It's actually not dry scalp. It's oily scalp that causes dandruff. Use head and shoulders or you can try natural junk like apple cider vinegar, or rubbing salt to break apart dead skin.

*Noddling solemnly* While many disagree I have to say yes, chemicals (even in conditioners and shampoos) can damage hair. One should only wash their hair often enough to keep it clean. Daily doses can over do it, especially if you use the rinse and repeat method.\n\nNow I cannot say if this is the cause of your problem, but beware products that contain alcohol or lauryl sulphate as they dry out hair and make it brittle.\n\nMost people routinely lose between 70 and 150 hairs from their scalp each day, mainly through washing, brushing, and combing.\n\nScalp hair starts to thin when more hairs are lost through normal shedding than the scalp is able to renew. About 40% of the density of scalp hair has to be lost before thinning of the hair becomes noticeable.\n\nHair loss can be caused by:\n\n    * Heredity. Most balding is caused by a genetic predisposition - in other words, it's part of a person's genetic makeup. This is called male pattern baldness, or hereditary balding or thinning. It is the most common cause of thinning hair.\n\n    * Illness, certain physical conditions, or their treatments. This can include high fever, thyroid disease, childbirth, inadequate protein in the diet, iron deficiency, cancer treatments, the use of certain medications, and other causes.\nFor more see http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/hairloss/HL_whatis.html\n\nSome good alternatives are found here http://www.answerbag.com/c_view.php/1654

You may have dry skin.  Try using some good hydrating lotion.  Oil Of Olay, Jergens, etc.

I got your solution, and it may be out of left-field. Your problem is not natural dandruff, but conditioner. Yes, you are suffering from buildup, not dandruff.\n\nMy solution is to condition once-a-week, and use CLARIFYING shampoo once a week. Condition your hair preferably after clarifying. \n\nHead & Shoulders and other dandruff shampoo like that clean the scalp, but the medicines in them may actually inflame and cause more dandruff.\n\nIf you follow what I just wrote, you are guaranteed to eliminate dandruff, providing you wash your hair regularly, of course.\n\nSuave sells clarifying shampoo for a buck and it works well.

Well I assume you are white so have you ever considered that you have lice (do you live with animals in the house??). If not then start by thoroughly washing your hair with medicated shampoo. Then use a light oil or grease in your hair. Sulfur 8 works for me and my kids when their heads start to itch. A little oil/grease wont hurt anybody, no matter what hair type!!

Coal tar might help.That's the active ingredient in Nutrogena T Gel.You can also try T Sal with salicylic acid to help the sloughing process and unclog the pores while removing dead skin cells.\nI'm surprised your doctor didn't recommend that you supplement selenium in tablet or capsule form.Selenium is linked to curing such ailments of the scalp as is vitamin C.C governs the circulation of your scalp along with some other vitamins.Biotin may also help as it's responsible for the health of the follicle.\nShen Min is a company I've used products from.They're primarily for thinning hair but have many more benefits.Do a search for that name and you'll get a few hits.\nThe fact of the matter is it sounds like psoriasis and not seborric dermatitis.You'll need to see a dermatologist if it is.

An Apple Cider Vinegar rinse would help head itchies, if that's what you are talking about.\n\nPut about 1/2 tablespoon per cup of warm water, and make as much as you need to rinse your scalp and your hair. It helps restore the pH balance to your skin (which might be where the itchies are coming from) and also helps out your hair by closing the cuticles, removing build-up, detangling, and adding sheen.\n\nI urge everyone to try an ACV rinse! It's great!

You sound as though you have allergies. Try an over the counter allergy medicine like Claritin or Alavert. Before you go to bed bathe/shower and wash your hair. This will get rid of the pollen in your hair and on your body. Then, get into clean sheets. If this doesn't work, see your doctor...

what kind of doctor have you seen? have you seen a neurologist? it sounds like it could be a neuralgia if it's not a skin condition. there are a bunch of different types of neuralgias, is it just the top/back/sides/all over your scalp? how about your forehead or other areas of your face?
