Shaving head to clear dandruff

Dr Bindu Dewan
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital,
Delhi

Q: Can I shave my head regularly. I was told by someone that shaving my head regularly would have an adverse effect on the growth of the hair. I have shaved my head before for clearing the severe chronic dandruff which comes off in flakes.I have been using statum B lotion for a long period.

A:Shaving does not have any adverse effects. If the dandruff is not responding to Statum-B, it may be helpful to try a coal tar based shampoo like PROTAR-K.
