Don't pick or scratch the scalp. Avoid irritating soaps and greasy ointments and creams. Make sure you wash your hair frequently, and use a nonoily shampoo. Try using a hair product that does not contain chemicals. Some people have found that the sun helps clear up dandruff, but others state that the problem becomes worse after sun exposure.
If antibiotics are prescribed, don't fail to take extra B-complex vitamins. You should also take acidophilus or Megadophilus supplements to replace the "friendly" bacteria that are destroyed by antibiotics.
