1. Over-the-Counter Shampoos

• Anti-fungal Shampoos: Contain ingredients like ketoconazole or selenium sulfide.
• Zinc Pyrithione Shampoos: Reduce fungus and soothe inflammation.
• Salicylic Acid Shampoos: Remove scales; may require conditioner to combat dryness.

2. Home Remedies

• Tea Tree Oil: Antifungal properties; dilute with carrier oil before applying.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Balances scalp pH; mix equal parts with water and rinse.
• Coconut Oil: Moisturizes the scalp and has antifungal properties.

3. Lifestyle Changes

• Maintain good hygiene by regularly washing hair.
• Manage stress through relaxation techniques.
• Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

4. Consultation with Professionals

If over-the-counter treatments do not improve symptoms, consult a dermatologist for further assessment and prescription options.

5. Regular Scalp Care Routine

Create a consistent hair care routine using mild shampoos and avoiding excessive styling products to maintain scalp health.
