Doctor Reveals Key Shampoo Ingredients to Stop Dandruff
A doctor has warned that dandruff may worsen if your shampoo doesn’t contain key anti-fungal and exfoliating ingredients. Dr. Simi Adedeji explains that dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the scalp, and to manage it effectively, shampoos should include ingredients like Ketoconazole, Selenium Sulfide, Coal Tar, or Salicylic Acid. These components help reduce yeast, soothe inflammation, and remove flakes. If symptoms persist after a month of using such shampoos, Canadians are advised to consult a GP to rule out other skin conditions.
