Dandruff & Scalp Care
When the flakes keep returning.
A flaking scalp can be itchy, uncomfortable and difficult to manage with trial-and-error shampoos. Oiliness, irritation and other scalp conditions can contribute, and the most useful first step is to identify the pattern.
Nivani Aesthetics Clinic in Malad West offers a consultation-led discussion of scalp symptoms and the treatment options appropriate to the diagnosis.
Flakes, itch and the causes worth checking.
Redness and recurring itch
Seborrheic dermatitis and other inflammatory conditions can cause scale that returns after initial improvement.
Symptoms that need a closer look
Pain, oozing, patchy hair loss or stubborn thick plaques deserve proper clinical assessment to exclude other conditions.
Dandruff care, guided by the cause.
The corrected Nivani catalogue lists one treatment in this concern group. We are keeping it that way.
Dandruff Treatment
An individual scalp-care plan based on the likely cause of flaking. Depending on examination, that may involve medicated shampoos, scalp-care changes or referral for further diagnosis; the exact recommendation is patient-specific.
Treatment suitability is decided after assessment. Listed options do not imply a guaranteed result or an approved device, formulation or prescription for every patient.
When a shampoo is not enough.
Avoid escalating blindly
Repeatedly switching harsh products or using unverified home remedies may make irritation worse.
Know when to refer
Persistent inflammation, sores, thick plaques or hair loss can require dermatologist-led diagnosis and prescription care.
Recurring scalp symptoms deserve a diagnosis.
Dr. Neha Garg (BDS, cosmetologist) directs Nivani’s aesthetic services. A scalp condition that calls for medical diagnosis or prescription treatment should be evaluated by an appropriately qualified clinician or dermatologist.

Questions about persistent dandruff.
Why does dandruff return after treatment?
Some causes, including seborrheic dermatitis, can recur and may need ongoing maintenance care.
Is dandruff caused by poor hygiene?
No. It can be associated with oiliness, yeast, irritation and inflammatory skin conditions.
Can dandruff lead to hair loss?
Inflammation and scratching may occur alongside shedding. Persistent hair loss needs its own assessment.
Which shampoo should I use?
The choice depends on the cause and hair type. Medicated shampoos can contain different active ingredients and have different usage instructions.
How long should shampoo stay on the scalp?
Follow the product directions or medical advice. Some treatments need contact time before rinsing.
Can I treat dandruff with oils?
Heavy oils or fragranced products may worsen irritation in some people. Discuss your routine if symptoms recur.
When should I see a dermatologist?
Seek assessment for persistent symptoms, pain, bleeding, substantial redness, plaques or patchy hair loss.
Is Dandruff Treatment a one-time cure?
There is no basis for promising a permanent cure. Ongoing maintenance may be needed.
