Nothing worked so far - Head & shoulder, selsun, conditioner shampoo, balding, coconut oil - absolutely nothing. My dandruff is not only on skull, but also on eyebrows.

Treatments for seborrheic dermatitis are usually applied directly to the skin in the form of shampoo or lotion. Treatment depends on the severity of your condition and your symptoms. Treatment can take several weeks or months and may need to be repeated if the condition recurs.
A wide variety of treatments are used for seborrheic dermatitis. These include:
Prescription or over-the-counter shampoos containing one or more of the following ingredients:
Pyrithione zinc
Selenium sulfide
Salicylic acid, sulfur
Coal tar
Prescription or over-the-counter lotions containing:
Hydrocortisone or other cortisone (steroid) preparations
Ketoconazole

I agree with Dr. W., but there are a few things you can do before you pay a doctor. Try Nizoral shampoo or a generic ketoconazole shampoo. You can get this over the counter. For your eyebrows (and sometimes this affects eyelids) try 1% hydrocortisone cream. You don't want to use any stronger steroid cream than this, and you can get this over the counter as well.

See your physician. You can be treated with prescription strength anti-fungal shampoos. It may not be true dandruff... you could have psoriasis on your scalp, or much more likely, seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis responds best to topical steroids (like cortisone) which can be prescripted by your doctor. If you do have seborrheic dermatitis (which is very common in the eyebrows also) it should improve quite nicely with proper treatment.

DO NOT USE GEL !!
trust me, i know
it actually causes more dandruff
but anyways i cured my problem with some good 'ol olive oil
all natural, and its been proven to work
just dont use to much, and make sure you damp or moisten yur hair before you do (usually after taking a shower) so the oil can be equally distributed rather then just the top

T-Gel, I didn't see that on your list. Don't get T-sal or the generic, it should be T-gel it's brown, and has tar extract in it. Just try that before you give up.
