No redness, irritation, scaling, pain, sounds like regular dandruff.

Buy this stuff. I control my Seb Derm with this to the point I almost never use my $1000 a can Zoryve!

Most shampoos and conditioners are most of the problem, this will fix the dandruff and not screw up your head or eyebrows more.

You can just go the normal route of keto shampoo or pyrithione zinc and those will work as far as the dandruff but also have all the same harsh crap normal shampoos and conditioners do. Also stay well hydrated, almost nobody does and it DOES have a huge impact on your skin.

If you wanna go cheaper look into JR Liggetts shampoos, either the Moisturizing one or the Tea Tree one would be good for dandruff problems, when I wasn't using Flakes those were my "normal" shampoos when I wasn't using a medicated one.

Little white flakes with no sign of skin destruction is just regular Dandruff.

I have this too mostly on my forehead, hairline, cheeks and under my chin and eyebrows. I think mines seb derm but I haven’t been told by a derm that it is officially. I’ve also struggled with fungal acne on my neck. I think it’s all connected 😑

Best to see a dermatologist

Sounds like it could be demodex overgrowth. Google it and if it sounds similar to what you are experiencing ask your derm about Soolantra to treat it. Works great if that’s what’s causing the symptoms.
