Dandruff & Scalp Care Treatment in Bengaluru
Medical Care for Flaking, Itching, Oily Scalp & Scalp Irritation
Dandruff is more than dry flakes on your shoulders. Persistent flaking, itching, redness, or an oily scalp usually points to an underlying condition such as seborrheic dermatitis, fungal overgrowth, or a disturbed scalp barrier, and over-the-counter shampoos often stop working once you put them away. At Skin Cache, our dermatologists examine your scalp to identify the actual cause and plan treatment accordingly, which may include medicated shampoos, topical or oral medication, scalp peels, or in-clinic scalp therapies. Since an untreated scalp condition can weaken the hair root over time, early assessment matters if you are also noticing hair fall.

Benefits of Dandruff & Scalp Treatment
Controls Flaking
Reduces visible flakes by treating the fungal overgrowth and inflammation behind them.
Relieves Itching
Calms an irritated, itchy scalp so you are not scratching through the day.
Balances Scalp Oil
Helps manage excess oil that feeds dandruff and leaves hair looking greasy.
Supports Healthier Hair Growth
A calmer scalp puts less stress on the hair root, which matters if you are also seeing hair fall.
Restores the Scalp Barrier
Repairs dryness and irritation caused by harsh products or over-washing.
Reduces Recurrence
Treats the underlying cause rather than the flakes alone, so the problem is less likely to return.

- Aims to settle the condition and then keep it under control

Why Choose Dandruff & Scalp Treatment?
- Over-the-counter shampoos manage the symptom only while you use them
- Flaking usually returns within weeks of stopping
- Dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, and fungal infections look similar but need different treatment
- A dermatologist identifies the cause before starting treatment
- Prescription-strength options and in-clinic therapies bring the condition under control
- A maintenance routine follows, to reduce how often it returns
- Important for hair too, as a scalp inflamed for months can weaken the hair root
How Does Dandruff & Scalp Treatment Work?
Scalp Consultation
Your dermatologist examines your scalp and hair to identify the underlying cause of the flaking or itching.
Maintenance & Aftercare
A personalised scalp care routine is provided to keep symptoms settled and reduce the chance of recurrence.
Treatment Procedure
Medicated products and in-clinic scalp therapies are used to control the infection, inflammation, and excess oil.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Scalp treatment may suit you if:
- Flaking keeps returning even after using anti-dandruff shampoos
- Your scalp itches, feels tight, or turns red and sore
- You have an oily scalp with yellowish, sticky flakes
- You are noticing hair fall along with scalp symptoms
- You have visible scaling along the hairline, eyebrows, or beard area
- Symptoms worsen with weather changes, stress, or certain hair products
- You have used multiple products without a proper diagnosis
Some conditions need attention first:
- Active infections or open sores on the scalp may need to settle before treatment
- Recent chemical treatments may require a waiting period
- Pregnancy and existing medical conditions are considered before prescribing oral medication
What to Expect After Treatment
- First visit includes a scalp examination, sometimes with a dermatoscope
- A treatment plan is started once the cause is clear
- In-clinic scalp therapies are usually comfortable, with no downtime
- Mild tingling or scalp sensitivity may occur for a short while
- Itching often eases first, usually within the first week or two
- Visible flaking settles more gradually over a few weeks
- Most scalp conditions are managed rather than cured
- You move to a maintenance routine once symptoms are under control
- Follow-up visits help adjust the plan if the response is slow or symptoms return
Post-Treatment Care
- Use the medicated shampoo exactly as advised, including how long to leave it on the scalp
- Do not stop treatment the moment flaking reduces, as the condition often returns
- Wash hair at the frequency your dermatologist recommends rather than over-washing
- Avoid heavy oils, thick serums, and styling products that build up on the scalp
- Do not scratch or pick at flakes, since this worsens irritation
- Wait for the advised gap before colouring, straightening, or smoothening treatments
- Keep hair and scalp dry after workouts, as sweat and dampness aggravate symptoms
- Attend follow-up visits so the plan can be adjusted as your scalp settles

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Most scalp treatments involve medicated shampoos and topical application. In-clinic scalp therapies may cause mild tingling or a warm feeling, which settles quickly.
It depends on the cause and how severe the condition is. Mild dandruff often settles with a medicated routine at home, while stubborn or recurring cases may need a few in-clinic sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your dermatologist will explain the plan after examining your scalp.
No. You can go back to your normal routine the same day. You may be asked to avoid washing your hair or using styling products for a short while after an in-clinic session.
Most scalp conditions are managed rather than permanently cured. Symptoms can return if treatment is stopped too early or the maintenance routine is dropped. A follow-up plan helps keep the scalp settled long term.
Itching usually eases within the first week or two. Visible flaking reduces more gradually over a few weeks as the treatment works. Response varies from person to person.
A scalp that stays inflamed and itchy for a long time can weaken the hair root and add to hair fall. Constant scratching also damages hair. Treating the scalp early helps protect your hair.
They can control mild flaking, but symptoms often return once you stop using them. If flaking keeps coming back or is linked with redness, soreness, or hair fall, a proper diagnosis is worth getting.
