Dandruff

Anyone have issues with dandruff? I don't know if it's related to bariatric surgery but thought I'd throw it out there since I never really had a problem until recently.

I had the sleeve March 2015. Everything went well. Hair fell out for a while but that stopped. Maybe six months ago I started noticing dandruff. So I've been using Head & Shoulders regularly for at least 4 months with little improvement. I eat right, exercise regular and drink plenty of water. And I live in a mild climate. So, not sure what the cause might be. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

    I haven't had this problem. My sleeve was April 2012. I don't know what could be causing it. Does your doctor check your vitamin levels? I don't know if any deficiencies could contribute to that problem, but it couldn't hurt to check.

    I haven't had this problem but maybe increase healthy fats and maybe deep conditioning treatments?

    @suzzi_can It seems to have gone away for the most part. I still use head and shoulders. All my blood work has been good for over a year so vitamins weren't it. I'm thinking maybe it was when the weather got warm? I guess I'll see again this summer!

    Try T-gel shampoo. It is by Neutrogena. When I get flare ups of dandruff, I use it and it takes care of it relatively quickly.
