How to Get Rid of Dandruff Fast

Dandruff is embarrassing! If you’ve seen the Selsun Blue commercials then you absolutely know what I mean, dandruff can give bad signals. Comical as the Selsun Blue commercials are, there is some reality to the signals that dandruff says about you as a person.

When you have dandruff you look as if you don’t take care of yourself or are very hygienic. They say never to judge a book by its cover, but people as we all know it, do judge people based on their appearances. That is why it is important to get rid of dandruff fast, effectively, and work on measures so that it doesn’t ever rear its ugly head (no pun intended!).

There are several over the counter measures that you can take to get rid of dandruff fast. You can purchase medicated shampoos from your local pharmacy. Ask your pharmacist if you need help finding dandruff shampoo, but it should be in the shampoo aisle and you’ll be well on your way to getting rid of dandruff quickly!

To get rid of dandruff fast you can use:

1. Try shampoos with pyrinthione zinc, either 1.5% or 2% such as Selsun Salon Dandruff Shampoo or Head and Shoulders Endurance Shampoo.
2. You can also try a shampoo solution of 1% Ketoconazole which is sold as Nizoral A-D. There is prescription strength 2% Ketoconazole treatment that you can get from your doctor if you seek medical attention for your dandruff situation.
3. You can also try shampoos containing 1% selenium sulfide which can be found in certain Selsun Blue shampoo blends.
4. There is also the option of using a shampoo containing 0.5% coal tar. While it works well, coal tar containing dandruff solutions have various side effects including sensitivity to the sun, irritation, swelling, and redness.

If none of these over the counter methods work for you to get rid of dandruff fast, then it would be wise to visit your local doctor or medical practitioner and have them treat your dandruff. They will be able to prescribe you a treatment that you cannot purchase from the pharmacist. Also, you might find out that you do not have dandruff, and in fact have psoriasis or dermatitis.
