DS1 age 10 has a very flakey scalp. Head and shoulders? Or some other treatment needed?

[tortoise]

Is it normal for a 10 yr old to have dandruff? Should i just try him on head and shoulders or some other treatment?
TIA.

dunno, but my 7-yr-old is the same...I have been using H&S on him, in the absence of any other ideas. Someone suggested Wash and Go as it is supposed to be milder?

Is the h&s working?

2 uses so far and there is a definite improvment. Worried he will have to use it for ever and ever though....
He had cradle cap which never disappeared, despite olive oil massages etc etc.

DS1 never had cradle cap. Will try H&s first then. The other options are far more expensive. Thanks.

is it ringworm? you can get ringworm in the scalp...pressents much like dandruff.

try googling image to see if similar?

I don't think its ringworm.
