Seborrheic dermatitis is the population explosion of opportunistic Malassezia fungus feasting on increased scalp sebum in addition to the above conditions. There are 7 species of Malassezia, and one in particular loves scalp sebum because...

Works and is very powerful!
Pros: Works wonders on persistent flaking of dandruff, leaves hair cleanCons: Small size bottle for the price. Tingling Side effects.

Head and shoulders took 5 days but also experience tremendous hair loss when using Head and Shoulders. Both leaves my hair a little dry and a weird tingling feeling. I also noticed a lengthy ingredient list with many warnings.So you know that this is prescription strength that is available over the counter. I will list the Drug facts later.If you're experience dandruff and nothing works, definitely try this. If you haven't try everything, try more organic shampoo such as...
