I started to get dandruff about 4 months ago. Ironically, my sister (who has the same hair colour/type/texture, etc.) as I do also has this condition. I hate it!! My doctor prescribed Nizoral shampoo. What else is out there that I can try? I'm into using natural/herbal stuff too.

Well, seborrheic dermatitis is the second most common skin disorder, acne is number one. The most common remedy is to use a sulfur containing lotion, such as Neutrogena's T-Gel. T-Gel shampoo is available over the counter and you don't need a doctor's prescription. T-Gel is meant to be used every other day. On days in which you don't use T-Gel, you can use the shampoo you usually use. For best results, use T-Gel 3x per week. The most common side-effect is photosensitivity of the skin (i.e. it is easier to get a sunburn). FYI, the "T" in T-Gel stands for tar, which contains sulfur. Other remedies include Neutrogena's T-Sal but try T-Gel first. Though T-Gel is very safe to use, you should mentioned this to your doctor the next time you see him/ her and ask if it is appropiate for you.

After having problems with dandruff, I started using Head and Shoulders shampoo years ago. It works great for me.
You can get it in a variety of formulas: for dry hair, for oily hair, and for normal hair. There's also a Head and Shoulders conditioner available. It isn't natural or herbal, but it has a better scent than most of the other dandruff shampoos, and it isn't as harsh.

attempt alternating between the Ketoconazole and Denorex medicated shampoo (attainable devoid of prescription). Denorex includes coal tar that's incredibly nasty stuff, yet while works miracles on seborrheic dermatitis

I have the same thing and I use T-Sal shampoo and I also use a prescription strength hair oil called Derma-Smoothe an it controls it just fine.
