Dandruff shows up as an itchy scalp with dry white flakes in the hair or on the shoulders. Seborrheic dermatitis is more pronounced — greasy, scaly patches that can appear on the scalp and also on the face, eyebrows, eyelids, or mid-chest. A scalp yeast plays a big role, which is why both often respond to medicated shampoos. Symptoms tend to flare with stress, cold, and dry air, and ease in summer. In infants this appears as “cradle cap,” which usually clears on its own by a few months of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSelf-care products available in our shop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKetoconazole shampoo (Nizoral) — antifungal, targets the underlying yeast\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eZinc pyrithione shampoo (Head \u0026amp; Shoulders)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSelenium sulfide shampoo (Selsun)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCoal tar or salicylic acid shampoos to lift scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFragrance-free moisturizers for facial\/body patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLeave a medicated shampoo on the scalp for up to 15 minutes before rinsing, and alternate with your regular shampoo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ocp-ail-rx\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eTreatments our pharmacist can prescribe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"ocp-ail-note\"\u003eFor your information only: in Ontario, our pharmacist can assess this condition and, when appropriate, prescribe from the medications listed below.
