Dandruff natural cures 

One of the symptoms of dandruff is due to clogged oil glands. The pores or the follicles on the scalp that are clogged with oil can cause over-drying and flaky skin. Oiling the scalp can further aggravate the condition of the clogged oil glands. To begin with, do not resume the procedure of oiling your hair or scalp.

One of the most common skin conditions that plague the human scalp are flaky dead skin cells also known as dandruff, unreasonable oiliness also referred to as seborrhea, and oily crusts sticking to the reddened scalp which may also be itchy and moist, known as seborrheic dermatitis. These scalp abnormalities usually begin when a person has a good growth of hair and the conditions persist as the hair begins to fall because of androgenetic alopecia described as male or female-pattern hair loss. Heavy dandruff can also be a sign of psoriasis and hence the scalp must be evaluated as soon as possible to diagnose the correct disorder, in order for treatment to begin.

It is likely that you may be suffering from two different conditions but since the dandruff seems to have been neglected for too long, it is also likely that severe dandruff can lead to premature hair loss.
Dandruff and dry, inflamed skin is usually treated with a prescribed anti-dandruff shampoo or an effective medicated cleansing agent available over the counter. In case of seborrheic dermatitis, the condition must be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist.
