Dandruff Treatment in Rohini, Delhi

Yes. The scalp examination, any test that is needed, the treatment plan and your review visits all take place at our Rohini clinic in North-West Delhi.

The clinic is in North-West Delhi, near the Outer Ring Road, so it is close to Rohini, Pitampura, Shalimar Bagh, Prashant Vihar and neighbouring parts of North and North-West Delhi. The directions link on the clinic card opens its location in Google Maps.

Neither. The yeast involved lives on everyone’s skin; what differs is how a scalp reacts to it, so dandruff cannot be caught. A fungal scalp infection is different and can spread between children, one reason a scaly scalp with bald patches should be examined.

Dandruff tends to give larger, greasier, yellowish flakes on a scalp that may be red and itchy. A dry scalp gives small, dry, white flakes, usually with dry skin elsewhere, and is worse in cold weather. They need almost opposite care, and heavy oil on dandruff often makes it worse, so the difference is worth checking.

On the lengths, if you like how it feels. Heavy oil left on an itchy, flaking scalp tends to make seborrhoeic dermatitis worse rather than better, so if your scalp is flaky, keep oil off it, or wash it out properly, until the condition is under control.

Usually the opposite. Regular washing removes the oil that seborrhoeic dermatitis feeds on. What does not help is very hot water, hard scrubbing with the nails and scratching, all common habits that keep an inflamed scalp irritated.

Most people notice less flaking and itch within a few weeks, if the shampoo suits the condition and is left on for the time stated on the pack. If correct use has changed nothing, check the diagnosis rather than buying another bottle.

Often, yes. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is controlled rather than cured: it settles with treatment and tends to flare again with seasonal change, stress or a sweaty scalp. The plan therefore includes a maintenance routine, usually the shampoo used less often rather than stopped, and what to do when a flare starts.

Not permanently. An inflamed, itchy scalp can shed more while it is inflamed, and scratching snaps hairs, but that usually settles with the scalp. If shedding carries on once the scalp is calm, it is assessed separately; see hair fall treatment in Rohini.

The shampoos, scalp products and any prescribed lotion you have used, or photos of their labels; the name of any hair dye or chemical treatment used recently; and a note of when the problem started and when it is worse. Skip oiling the night before so the scalp can be seen as it usually is.

Promptly if there are bare patches or broken hairs, or if the scaling keeps spreading. A fungal scalp infection is seen more often in children, can spread between them and needs antifungal medicine from a doctor; an anti-dandruff shampoo alone will not clear it.

They can. Summer sweat under a helmet or cap and monsoon humidity are common triggers for flares; winter brings dry scalp, which looks similar but needs different care; and hard-water residue can leave a scalp itchy and dull. None of these is a reason to skip an examination if a shampoo used properly has not helped.

Yes, once the scalp is settled. Surgery is not done on an inflamed scalp, so the scalp condition is treated first and the procedure is planned afterwards. It is a short delay, not a reason to rule surgery out. See hair transplant at the Rohini clinic.

For most people it is a consultation, a medicated shampoo, sometimes a prescribed preparation for a few weeks, and a review. Prices are not published; your plan and its cost are explained after the examination. See cost and payment options.

Yes. Clear daylight photographs of the scalp with the hair parted, and of your shampoo labels, help the Rohini clinic answer a first question; if hair fall is the worry, the six-question hair loss self-assessment can suggest a next step. Neither replaces an examination. The clinic is open Mon–Sat · 10:00 – 20:00 (Sunday · closed).
