dandruff question!

[lilywest]

had really flaky scalp and hairdresser recommended an anti-dandruff shampoo. Used it several times before realising that it had salicylic acid in it (about 1.5%). Friend said not to worry because won't have absorbed enough to do any damage but am still a bit worried. Any advice?

I used head and shoulders when pregnant. no problems. If in doubt though why not ask your pharmacist

Have stopped using it now but just worried that it may have caused some harm.
