept on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. On other days, a mild, gentle shampoo can help keep the scalp clean without over-drying it. Avoid scratching and avoid heavy oiling, because both can sometimes make dandruff worse in sensitive scalps. If flakes and itching keep returning despite regular use of medicated shampoos, or if there is redness or hair fall, it is better to get checked by a dermatologist for stronger or combination treatment.
I have been suffering from dandruff for the past 5 to 6 years, and now I also have a dandruff-like fungal infection in my beard area, and even after trying many medicines and home remedies, the problem still keeps coming back. Which treatments or medicines are usually effective for controlling this condition and reducing it long-term?

When dandruff has been present for many years and starts affecting areas like the beard, it often points to a chronic condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, where a naturally present yeast on the skin becomes overactive. This can cause repeated flaking, itching, redness, and patchy irritation, especially in oily areas like the scalp, beard, eyebrows, and sides of the nose. Because it is long-term in nature, symptoms often improve with treatment but tend to return if maintenance is not continued. Management usually works best with a combination approach. Medicated antifungal shampoos for the scalp and antifungal washes or creams for the beard area are commonly used to reduce yeast buildup. In more persistent cases, short courses of oral antifungal medicines may be needed after proper medical evaluation. Along with treatment, regular gentle cleansing, avoiding heavy oils on affected areas, and keeping the skin dry can significantly reduce recurrence. Scratching or frequent product switching can worsen irritation and make the cycle harder to break. Since it has been recurring for 5-6 years and spreading to the beard, a dermatologist review is important to confirm the diagnosis and create a long-term maintenance plan, because chronic cases often need ongoing control rather than one-time treatment.
I have dandruff on my scalp along with heavy hair fall, and I am worried it may become worse if ignored. What treatment, shampoo, or care can help me control both dandruff and hair loss now?
Veda Maddala

Dandruff, along with hair fall, usually happens when the scalp becomes oily, irritated, or has mild fungal overgrowth, and this ongoing inflammation can weaken hair roots and increase shedding. Stress, seasonal changes, irregular washing, or using harsh hair products can also make the condition worse and more persistent over time. To manage it, a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, or selenium sulfide can help reduce flakes and calm scalp irritation. It is best used a few times a week and kept on the scalp for a few minutes before rinsing. On other days, a mild shampoo is better so the scalp does not become too dry. Avoid leaving oil on the scalp for long periods, as it can sometimes worsen dandruff in sensitive scalps. Along with this, keeping a balanced diet, good sleep, and reducing stress can support hair health and slow down hair fall. Hair recovery is gradual, so consistency is important. If hair fall is heavy, patchy, or continues despite controlling dandruff, a dermatologist review is needed to check for other causes and adjust treatment accordingly.

All good, except meeting the delivery timelines.
It would be good for Apollo 24/7 to work on their delivery timelines commitment and make sure they commit a timeline that really works, instead of committing such blind timeline.
I ordered purely because the same day delivery was promised. But :-(
