Not all scalp flaking problems are dandruff. If you're using a dandruff shampoo for something that isn't dandruff, it's not going to do anything. Coal tar works great, but I don't like the idea of putting coal anything on my head. I use pine tar, but it has to be Packer's Pine. It's the strongest, most effective pine tar shampoo out there. It caused me to stop using coal tar. I believe my problem is some kind of psoriasis. Also, tamanu oil is good for skin conditions and can be used as an immediate application kind of thing.
Pine tar did nothing for me except smell like tar.
I used to do coal tar one day and pine tar another. I think the most popular pine tar brand is Grandpas's. Packer's Pine is noticeably stronger. I use it every day now, and it's working. It stopped working when I was in Vietnam for a month, and I'm not sure why. My scalp was getting bad over there. Either my sugar consumption went up or the water there has something wrong with it.
That's odd. Different food prep and additive methods do weird things.
