Dandruff & Scalp Treatment in Chromepet, Chennai

Persistent flaking is usually seborrhoeic dermatitis — an inflammatory reaction involving a yeast that lives on everyone's skin — rather than a dry scalp. It is treated with medicated shampoos used correctly, prescription topicals during flares, and in-clinic scalp sessions where the skin is inflamed. It is controlled rather than cured, and returns if the routine stops.

What you get

Dandruff & Scalp Treatment, explained simply

Persistent flaking is usually seborrhoeic dermatitis, not a dry scalp, which is why washing less makes it worse. We combine medicated shampoos used the right way, prescription lotions during flares, and in-clinic scalp sessions when the skin is inflamed. It is a condition that comes and goes, so you leave with a plan for the next flare too.

Done in Chromepet, Chennai. Results vary from person to person — the doctor tells you what to expect at your FREE consultation.

The details

What to expect, honestly

How it works

  • The diagnosis comes first — seborrhoeic dermatitis, dryness, psoriasis and contact reactions look alike and are treated differently
  • Medicated shampoo only works at the right frequency and left on long enough to act
  • Prescription topicals settle an active flare
  • A maintenance routine keeps it down, because the tendency relapses when treatment stops

Sessions & downtime

Most people settle within two to four weeks of using the right routine properly. In-clinic scalp sessions, where they are needed, are usually three to four spaced a fortnight apart, and then it becomes maintenance.

None. Medicated shampoos can feel drying for the first week or two, and in-clinic sessions leave the scalp slightly tender for a few hours.

Aftercare

  • Leave medicated shampoo on for the contact time you are given — rinsing it straight off wastes it
  • Do not wash less because of the flaking; washing less usually makes it worse
  • Pause heavy oiling, which feeds the yeast involved rather than soothing the scalp
  • Drop back to the maintenance frequency once it settles instead of stopping altogether

When we would not treat

  • Sudden patchy loss with scaling, scarring or pustules — that needs a diagnosis before any routine
  • Broken, weeping or infected scalp skin, which is treated first
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding, where some medicated agents are substituted
  • Anyone wanting a one-off fix; this relapses, and a plan that ignores that will fail

FAQ

Dandruff & Scalp Treatment questions, answered

Quick answers before you book. Anything else, ask the doctor at your FREE consultation.

Ask the doctor

Is dandruff the same as a dry scalp?

Usually not. Most persistent flaking is seborrhoeic dermatitis, which is inflammatory, and treating it as dryness with oils and less washing tends to make it worse.

Does dandruff cause hair loss?

Not pattern hair loss. It can add to shedding through inflammation and scratching, which is worth treating, but a widening parting has a different cause and needs its own assessment.

Can dandruff be cured?

It is controlled rather than cured. Most people can keep it quiet with a maintenance routine, and flares are manageable once you know what to do about them.

Why does it come back when I stop the shampoo?

Because the routine suppresses an ongoing tendency rather than removing it. That is why the plan sets a maintenance frequency instead of stopping the moment the flaking clears.

Is oiling good for dandruff?

Generally not. The yeast involved in seborrhoeic dermatitis grows on skin oils, so heavy oiling often worsens flaking and itch even though it feels soothing at the time.

How long before it settles?

Most people see a clear difference within two to four weeks of using the right product properly. If nothing has changed by then the diagnosis is reviewed, rather than the dose simply increased.
