Dandruff can become a very serious condition when treatment is not done or either when the wrong treatment is given. Listed below are tips of when the doctor should be notified to avoid it becoming a very serious condition.

When To Seek Help From The Doctor With Dandruff:

- When patches that are scaly and very large appear on the abdomen, chest or back.

- When a rash appears on the back, abdomen or chest.

- When a rash appears on your face, legs or arms.

When patients have already had treatment and it does not go away in about three months then the doctor should be notified. If the treatment is not working the doctor might need to switch medications or up the dosage and do other tests to see if there is something else going on. Often times the condition heals up within a few weeks after treatment begins for dandruff.
