  Dandruff is dry flakes of skin on the scalp. It happens when a lot of dead skin cells build up on the scalp. Dandruff is usually caused by the overgrowth of fungus thats naturally found on your scalp. It isnt contagious. Dandruff is very common in teenagers and adults. Youre more likely to see dandruff when your child reaches puberty, because this is when the oil glands become more active. In babies, dandruff is called cradle cap. […] You can usually control dandruff by regularly washing hair with a medicated shampoo. You can buy medicated shampoo from the pharmacy or supermarket. Look for shampoos with the following ingredients: 2% ketaconazole for example, Nizoral or Sebizole; selenium sulphide for example, Selsun Gold; coal tar for example, Neutrogena T-gel. You or your child should massage the shampoo into their scalp and leave it in contact with the skin for 5 minutes, then rinse out. Do this daily for 2-3 weeks. If the dandruff is very itchy or inflamed, your doctor might prescribe a steroid lotion to be applied to the scalp after using the shampoo.

For example, your child can wash with their usual shampoo for one wash, then use medicated shampoo for the next wash. […] To stop the dandruff from coming back, your child can use medicated shampoo as long they need to. For example, some children might keep using medicated shampoo once or twice a week.
