Questions for your doctor regarding dandruff

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following dandruff-related questions:

  1. What may be causing my dandruff?

  2. Is my dandruff a cause for concern?

  3. What are my treatment options? How effective are they?

  4. When can I expect to see results from the dandruff shampoo?

  5. How long should I use the dandruff shampoo?

  6. Will the dandruff come back if I stop using the shampoo?

  7. Do I need to make any lifestyle or dietary changes to control my dandruff?

  8. Should I change the type of hair styling products I use?

  9. Should I wash my hair more or less often?

  10. Will the dandruff get worse at certain times of year or will it remain the same year-round?
