- Antifungals: These medications prevent the growth of yeast and other fungi that can cause dandruff. Commonly-prescribed antifungal medications include ciclopirox, ketoconazole, fluconazole, clotrimazole, econazole, and terbinafine. These are typically applied topically to the scalp or affected area.
- Corticosteroids: In some cases, your provider may prescribe a corticosteroid like fluocinolone or clobetasol to reduce scalp inflammation.
- Selenium sulfide: This anti-infective agent helps get rid of scalp fungi and slows the progression of skin flaking.

About Dandruff treatment
Dandruff is a common, non-contagious skin condition that occurs when dead skin cells and oils build up on the scalp, eyebrows or beard, causing itching and flaking. It is a milder form of seborrheic dermatitis.
Symptoms of dandruff include:
- White or yellow flakes of dead skin in your hair or on your scalp
- An itchy scalp, eyebrows or beard
Redness or crusting on the scalp, eyebrows or beard
Dandruff can be caused by several factors, including:- Allergies or sensitivities to certain products (detergents, shampoos)
- An oily scalp (this can lead to yeast overgrowth, causing flaking and irritation)
- Dry skin (this can cause flaking and irritation)
- Chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
- Malassezia (a type of yeast that feeds on natural scalp oils and can cause inflammation)
While mild causes of dandruff can typically be treated with over-the-counter (OTC) anti-dandruff shampoos, more severe cases may require medicated shampoos or another prescription treatment. A provider on Sesame can help determine the best dandruff treatment that’s best for you.
